a. Choose a serial cable - check the back of the modem and of the computer
for number of pins and connectors:
There are 9-, 15- and 25 pin male (with pins sticking out) and female (with
holes for pins) connectors.

b. Connect the male end of the serial cable to your modem, and the other
end to the computer.

c. There are most likely 2 jacks on the back of the modem, one to connect
to the wall jack, the other an optional phone: Plug an RJ-11 telephone
cable into the wall jack, and the other end into the plug marked "line".
