Windows NT Internet Setup

The text below (other than edited bits within [] brackets) is from Microsoft.com in regard to Windows NT 4.0; there certainly may be differences between this and other versions of Windows NT, and this has not been tested for accuracy by staff at Eskimo North. If this is incorrect, please let us know the proper locations, names, or steps.

Alternately, O'Reilly & Associates Inc. has made chapter 6 ("Dial-out PPP Setup") of their Using & Managing PPP book available on thier website, including Windows NT instructions:
