Windows NT 4.0 Dialup Configuration
This area is available to help you setup Windows NT 4.0 for use with SOHO
Central Business Class Internet Access. It will walk you through the various
configuration screens on your computer.
Some of these configurations may already be configured on your system as a
result of previous Internet connections and/or pre-installed with your system.
Please review this information to make sure it is correct.
Before you begin, make sure you have your Windows NT CD-ROM or
diskettes available and ready for installation.
