   Some PPP servers implement a "dial-back" security system. This means
   that after you log into their server, it automatically disconnects and
   calls you back to verify who you are. This type of security poses
   special problems for Windows 95 because the built-in PPP client
   auto-aborts when the remote PPP server hangs up.
   
   There is no "fancy" way around this, but you may want to try this
   method of "tricking" Windows 95: You need to tell your modem to not
   report that the phone has hung up, and to auto-answer to pick up the
   dial-back call.
   
   To do this, press the Start button, select Settings..., then Control
   Panel. Double-click the Modems icon. This will display the Modems
   Properties dialog box. Select the modem you use to make your Internet
   connection, then press the Properties button. Select the Connection
   tab, and then the Advanced... button. In the Extra Settings text area,
   enter the following:
   
   &C0 S0=1
   
   The &C0 tells your modem to "lie" about carrier detect, and the S0=1
   tells your modem to auto-answer after one ring.
