<para>The first screen you see contains just introductory text, explaining the
|

|
|
things you read about in the first section of this chapter. Press
|

|
<guibutton>Next</guibutton> to move on.</para>

|
<para>The second screen asks you to choose the country you live in. Not all
|
||
|
|
countries are represented here, and if the country you live in is not listed,
|
||
|
|
you will have to press <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>, in which case the <link

|
linkend="dialog-setup">Dialog based setup</link> will start for you to continue
|

with.</para>
|

<para>On the next screen, you will be given a choice of Internet Providers that
|
||
|
|
&kppp; knows about, based on your choice of location in the previous screen.
|
||
|
|
Again, if your <acronym>ISP</acronym> is not listed here, you will have to press
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> and do your setup in the <link
|
||
|
|
linkend="dialog-setup">Dialog based setup</link></para>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>You will now be asked to enter your username and password for your
|
||
|
|
internet connection. Please note, that for some <acronym>ISP</acronym>s this
|
||
|
|
differs from your mail account user name and password, so make sure you use the
|
||
|
|
right one. Choose <guibutton>Next</guibutton> to continue.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>On the next screen, you have a chance to enter any special dial prefixes
|
||
|
|
you might have - for example, if you must dial <quote>0</quote> for an outside
|
||
|
|
line, or if have a prefix you can dial to turn off call waiting. Choose
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>Next</guibutton> to continue.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>And that's all! If you want to revisit any of your choices, you can use
|
||
|
|
the <guibutton>Back</guibutton> and <guibutton>Next</guibutton> buttons to move
|
||
|
|
back and forth through the dialogs. When you're happy, press the
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>Finish</guibutton> button, and you're all done.</para>
|

&kppp; Configuration dialog.</para>
