Dial-out Dialog?

[W. Watson]

I'm installing some s/w on a neighbors XP machine, and he doesn't have it
configured for dial-out. I recall there's some dial-out dialog for that, but
I don't see it under Control Panel. I just want to put an icon his desktop
that he can fire up to dial-out.

To dial-out he must have an internal modem installed, does he have one?
Does he have any ISPs installed such as AOL, Netscape, Juno, Earthlink, etc.?
Has he ever gone on-line with this PC? With the lack of info you provided,
assistance is very limited.

start
settings
network & dialup

Figured it out. Go to Control Panel. Select Network Connections icon. Create
New connection, then follow the yellow brick road that points to dial-up by
phone. The result is the dial-out connection dialog is the end product. Make
a shortcut and put it on the desktop.

Glad you got it.
With Windows...if you poke around enough...
what you are looking for usually shows up somewhere
