Turbo Internet - Dialup Settings

The Dialup property page supports configuring the following settings:

Phone Number

Enter the area code and phone number of your ISP.  Use the Properties button to access dialing properties that enable you to control how Windows formats and dials a phone number.   The dialing properties allow you to control features such as call waiting, long distance access codes, credit card calls - and with Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5), area code rules such as 10 digit dialing.

Modem

Select and configure the modem you want to use to connect to your ISP.  Use the Properties button to access the modem properties for the selected modem.

Auto-Dial

Use these settings to enable Auto-Dial so that Navigator will automatically connect to your ISP when needed.  For example, when you launch a web browser, Navigator will automatically start your Internet connection if you are not already connected.

The idle disconnect timeout controls how long Navigator will wait after no Internet activity is detected before terminating your connection and hanging up your modem.  You will be notified before your connection is terminated so that you can override the disconnect.  How you are notified depends on your user notification settings.

The reconnect wait setting controls how long Navigator waits before resuming Auto-Dial monitoring after your connection is terminated.  A short interval of 2 to 5 seconds is usually sufficient for this setting.
