 ====== Connect Windows 95/98/Me to the Internet with dial-up and Raspberry Pi ======
-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. 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 guide describes how to get a Windows 95/98/Me computer connected on the network using only the serial port of the computer and a [[Virtual Modem]] PPP interface software running on the network host machine, such as a Raspberry Pi. 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 between the Raspberry Pi and the Windows computer, and that the vmodem.sh script is running on it before attempting this part of the guide.
-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 Networking ("DUN" for short) 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.
 Once again, please make sure you have [[Virtual Modem|VModem]] set up and running and a serial cable is connected between the Raspberry Pi and your Windows 9x computer before attempting the following steps.
+Dial-up Networking has been tested working with a clean install of Windows 95 OSR2 rev C, and a clean Windows 95 computer with the DUN 1.4 update, and a clean install of Windows 98 Second Edition.
