A internel modem in a computer can be used for a dial-up connection service from your ISP. A external modem is used for dial-up, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), and cable internet.

Dial-up = Phone line

DSL = Phone line (generally faster and does not cut out your calls)

Cable Internet = TV line

You should have your modem wired to at least one of your computers. If you have a desktop you should attach the modem to that so that it can send out the ISP to the other computers. It is necessary for you to do this, that way any other computer you use will have no problem picking up the signal and using the ISP.
