The server computer (see - ) will be - configured to provide internet services and the client - computer (see ) - to make use of those internet services. The connection medium - used by both client and server computer is the telelphone line - (i.e., the same medium you use to realize telephone calls). - In this configuration, both client and server computers use - special devices named Modems to transmit data - in form of sound across the telephone line (see ). - - - - This infrastructure is made available to you free of charge, - however, you should know that maintaining it might cost you - both money and time. For example, for each hour the server - computer is on production there is an electrical consume that - need to be paid every month. Likewise, each call that you - establish from the client computer to the server computer will - cost you money, based on the location you made the call from - and the time you spend connected. - - - - To use this infrastructure, people connecting from the client - computers to the server computer must agree the conditions - described in . - - - - It is worth to mention that, you can configure one computer to - act both as server and client. In this case, your computer - acts as client of another server computer, not the one you - have configured in the same computer of your client (i.e., you - cannot call yourself and expect to answer any incoming call - using the same line you used to make the outgoing call, it - doesn't make any sense).
