Using the Newly Configured Connection
When you double click on your dial-up connection it brings up the same window you are used to seeing. Now, instead of bypassing the Username and Password fields on this screen, fill them in and then hit connect. At this point the rest of the pr ocess is automated, you will not see the black terminal screen you are used to seeing. That's all you have to do! And now that you have done it once, your username and password will be saved and you won't have to type those either. Just double-click and h it connect.
Dial-up Scripts modified from Microsoft PPPMenu.scp file.
