Figure 21.4: Modem Configuration
Under ‘Details’, set the baud rate and the modem initialization strings.
Only change these settings if your modem was not autodetected or if it
requires special settings for data transmission to work. This is mainly the
case with ISDN terminal adapters. Leave this dialog by selecting ‘OK’.
In the next dialog, select the ISP (Internet service provider). To choose from
a predefined list of ISPs operating in your country, select ‘Countries’. Al-
ternatively, click ‘New’ to open a dialog in which to provide the data for
your own ISP. This includes a name for the dial-up connection and for the
ISP and the login and the password as provided by your ISP. Enable ‘Al-
ways Ask for Password’, to be prompted for the password each time you
connect.
The last dialog allows specification of additional connection options:
‘Dial on Demand’ If you enable dial on demand, specify at least one
name server.
‘Modify DNS when Connected’ This check box is enabled by default,
with the effect that the name server address is updated each time you
connect to the Internet. However, if you enable ‘Dial on Demand’,
disable this and also provide a fixed name server address.
