Step 4:
If your ADSL lease is in “pay-according-time” mode, select “Connect on Demand” or
“connect Manually” or “Time-based Connecting” for Internet connection mode. Type an
appropriate number for “Max Idle Time” or “Period of Time” to avoid wasting paid time.
Otherwise, you can select “Connect Automatically” for Internet connection mode.
