  9. The Choose Modem dialog box will appear. If you have a modem correctly installed, it should already be showing in the selection window. Click Next.
  10. In Step 1 (Internet Account Connection Information), in the Area Code field type 505 and in the Telephone Number field type 3254593. Uncheck Use Area Code and Dialing Properties. Click Next.
  11. In Step 2 (Internet Account Login Information), type your User Name (e.g., asmith) and your Password. Click Next.
  12. In Step 3 (Configuring Your Computer), by default the connection will be called “Connection to 3254593”. You can either change the connection name to anything you wish or leave the default (this is just an identification label for the dialer). We suggest Advantas. Click Next.
  13. When asked to set up your Internet mail account, select No and click Next. You will then see a wizard window offering to connect you to the Internet immediately. If you are ready to start navigating the web, leave it checked and click on Finished. If you are not, simply uncheck the box and click Next.
  14. Navigate back to the newly created connection named Advantas in the Network and Dial-Up Connections folder, do a single right-click on it and select Create Shortcut. A window will pop up informing you that you cannot create the shortcut in that window, and will ask you if you want to place it on your desktop. Click Yes. This will now create a shortcut for dial-up on your desktop. To launch it, simply double-click on the newly created icon.
