This page last updated on 11/15/00

The following instructions detail explicitly how to change the Connection Manager configuration in Windows 95/98 to dial our 56k dial-up lines. They do not, however, configure your modem in any respect, or insure that your modem is using the correct 56k standard. These instructions also assume that you are already connected to Imagen successfully using our 33.6 dial-up lines.

If you have an Imagen icon on your desktop that looks like the one to the right, please click - here - to view the 95/98 Dial-up Networking instructions.

Step 1. Start up your computer and Windows 95/98. Wait until your see your desktop and locate the Imagen icon (shown as an example to the right).  Double-Click it.

Step 2. A window that looks similar to the right example should appear. Locate the Settings button and Left-Click it.

Step 3. A window that looks similar to the example on the right should appear.

Locate the Phone Number: field.  Left-Click at the end of the Phone Number: field, and completely backspace the number that currently resides there.

Step 4. Enter 537-4163 in the Phone number: field.

Locate the Backup number: field.  Left-Click in the Backup number: field and enter 537-1929.

The window should now look like the example on the left. Left-click OK.

By entering our 33.6 dial-up line (537-1929) as a Backup number, your computer will automatically dial the 33.6  line if the 56k dial-up line (537-4163) is not answering, or if there is another problem connecting at 56k that the modem can not automatically resolve.

Your computer is now configured to dial our 56k dial-up lines.
