How to restore DUN facility

[Derek Harvey]

Hi folks,
Can anyone remind me how to recover/re-enable DUN (DialUp Networking). I
need this on a computer I am selling to someone who does not yet have
broadband, but although a 56K modem has been installed and is working,
according to Device Manager, I can find no way of making a connection to use
it. I have followed all the help procedures but nowhere am I offered the
choice of dial-up. Network Connections, for example, only shows the LAN
connection, whether this is plugged or unplugged. I have tried lopoking in
Add/remove programs|Windows components but do not find it there. (It was on
the system at one time before I was able to go broad.)
Thanks for any help on this.

When you run the New Connection Wizard you don't get this screen?

Been away from that problem for a while.
I saw a similar screen BUT the 'use dial-up' option was not there, just the
broadband options. At some much earlier date, while I was using the system
and moved from dial-up to broadband, and becoming very irritated by some
things that insisted on trying to use the dial-up even though BB was
connected, I somehow disabled the DUN. I *think* I did that just by deleting
the old dial-up connections from Network Connections, but I might have done
something else.
The system is no longer physically with me.
