Description
Modems are blocks, which can be used to wirelessly transfer data between computers and turtle, using "rednet" commands. To place a modem on a side of your computer, sneak and then click right (sneak usually = left Shift key)!
you can turn the modem on and off by typing in lua: "rednet.open ( side )" - turn on, "rednet.close ( side )" - turn off
