00:00It's very simple really. The telephone is connected to the telephone network with a British Telecom plug.
00:05And I simply remove the telephone jack from the Telecom socket and plug it into this box here, the modem.
00:12I then take another wire from the modem and plug it in where the telephone was.
00:16I can then switch on the modem and we're ready to go.
00:22The computer's asking me if I want to log on and it's now telling me to phone up the main Pressel computer, which I will now do.
00:31So it's a very simple connection to make.
00:34Extremely simple. And I can actually leave the modem plugged in once it's done that without affecting the telephone.
00:42I'm now waiting for the computer to answer me.
00:46It answers with a tone and then I just flick a switch on the modem and replace the receiver.
00:52Things are starting to happen.
00:56The Pressel computer is now asking me to enter my own personal password.
