I've just had a look at this web site :-

http://www.ehow.co.uk/facts_6791518_specifications-slimline-s3123w-pc-maximum.html

And it says the your PC did come with both a The HP Pavilion Slimline S3123W had a 56k data/fax modem and an integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface.

There's more info and help, including user guide here :-

Ask AT&T if you need an ADSL modem or an old data/fax type modem. If its an old data/fax modem, you should be able to plug your phone line, may need the proper cable, into the back of your PC.

If they provide ADSL connectivity, then you'll probably need a modem, ask them to give you one or buy one from ebay or a shop. Should be really quite cheap. You may have a friend who could give you one because these are quite old technology now. Most people are now using a wireless router.

It may be worth searching on "youtube" for videos which show you how to do much of this.
