 To use a Modem as a peripheral, you need to either call a method directly using [[peripheral.call]](), or, wrap the modem using the [[Peripheral_(API)|Peripheral API]]. Wrapped modems provide all functions listed in the [[Modem_(API)|Modem API]].

 * Place 2 computers and add modems to them by clicking the right mouse button while sneaking.
 * Access them, and start Lua.
-* Once Lua has started, type "[[rednet_(API)|rednet]].[[rednet.open|open]] ("<relative location to modem, e.g. left, right>")" on both computers.
+* Once Lua has started, wrap your modem using peripheral.wrap() (something like "modem = peripheral.wrap("<side of modem>")
 * Check if there exists a connection: a dim, red light should be found on the modem.
-* Type on one computer "[[rednet_(API)|rednet]].[[rednet.receive|receive]] (60)". This will make the computer freeze for 60 seconds, or until it has received a signal from the other computers.
+* Now, type "[[modem_(API)|modem.transmit]] (<Same number as above>, <Also the same number>, 'Your message')" on the other computer. This should send your message to all computers connected.
-* Now, type "[[rednet_(API)|rednet]].[[rednet.broadcast|broadcast]] ('<your message>')" on the other computer. This should send your message to all computers connected.
 * Opening the first computer should show the message written on the second computer.
