To set up a dial-up networking connection to MSN, you have to preface your user name with "MSN/". Note, that's a forward slash and not the backslash you'd normally use to prefix a domain to a user account. Other than that, it's set up just like a normal dial-up connection. If you joined MSN and kept a hotmail address, this doesn't work. I'm trying to find a way around that now.
