If you connect to KMTS through a dial-up connection (modem), then leave it on the default selection (Picture 7), which is: “I connect through a phone line and modem”, then select “Next”.

If you connect through our high speed DSL service you would select “I connect through a local area network (LAN), then hit the “Next” button.

For our “Dial-up” customers, you will now see a screen that has a box to type in a telephone number. (Picture In that space, enter 467-5600.  Where it says “Use area code and dialing rules”, click the box to uncheck the checkmark beside it.   If you have call waiting, you can disable it while you are online by putting *70 (for example you would then have *70,467-5600), this will prevent you from getting disconnected when people call you. Now hit Next.
