Setting your UIC Dial-In Connection

• Click on Start, then on Programs, then on Accessories, and then on Dial-up Networking.

  

• Double click on Make New Connection (this may happen automatically)

  

• Type UIC-3200 in the Computer Name field (the default is "My Connection") and then click Next.
• In the Phone Number field, type 312 in for the area code. If your modem speed is 14,400 or slower, type 413-3200 in the phone number field. If your modem is 28.8 or faster, type 413-9111 or 413-9090 (you could make a separate icon for each) and then click on Next

  

• Click on Finish to finish setting up the Connection.

  

• An icon will appear in the Dial-up Networking folder called UIC-3200.

  

• Click UIC-3200 with the right mouse button (instead of the left)

  

  and then click Properties, then on the Configure button (or tab)

  

  and then on the Options tab near the top.

   

• Put a check in the box next to "Bring up terminal window after dialing" and make sure that "Bring up terminal window before dialing" is NOT checked. Then click on OK.

  

• Click on Server type, for "Type of Dial-up Server" make sure "PPP:Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, Internet" is selected. "Enable software compression", "Log on to network", and "TCP/IP" should be checked, and the rest of the options should not be checked.

  

• Click the OK button, then click the OK button one more time on the UIC-3200 window.
• In addition, you may also want to setup another connection icon to automatically dial the second number (in case the first is busy) or to use the Dialin-Express line (which allows you only 10 minutes, but is seldom busy). Simply follow the above procedure again (starting with Setting your UIC Dial-in Connection). Name the connection something besides UIC-3200 (UIC-9090, for example), and use either the other phone numbers listed above, or the express number 413-3332. For more on our dialin lines, you can visit the following URL:

  Then click on OK.
