3.5 Using Dial Up Connections

This section is only applicable if you are using a WWAN Device that supports
Dial-Up connections (a wireless phone and cable or a PC Card).
You can make wireless copies of existing dial up accounts on your system. This will
wirelessly enable them and allow you to connect to them wirelessly.
To launch the copy utility, select "Options", "Dial-up Accounts" then "Copy".
Click on the connection or connections you want to copy and click on the "OK"
button.
The new connection will have a suffix of "(Wireless)" and will be set to use your
wireless phone as the modem. If the utility is unable to automatically recognize your
existing area code and number, the existing number will be displayed, and you will
be prompted to enter the area code and number. The utility configures the new
wireless connections to always dial 11 digits, so that they will work locally and also
in other digital data coverage areas.
If it is determined that the connection might benefit by further optimization, an
additional connection with a "(Wireless Optimized)" suffix, will also be created.
This connection may connect faster. If you have trouble with the "(Wireless
Optimized)" connection, you can delete it from your dial-up networking folder and
use the "(Wireless)" connection.
* Some applications, such as AOL and JUNO, have Dial-Up Networking
connections that can't be used directly from VZAccess Manager or Dial-Up
Networking. Copies of these connections will not work with your wireless phone,
since the original connections do not work by themselves. In most cases the
original connections or the software can be configured to use your wireless phone
or CDMA PC Card as a modem. For the easiest way to configure AOL to work with
your wireless phone, see the section on Configuring AOL.
