Logically, connecting to the RIPC using a telephone line means nothing more than building up a dedicated point-to-point connection from your RIPC computer to the RIPC. In other words, the RIPC acts as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to which you can dial in. The connection is established using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Before you connect to the RIPC, be sure to configure your RIPC computer accordingly. For example, on Windows operating systems, you can configure a dial-up network connection, which defaults to the right settings like PPP.

The modem settings are part of the Serial Settings panel (see Serial Port Settings Menu).

Modem Options Table

Parameter	Description
Serial Line Speed	The speed at which the RIPC communicates with
	the modem. Most modems today support the default
	value of 115200bps. If you are using an old modem
	and experience problems, try to reduce this speed.
Modem Init String	The initialization string used by the RIPC to
	initialize the modem. The default value will work with
	all current standard modems directly connected to a
	telephone line. If you have a special modem or the
	modem is connected to a local telephone switch that
	requires a special dial sequence in order to establish a
	connection to the public telephone network, you can
	change this setting by giving a new string. Refer to
	the modem’s manual about the AT command syntax.
Client IP Address	This IP address will be assigned to your RIPC computer
	during the PPP handshake. Since it is a
	point-to-point IP connection, virtually every IP address
	is possible but you must make sure it is not interfering
	with the IP settings of the RIPC and your RIPC
	computer. The default value will work in most cases.
