        This chapter describes how to configure &TCD; to provide some
        Internet services through the telephone line. In this chapter,
        the computer holding the Internet services is named the
        <quote>server</quote> and the computer that want to make use
        of such services is named the <quote>client</quote>. We assume
        that both server and client computers have been installed with
        &TCD; (release 5.5).

    <para>
        In this configuration, both client and server computers use
        modems to transmit data in form of sound through the telephone
        lines system. The dial-up connection described in this chapter
        could be a choise when the only communication medium you have
        access to is the telephone lines system.
