Use Ethernet if your computer has this
port
 |
|
Any computer can use Ethernet
Ethernet is the
most popular type of connection, and all you need is an
Ethernet card, which most computers already have. If yours
doesn't, you can easily get one; they’re inexpensive and not
hard to install (get any 10Base-T or 10/100Base-T card). To
use a Macintosh or UNIX/Linux computer with Telocity service,
you'll have to use its Ethernet connection.

This port is a good alternative

Windows 98/2000 can use USB
If you use Windows
98 or 2000, and your PC has a port that looks like this (most
newer ones do), you can instead connect via the Telocity
gateway's USB port.

You can use this if you don't have Ethernet
or USB
 |
|
Windows 95/98 can use parallel
If your Windows
95 or 98 PC has only a parallel port, go ahead and use that.
Note that if you have a printer also connected to the parallel
port, your Internet connection is temporarily interrupted when
you print. |
