Configure EMNET Dialup Service

The following guide explains how to set up our dialup service on your Windows XP computer.

It is assumed that you have a modem connected to your computer and set up in Windows. Unless you have done it before, you may also be asked to setup your telephone options, which simply consists of entering your area code and telling Windows if you need to dial a number (e.g. 9) to access an outside line.

If you get stuck at any time, you may find the Windows Help files useful.
