Even after getting all the settings it took some time to figure out exactly

Well, there were three diffrent numbers I could call (all longdistance).
But none of them was:
1. A real number (the modem couldn't use them)
2. A real phone number (they were not connected to the phonenet)
So I had to call the support and get all the info. I don't own a creditcard
(and probably never will) since I don't want one. My cousin doesn't have
one either.
Anyway it took so long time since they didn't suspected anyone to need it
and he only has one phone line so I couldn't check the settings while
talking with support.
I can't imagine how I could "survive" without an extra phoneline spacially
for my modem.
My family (espacially my father) used to pick up the phone all the time and
that would break the connection. (Or someone would call when less than 5
minutes was left and break a download of some megadownload (read Netscapes
latest version.))

Well, there's a setting for it. But you can't put anything in it. (it's
grey) When you first install it then you *might* be able to do it, but
after a few weeks the box turns grey and you need to find your password. :(
I should put my W95OSR2 CD in a bag together with a few other CDs and get
to his huose this week so I can get it to work again for them (and yes they
want W95).
