1. Make a backup copy of your existing PAD.INF file in your
   %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\RAS subdirectory by copying it to a new filename.
 
2. Load the existing PAD.INF into Notepad and append the script below to
   the file and save it. Quit Notepad.
 
3. Start RAS, select the entry for your Compuserve X.25 provider in the
   Phonebook list.
 
4. Select the Edit button.
 
5. If you don't see an X.25 button, choose the Advanced button, and then
   choose the X.25 button.
