I want to be able to click on Netscape and have the dialer automatically pop up, how do I do this?
To activate the auto dialer in Windows 95 or Windows 98 so the computer dials to the Internet automatically when a person double clicks on Netscape or Internet Explorer, do the following:

  1. Click on Start
  2. Click on Settings
  3. Click on Control Panel
  4. Double click on Internet or Internet Options
    Note: If you do not have an Internet button, then you can't setup your machine to auto dial.
  5. There are several different versions of the connection window, here are the main ones:
    No matter which one of the above you might have, make sure the altelco dialer is set as the default dial-up. On some of these options you might have to click on a Settings or More Options button.
  6. Click on Apply
  7. Click on OK

Some Windows computers have a bug in them which will not leave the auto dial button checked. In this case, you will have to create a shortcut of the dialer on your desktop. Use the shortcut of dialer to connect to the Internet and then click on the web browser.
