Please download dunc version 2.2 from the debian ftp server or web site. It make this simpler than doing it by hand, and gives some clues for DOS/Win users. The device it will use will correspond to COM1, COM2, etc. You need to know which COM port your modem is on. I guess if it really comes to it, you can just make four different connections, one for COM1-4 each, and see which one works. If your dial up server currently supports Win95/NT dial up clients (which is likely), dunc will get you up and running in no time (assuming you find out what COM port your modem is on.)
