Control Panel by filling in the following information.

Click the Options button. You will see
the Options window containing 3 tabs across the top:
Redialing, Connection, and Protocol.
On the Redialing tab there is a menu; pull it down to
see a list of options. You can choose not to redial the connect
number, to redial the connect number a certain number of times,
or to redial the connect number and alternate number.
On the Connection tab you may want to check the Disconnect
if idle .. box so that your computer will disconnect from
the Internet if it has not been used for the specified amount
of time. This will save you precious connection time.
On the Protocol tab make sure you select PPP from
the Use protocol menu. Make sure that Use TCP header
compression and Connect to a command-line host are
both checked, and that Use terminal window is selected.
When you are finished click OK to close
the Options window. Close the Remote Access window.

Control Panel and click the Connect button. You are now
connected to the HWCN.
