In the final Wizard screen it offers to place a shortcut for this connection on your desktop. In the example picture below, we have selected that option. To complete the process, click the "Finish" button:
You may now close the control panel window. The connection you have just created is available in several ways. If you opted to create a shortcut on the desktop (see above), then you will have an icon on your desktop that you can double-click on to connect. In any case, you can connect by opening your Start menu, hovering over "Connect To", and clicking on the connection you just created as in the screenshot below.
Connecting
The connection is now ready to try. Click the "Dial" button to begin the connection process. If your modem's sound is turned on you should hear a dialing sound, then a screech as the two modems converse. After a few seconds you should get a box telling you that you are connected to the Internet. At this point you can run any Internet applications. These include Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, or any other program you choose.
When you have finished your session, click on the Disconnect button to hang up the phone and free the remote modem. You can find this button by clicking on the icon in your system tray that represents your connection, or by using one of the methods outlined above for accessing your connection.

Most connection difficulties are caused by a problem with the user's account (userid and password), so if you have a problem connecting, check these entries first.
