        To establish connection from the client computer to the server
        computer you should configure the client computer to dial-up
        the server computer, using the following information:

    <para>
        To estabalish a dial-up connection from the client computer to
        the server computer, you need to determine the modem location
        assigned by the operating system, so you can instruct
        applications like <command>system-config-network</command> the
        correct device they will to talk to. This configuration
        process has been greatly simplified by the
        <command>wvdialconf</command> command distributed with the
        <package>wvdial</package>
        package. To do this, run the following command and pay
        attention to the three last lines of its output:

        Now, using this information, configure a Modem connection
        using the interface provided by
        <command>system-config-network</command> command. Take care of
        replacing the <filename>/dev/modem</filename> device name by
        that one found by <command>wvdialconf</command> (e.g., in the
        output above would be <filename>/dev/ttyACM0</filename>). At
        this point, you can use the button Activate from
        <command>system-config-network</command> to establish the
        Modem connection you previously configured.
