After the necessary software, you basically need 3 things for dialup on the Newt...a compatible PC card modem, an access number, and--likely most important--a modem script.

EarthLink is my ISP...but originally I started with MindSpring ten years ago. They were soon bought by EarthLink...and fortunately for me there's a MindSpring modem script included, as I can't get connected with the EarthLink one.

You can try several of the different modem scripts listed...maybe one will work, provided yours isn't there already.

If that fails you'll have to write your own...it's not particularly hard, there's several webpages that can help you with that. This is something I found quickly that will get you started: http://www.56k.com/inits/ccledit.shtml  .

Good luck...let us know how it goes for you!
