Wijono Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 To the question of LLXX, the telephone.ini file (resides in %windir%) is the actual Windows file where the settings for the Dial-Up connection are stored. As far as I know, it is only used a.o. in Win98SE, it is not found under WinXP. It is a very short file containing following lines:[Providers]NumProviders=2NextProviderID=3ProviderID0=1ProviderFilename0=UNIMDM.TSPProviderID1=2ProviderFilename1=WAN.TSP[Provider1]NumLines=1NumPhones=0[HandoffPriorities]RequestMakeCall=DIALER.EXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I see... I didn't know this since I don't use directly connected dial-up modem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijono Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 I appreciate charles’s help. Those MSKB articles certainly shed more light on the subject.However, I would be grateful if someone could help me to get information on what each line is doing in that TELEPHONE.INI.For example, in my Win98SE PC, I once had following line (I don’t know what program has done it):NumLines=33After running Tapiini.exe it becomes as follows:NumLines=1But according to MSKB 120221, that value NumLines=1 is meant for WinME, for Win98 it should be NumLines=2.Therefore I am very curious to know, e.g., what that line NumLines= is for, certainly also on the other lines in the TELEPHONE.INI.
