Dialing Manually

Windows 95 allows you to manually dial your modem if you are having difficulty making an international call or other connection. To manually dial your modem, you need a separate telephone headset and keypad. You can request manual dialing, using slightly different procedures from within any Windows 95-based communications applications, such as HyperTerminal, Dial-Up Networking, or Microsoft Fax. The following procedure describes how to manually dial your modem by using Dial-Up Networking.

To manually control modem dialing

1. In Dial-Up Networking, right-click a connection icon, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Configure button, and then click the Options tab.

   

3. Click the Operator Assisted or Manual Dial option, and then click OK.
4. Double-click the connection icon in Dial-Up Networking, and then click Connect.
5. When instructed, pick up the phone and dial the number.
6. When you hear the other computer answer, click the Connect button and hang up.
