Start at Control Panel/Internet Properties/Connections tab and click the
Add button. Give the connection a name and select a device (modem) to
connect with. Then go to Next, and put in phone number details. It is
fairly easy to follow. The modem must be connected and switched
on/installed at the time. The same procedure can create dialers for
internet or in house server dial-up connections.
Note: For in house server connections, you will need to get instructions
from the provider on how to configure the TCP/IP protocol under Network
Settings to communicate with their system.
