   Type your UIC netid in all lower case (jtesti1 or adabyron, for example) in the User name: box; type your password in the Password: box. Don't check the box beside Save password. (Not because it wouldn't work, but because it's insecure.) Leave the Domain name: box empty.
   
   
3. Click OK. You should hear your modem dialing and then "handshaking" to negotiate your connection's properties. The Connecting to UIC-1 box will open, displaying the status of the dialin login.

To disconnect, either right-click the connection icon -- a telephone in front of two bars -- in the systems tray area of the Windows task bar, then select Hang up->UIC-1->Yes or double-click the Dial-up Networking icon on your desktop, then click Hang up->Yes.
