ACCOUNT SETUP

Your Modem

To enable Account Setup to connect you to the Internet account server, you need to tell it what kind of modem is now connected to your computer.

To specify what modem you are using, follow these steps:

1. Select the modem connected to your computer from the pop-up up menu on the screen.
2. Click Next to move to the next screen.

If your modem is not listed in the pop-up menu, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your modem is properly installed, connected, and turned on.
2. Click the Modem Setup button, below the pop-up menu. (On Windows NT systems, there is no Modem Setup button.) On Windows systems, this opens the Modem Wizard, a tool that will help you specify your modem. Instructions for using the Modem Wizard are provided within that program. On Macintosh systems, clicking Modem Setup opens the Modem Setup tool. For assistance using Modem Setup, click this link: Using Modem Setup. Note that if you are using a Windows NT system, no Modem Setup button appears on this screen, as your modem has already been configured during installation.

On Macintosh systems, an item called "Generic" appears in the pop-up modem menu. You should select this item only if you are unable to specify your modem using Modem Setup. The "Generic" setting enables you to connect to your Internet account, but possibly not at optimal speed.
