To Connect to the Internet Using Your Dialup Connection:
From the Start menu, click Settings, and choose Dial-Up Networking.
Double-click the Make New Connection icon.

In the Telephone number field, type your local Dialup access number. An access number can be found on our Access Number Search page.
Note:
Please check with your local telephone company to make sure that the access number that you are dialing is a local, toll-free call. We assume no responsibility for local toll or long distance charges incurred for the use of our service.
When you enter the access number, type it exactly as you would dial it from your home phone.
Do not include a 1 or the area code unless you have to dial it to make a local call from your home telephone.
If you are dialing from a hotel, office, or other phone system that requires you to dial a digit such as 9 to get an outside line, insert that number before the access number.
To disable call waiting while using the internet, insert the call waiting defeat code (usually *70) before the access number. Note: only insert this code if you have call waiting on the line you will connect with. Check with your phone company to determine which code to use for your line.
Ignore the Area Code field. All numbers, including 9, 1, area code, or *70 should be entered in the Telephone Number field.
