Summary: In a few cases, it will not be possible for Highway 101 to automatically install and configure Windows 95's Dial-Up Networking software for you. For example, you may be on a network, which would require some special configuration unique to your site.

For this reason, we have listed below the steps necessary to manually install Dial-Up Networking yourself.

Details:
