If
the PC will be used to access the Internet from a
dial-up connection from home or other locations,
or if the PC will be used for faxing, a modem is a
must. If you decide to add a modem, be sure to
order your system with the modem
factory-installed.

If you will
be using your PC to access a network (or intranet), your PC must
have an NIC. Be sure to check with the network before you purchase
to be certain that their network is Ethernet-based and uses
standard Ethernet NICs.
There are
two kinds of NICs available - 10BaseT and 100BaseT. The numbers
refer to network speed, so you'll be better off with a 10/100BaseT
NIC for maximum flexibility.
