To configure the Ascend Pipeline 25-Px ISDN adapter for MSN, follow these
steps:

1. Configure your ISDN adapter according to the Ascend Pipeline 25-Px
   manual.

   HyperTerminal.

   Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click
   HyperTerminal.

   NOTE: Ascend suggests that you use a different terminal emulator. If
   you use a terminal emulator other than HyperTerminal, you need to use
   instructions for that terminal emulator.

4. In the Name box, type "P25Px" (without quotation marks), and then click
   OK.

5. In the Connect Using box, click the COM port your adapter is configured
   to use, and then click OK.

8. Press ESC, press the DOWN ARROW key to choose Save, and then press

   Dial. If your adapter connects, quit HyperTerminal, and then continue
   to the next step. If you cannot connect, repeat steps 1-8.

   NOTE: The Ascend Pipeline 25-Px ISDN adapter uses a technology called
   MP+. Adapters that use this technology do not use the second channel
   until the bandwidth is high enough to require it. When the second
   channel is required it connects automatically.

10. Right-click the MSN or The Microsoft Network icon on your desktop,
   and then click Properties.

11. On the Connection tab, click "Connect to the Internet using a local
   area network."

12. Click the "Access the Internet using a proxy server" check box to
   clear it, and then click OK.
