A Dial-Up Networking connection will be automatically launched whenever you run a TCP/IP application, such as
a web browser or email client. When you first run the application a Connect To dialog box appears in which you
enter your User name and Password. If you check the Save password checkbox, the system will remember your
User name and Password, and you won’t be prompted for them again.
