Which Vista version do you have installed, 32-bit or 64-bit? I have set up
numerous systems with dial-up accounts, and it is as easy as XP, same
process, slightly different starting point. I would check first in device
manager and see if your modem has the proper driver installed. If not,
contact the modem manufacturer and get the correct driver for Vista86 or
Vista64. When it shows up correctly, set up the dial-up account. There is
a troubleshooting process if you need to use it, but I doubt you would need
it. If you get the driver for the modem set up properly, and still need
help, post back with the specifics, step by step, with error codes and
someone will help.
