Default How to restore DUN facility

Hi folks,
Can anyone remind me how to recover/re-enable DUN (DialUp Networking). I
need this on a computer I am selling to someone who does not yet have
broadband, but although a 56K modem has been installed and is working,
according to Device Manager, I can find no way of making a connection to use
it. I have followed all the help procedures but nowhere am I offered the
choice of dial-up. Network Connections, for example, only shows the LAN
connection, whether this is plugged or unplugged. I have tried lopoking in
Add/remove programs|Windows components but do not find it there. (It was on
the system at one time before I was able to go broad.)
Thanks for any help on this.
Derek

When you run the New Connection Wizard you don't get this screen?

Default How to restore DUN facility

Been away from that problem for a while.
I saw a similar screen BUT the 'use dial-up' option was not there, just the
broadband options. At some much earlier date, while I was using the system
and moved from dial-up to broadband, and becoming very irritated by some
things that insisted on trying to use the dial-up even though BB was
connected, I somehow disabled the DUN. I *think* I did that just by deleting
the old dial-up connections from Network Connections, but I might have done
something else.
The system is no longer physically with me.
