DUN setup will open automatically after successful installation of cFos. But you can also access it manually through the cFos context menu either by selecting "configure cFos" or "configure ISDN connection" / "configure DSL connection:"
Enter a connection and user name, a password and a telephone number (ISDN only) for each connection. Here, you can also choose if you want 'automatic connection' or not. In addition, cFos will allow you to choose among existing user profiles or add new providers for your ISDN/DSL connection (though you should keep in mind that depending on your provider(s) you may be charged for each additional connection). Note as well that if you want to use DSL, you will need to have all required external devices already installed. Please, consult your DSL provider for details.
