[NTLK] Modem setup

[Mike Rodgers]

I can dial out, so I know that I have the correct pc card port.  I do 
not have a DNS entry because my Windows setup obtains it automatically.  
I use Copper.net.  I'll ask them for DNS addresses.  I'll try to display 
the script.  I also tried hyperterminal in Windows.  It connects but the 
connection must be different than normal because my email software 
(Thunderbird) cannot access my mail servers.
