How to access the internet???
Individuals have a wide variety of avenues to access cyberspace in general, and the Internet in particular. In terms of physical access, there are two common methods to establish an actual link to the Internet. First, an individual can use a computer or computer terminal that is directly (and usually permanently) connected to a computer network that is itself directly or indirectly connected to the Internet. Second, an individual can use a "personal computer" with a "modem" to connect over a telephone line to a larger computer or computer network that is itself directly or indirectly connected to the Internet. As detailed below, both direct and modem connections are made available to individuals by a wide variety of academic, governmental, or commercial entities.

There are four ingredients needed to access the internet :-

• The Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• The Modem
• Browsing the Web
• Sending E-mail
