Using Your Cable Modem
Once you've installed your cable modem, connecting to the
Internet is as simple as clicking the icon that corresponds to the
desired Internet application.
Note: At this time you may also want to install and use other
software, such as the value-added software included with
your Cable Modem CD or the software furnished by your
cable service provider. Refer to the CD(s) for installation
instructions.

After you have completed your Internet session, just close your
browser. The cable modem remains connected with the cable
system and stays ready to open another session.
Note: There is some risk associated with leaving your computer
and cable modem left on and unattended for long periods
of time. Security software, such as that included on your
Global Village CD, helps to protect your Mac in such
circumstances.
