Telephone Area Code

This option allows you to turn off the dialing of the area code when making a connection.  If you are calling from within this area code and do not need to dial the area code, but are still long distance and need the "1" prior to the phone number then make sure that a "1" is the last thing in the Dialing Prefix field.


Long Distance Access Number
Dialing Prefix

This field allows you to enter any dialing codes that you wish to have dialed before the phone number.  For example "9," if you need to dial 9 and pause before dialing out on a phone system.  This field can also be used to dial any long distance access or calling card numbers that you wish to dial prior to dialing long distance telephone numbers.

Com Port

This option is a list of the com ports that have been detected as existing and can be used by Windows.  Select the com port on which your modem is installed so that the connection process can find and use it in order to make connections.  If the com port you believe your modem is on is not listed then you need to make sure that Windows has been set up to allow use of that com port and then rerun the modem setup process.


Baud Rate

This option is a list of the different baud rates, or rate of communication, for the modems that can be used when making a connection.  Select the highest speed at which your modem can operate so that you will get maximum performance in your connection.  If you are not sure what speed your modem supports then look in the manual for your modem or select the predefined default shown in the box.


Modem Type

This option is a list of the different modems supported for use in making a connection by modem.  Select the modem that you are using from the list so that it can be used when making connections.  If your modem is not in this list then choose the closest one or one of the Generic or Hayes modems.

Use this option to accept the current settings and save these settings for future use.

Use this option to cancel the modem setup at this point and return to the point at which the setup was selected.
