Setting up a Dialup Mo dem

When a Modem is specified as the device type, your modem is probed by the Network
Administration Tool. This process may take some seconds. Once the Network Administration
Tool locates the modem, it displays the Select Modem dialog box, shown in Figure 3.3, which
lets you specify modem characteristics. Generally, the defaults are acceptable. However, check
the documentation for your modem to be sure. If your phone line does not support touch tone
dialing, de-select the Use touch tone dialing checkbox. Then, click Forward to continue.
