    starting up the operating system of the terminal that is stored in the memory;

    detecting, by the operating system of the terminal, presence of a telecommunication network access modem included in the telecommunication device, which is external to and distinct from the terminal, the telecommunication network access modem being configured to connect the telecommunication device to and access a telecommunication network and corresponding to the network access driver stored in the memory; and

    starting up, automatically by said operating system of said terminal, the network access driver, wherein the driver is configured to drive the telecommunication network access modem from the terminal by dispatching commands to the network access modem through a communication link between the terminal and the telecommunication device, which drive the network access modem to connect the telecommunication device to and access the telecommunication network.
