Using Dialing Properties

Dialing Properties is a utility that has been integrated with Phone Dialer, HyperTerminal, Dial-Up Networking, and other communications applications created for Windows 95.

The options you set with Dialing Properties are stored in the TELEPHON.INI file (instead of the Registry) to ensure backward compatibility with older 16-bit Windows telephony-enabled applications.

With Dialing Properties, you can do the following:

• Define Calling Locations, including specifying area code, country code, and in-house dialing rules
• Define calling card rules

In Windows 95, you can access Dialing Properties from the Tools menu in Phone Dialer, or by clicking the Dialing Properties button when you make a new connection in HyperTerminal. For purposes of discussion, procedures in this section describe accessing Dialing Properties from Phone Dialer.
