Turnpike makes a good job of getting DUN settings right - it will even 
warn about inadvisable settings (although I don't know if that is the 
case with the version of TP you are running, which is exceptionally 
old).

Anyway, if you follow the template of DUN settings that Turnpike has 
made, you won't go far wrong. For a modem connection the only thing that 
normally needs to be checked is TCP/IP. Don't check software 
compression, as Denis said, and certainly don't attempt to "log onto a 
network".
