on page 3-12, opens.
Some ISPs require only one phone number to make a multiple-link connection.
If your ISP requires you to dial a diffe rent number (one for each B channel), separate
the two numbers with a plus (+) sign. Otherwise, en ter the number as normal
(for example: 5551111+5552222).
Click on Next.
8.
Click on Finish.
9.
A new icon is created in the Dial-Up Networking folder.
Click your right mouse button on the new icon.

Make sure the Use country code and area code field is not checked off. If this field is checked ,
Wind ows 95 removes the plus sign (+) from the phone number when you close the window,
which causes failed co nnections in the future.
Make sure that “Netgear XM128, Internet PPP 128K” appears in the Connect using box.
If settings have been given to you by your ISP, follow those guidelines and go to step 20
on page 3-15
.
If settings have
not
been giv en to you by your ISP, go to step 13 on page 3-14
.
Either choice completes the configuration of Dial-Up Networking for Windows 95 using two
B channels.
