    If you do not see a modem listed, then you will need to install a driver for your modem as follows:

    1. In the Add RAS Device window, click the Install Modem button. This will start the Install New Modem wizard. You can let Windows NT try to detect you modem automatically (recommended) by clicking Next.

    2. If Windows NT detects your modem, then proceed through the wizard. If Windows NT is unable to detect your modem, you will then have the option to select your modem from a list or use a disk provided by the manufacturer. You may need to follow the directions in your modem's documentation.
