Dial-up via modem not activated

[W. Bauer]

Dear all

When I try to setup my modem connection to the internet using the network
setup assistant, the choice "dial-up connection via modem" is not
available. This is so since the dvd-drive of my computer needed to be
exchanged; most likely, the company doing it managed made this
"improvement".

Is there any way that I can activate this choice again? The modem works
well, the diagnosis function is ok.

Thanks for any hint, W. Bauer
