The command set for a single modem doesn't change from OS to OS. (or did microsoft find a way to do this too?) The handbook can't provide you with information on how to connect to your ISP, because the authors don't know your login name, password, the routine your ISP uses to log users in and start PPP. The authors also don't know the DNS or gateway you should be useing. I would be happy to show you how to log into my terminal server, but I doubt it would do you much good. If you need help connecting to your ISP, contact their helpdesk. --Troy (Oh, as for how to do things on your end, don't worry. Instructions are on the screen as you need them. Be sure to read them.
