7. Enter in the Dial-up phone number Click here for Access Numbers (it does not matter if you have the dashes or not)
· If you live in the 510 area code, you can omit that part of the number.
· If you have Call Waiting, you should enter "*70," before the number, so that the number looks like this: *70, XXX-XXX-XXXX
· Also, if you have Voice Mail and your service beeps to indicate new messages whenever you pick up the phone, you should remove or listen to your new message before attempting to dial your modem. Otherwise the beeps will confuse the modem, which needs a clean dial tone in order to connect properly.
