Otherwise, the present manual explains the installation process. As the Dial-up Networking is different for Windows 98 and Windows NT, two separate descriptions are provided. See Annex: PC Data Configurations on page 41.

The SIM card must support GSM data.

The network operator does not need to supply any specific information, and it is your ISP who provides you with the user name, password and installation information in order to establish an Internet connection.

Please contact your ISP for installation instructions.

Note: your PC should be configured in exactly the same way as if using the fixed line.
