The default dialing method for US Windows 98 version is Tone. To change it to Pulse:


 * 1) Edit the Enduser.inf file in the configuration set folder.
 * 2) Under the [NOOEMRUNONCE] section, change the AddReg line to read:

AddReg=Welcome.Addreg,Chlinst.Addreg,MS_Mdm_Addreg
 * 1) Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

[MS_Mdm_Addreg]

HKCU, "Control Panel\International",DefaultDialMode,,"P"

The default dialing method in other localized Windows 98 versions may be Pulse. To change it to Tone:

You do not need to regenerate your preload boot floppy (PBF) after making these changes, but you do need to preinstall again from the specific configuration set.
