Please download dunc version 2.2 from the debian ftp server
or web site. It make this simpler than doing it by hand,
and gives some clues for DOS/Win users. The device it will
use will correspond to COM1, COM2, etc. You need to know
which COM port your modem is on. I guess if it really comes
to it, you can just make four different connections, one for
COM1-4 each, and see which one works. If your dial up
server currently supports Win95/NT dial up clients (which is
likely), dunc will get you up and running in no time
(assuming you find out what COM port your modem is on.)
Good luck.
