Dial-Up Networking

Whether you use the Internet for e-mail or for browsing the Web, to connect to it through your modem, you must first set up a remote-node client program. The one in Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, and 2000 is called Dial-Up Networking. Dial-Up Networking establishes your connection to the ISP’s server, which is the shared com- puter that manages calls from clients (your computer) to the Internet. Most, if not all, Windows browsers start Dial-Up Networking automatically when you open them.
