Modem ports must be enabled in LapLink on both com- puters.

To connect to another computer by modem:

4Under Services, check services you want to use.

To dial manually:

1Click the Connect button on the LinkBar, and then click Modem.

2Click Manual Dial.

3In the Telephone Number box, type the number EXACTLY as it is to be dialed, including numbers dialed to get an out- side line, area codes, country codes, and a “1” when dialing long distance.

Using an Address Book entry to connect over modem

It’s a good idea to create an Address Book entry, especially if you plan to use the connection more than once. LapLink Gold allows you to connect directly from the Address Book, which makes it even easier.

To create an entry in the Address Book for Connecting over a modem.

1Click the Address Book button on the LinkBar, then click the Add button.

2In the Description box, type a brief description of the remote computer as a reference.

3In the Computer Name box, type the exact name assigned to the remote computer in LapLink. Remember this field is case-sensitive.

4Click the Connection tab. In the Connection Type list, choose Modem.

5In the Phone Number box, type the number to dial, using any standard modem dial string (e.g.: a comma is treated as a pause).

6If you need to use area codes or country codes, make sure to check the Use country code and area code checkbox.

7Click the Services tab. Choose the services you want to enable when you connect to this computer.

8Click OK to save this Address Book entry.

NOTE Click the Connect button to connect to this com- puter directly from the Address Book.
