Greyed-out dial-up option in New Connection Wizard

[Andrew E.]

If it's greyed out,it's only partially installed for
operation.You probably need software for youre connec-
ction,if you elect to get with msn,it might work only
because its included with xp.Did the modem come with a
cd,or floppy disc.Physically everything is ok,but to
whom is the modem going to dial to w/o instructions.If
worse comes to worse,just get a cd for dial-up,any gro-
cery store has em at check-out,gets you going,most have
free 30 days.
