Modem.
2 Click Manual Dial.

Using an Address Book entry to connect over modem
It’s a good idea to create an Address Book entry, especially
if you plan to use the connection more than once. LapLink
Gold allows you to connect directly from the Address Book,
which makes it even easier.

over a modem.
1 Click the Address Book button on the LinkBar, then click
the Add button.

computer as a reference.

to the remote computer in LapLink. Remember this field is
case-sensitive.
4 Click the Connection tab. In the Connection Type list,
choose Modem.
5 In the Phone Number box, type the number to dial, using
any standard modem dial string (e.g.: a comma is treated as
a pause).
6 If you need to use area codes or country codes, make sure
to check the Use country code and area code checkbox.
7 Click the Services tab. Choose the services you want to
enable when you connect to this computer.
8 Click OK to save this Address Book entry.
NOTE Click the Connect button to connect to this com-
puter directly from the Address Book.
