Hello!
You are in a terminal window screen which should be quite unnecessary to get
into your ISPs. I am not sure why this is coming up since I believe it is
not the default. The password is entered within this screen by just typing
it and pressing [ENTER]. It does not display any characters, as you have
seen. Once you have done that, it may take a few moments for a bunch of
gobbledy-gook to start appearing. When it does, press the "Continue (F7)
button: the screen should go away and you should be connected as normal.
This screen is a great troubleshooting tool for ISP help people because it
bypasses a lot of the dial-up networking functionality (which can go badly
wrong <g>).
To get rid of it:
1. Double click on My Computer, then Dial-up Networking.
2. Right click (one at a time) on each of your connections in that window,
choose Properties from the resulting menu.
3. In the General tab, click on the Configure button in the lower part of
the dialog box.
4. Click on the Options Tab in that dialog box and then take the check out
of the box next to "Bring up terminal window after dialing"
That should do it!
I hope this helps!

hi, pcsoft. jim wishner here in minnesota. i re-installed windows 95

problem when i try to log on to any of my internet servers. it appears to
be a windows software problem. i get the modem handshake, then a
connection. then a box comes up saying "post dial terminal screen" with
three lines
Aptis CVX 1800
Access is restricted to authorized users only
User Name:
when i type in my user name, i get a password prompt. i am unable to type a
password...typing does not appear on the screen. then it times out.
it happens on both my national and local ISP. got to be a windows problem.
i have previously been running this same version of windows since '96 with
no log on problems. any suggestions, please?
