Summary:
You can use manual dial with RAS when using a manual-dial modem or
when placing a call through an operator. To use manual dialing,
perform the following steps:
1. Connect the telephone to the modem, as indicated in your modem
user's guide. Modems usually have one socket to be connected to the
telephone jack (in the wall), and another socket to be connected to
the telephone.
2. Make an entry in the phone book without including a phone number;
that is, leave the phone number field blank.
3. Select the entry, and from the Dial menu, choose Connect.
4. When the Connect dialog box appears, enter your password, but do
not press OK.
5. Pick up the telephone hand set and dial the number of the RAS
server (or, in the case of an operator-assisted call, dial the
operator and ask him or her to connect you to the RAS server's
telephone number).
7. As soon as you hear the telephone ringing at the RAS server, press
OK in the Connect dialog box.
8. Wait until the Authenticating User message appears, then replace
the telephone hand set.
