I found the instructrions for setting up the modem and the gateway. It is
a printed ISP number in a printed folder which leads me to wonder if all
users have the same ISP number. Is that the case?

What does the file do? Can you give me some reason or reasons why it
won't work?

The only folder I see is TCP/IP ^ Internet (LAN). I don'tsee the folder
you specified.
I assume I will have to make an icon that will start DSL. What
file/program should it access?
Sorry to be so stupid.
