Ok, this is where I am stuck, what do I need to do to configure the system to recognize my modem and dialup my ISP? There is not a detailed help area in the setup area, so Im not really even sure what to do here. Im not quite a novice with UNIX, DOS, or Windows, but obviously I am having a couple of troubles here which are probably easily solved.......? I appreciate your answer in advance.
