The information and screen examples shown in this section are from Windows NT. Although similar to the Dial-up implementations in other Windows versions, small differences in the dialog instructions for other oper- ating systems should be expected. Refer to your system information for further information on creating a Dial-up modem connection if you are using any other operating system.

Windows Dial-up Networking and TCP/IP must be correctly installed prior to commencing with the modem cable connection. Detailed information on how to check this is provided in the Microsoft Windows Help.
