Dialup Icon?

[Bobk]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi Everyone,

I am using a cable connection but also have a dialup in case the cable goes
down. In Win98 you could see the dialup icon under My Documents.

Where is the dialup icon in WinXP Pro?

I just want to have a handy shortcut for emergencies.

Thanks,

Bob

Hummmm, I don't have a start/connect to . I am on a LAN which uses my cable
and the dialup is an added but unused feature. I wonder if the LAN setup for
a cable connection has something to do with it.

Any ideas on where to look for it or get it on the start menu?

Thanks,

Bob

You must have put it in My Documents cause Windows 98 didn't.
Start - Connect To
