Dial-up connection

[Raymond]

I installed Win XP Professional and seem to have lost the
ability to create an internet connection using a dial-up
connection. After selecting to connect to the internet
manually, I get a screen that has three choices, however
the choice to use the dial-up connection is greyed out and
the only available option is connect via a high-speed or
broadband connection. What is the problem?
