Yes, quite a bit. This new modem pool requires that users configure their computers to make what is known as a PPP dial up Internet connection. In fact, most CEO users currently connect this way from home.

Most Windows 95, Windows 98, and recent Macintosh operating systems have PPP dial up networking built in.
