following:
For North American ISDN, select the name of your ISDN device.
For European ISDN, select ISDN via CAPI 2.0.
See "Customizing European ISDN connections" on page 65.

Click OK.
On Vista, you might be prompted to approve this action because changing
the host properties might affect other users.
If the host and remote computers are nearby, you can connect the two computers
directly using a null cable. A direct connection is typically faster than a modem
connection, especially if you want to transfer large files. Direct connections require
a serial (COM) port and a null serial cable.
For more information about finding an available port on your computer, consult
your Windows documentation.
Symantec pcAnywhere requires a user name and password for all host sessions.
