The typical connection begins with your home computer. Your computer must meet certain minimum technical standards regarding speed and memory and must have a modem, the device that connects your computer to the outside world via phone lines.

Your computer must also have a web browser program such as Netscape or Internet Explorer installed on it. Depending on the class, you may also need other programs installed such as a word processor or web browser plugins.
