| - | This step-by-step guide will show you how to get a Windows 95/98/Me computer connected to the Internet using just a serial port, and Virtual Modem running on your Raspberry Pi host system or other system of choice. If you have not already, please follow the [[Guides:Virtual Modem|instructions how to set up Virtual Modem]] as it is a prerequisite for this tutorial. Make sure the serial cable is connected to the Raspberry and the vmodem.sh script is running on it before attempting this part of the guide. You can manually run vmodem.sh to see what is happening on the console of the Raspberry Pi if you need to troubleshoot. | + | This step-by-step guide will show you how to get a Windows 95/98/Me computer connected to Ethernet and the Internet using just a serial port and Virtual Modem software running on your Raspberry Pi host system or other system of choice.

| You can connect to the Internet with the built-in dial-up functionality of Windows 95/98/Me, no network card needed. We will go through the steps how to set up a modem and then a dial-up connection on your Windows 95 (or later) computer. For the sake of completeness, we will then test the connection using Netscape Communicator 4.0, but you're free to use any web browser. | You can connect to the Internet with the built-in dial-up functionality of Windows 95/98/Me, no network card needed.

| For you to connect to VModem running on your Raspberry Pi, you must first tell Windows 95 that you have a modem that you can use, and it is connected to your serial port on your computer and it is a Standard Modem. Once you've set up the modem, you can set up the dial-up connection. | For you to connect to VModem running on your Raspberry Pi, you must first tell Windows 95 that you have a modem that you can use, and it is connected to your serial port on your computer and it is a Standard Modem.

| Note: Some computers have several serial ports, usually labeled COM1 and COM2 in Windows. We will be using the first serial port COM1. If you have the Raspberry connected on any other port, make adjustments as necessary. | Note: Some computers have several serial ports, usually labeled COM1 and COM2 in Windows.
