Question

does not offer an affordable cable internet service. All I need is a phone line and plug it into the back of the computer and the wall. They are supposed to be sending me a CDROM to connect the service. Am I going about this correctly, I'm just worried about screwing this up.

Answer 1

You are correct...just plug the phone line into your modem in your computer and you are good to go. When you are connected to NetZero, you will not be able to use your phone. Also, if you have call waiting, you should disable it (*70 usually) when you are dialing NetZero or else if someone calls, you will get kicked off.

Answer 2

Make a backup of your hard drive before you make any changes just in case the new software screws things up as I have seen many times in the past. I have seen NetZero cause a screen to go black and restarting the computer didn't help. Had to use a rescue disk and run my backup.
