Backup dialup info

I don't have a phone in my shop, only a cellphone. I was wondering if anyone knows how to back up the dialup information so that i can copy it onto a reinstalled computer and not have to connect at least once in order to establish the account and have the password saved.
if this needs to be re-worded please let me know and isle try again.

I would just write it down on paper, as I don't think it can be saved any other way.

thanks bailey writing it down is easy but i did say:
i have no land line to set this account up for the customer
she would not know how (even with instructions) to set the thing up
since i have no phone i cannot set it up because the account name and password will only save after it has connected the first time.
now i do know that if you name somethingorother on the computer (win98 bye the way) then when you set up a dialup account that name will be the first thing that shows up in the username box.
i want to be able to find out what file (with encrypted info inside i am sure) that i can save to a flop or cd in order to copy that back and perhaps have a completed dialup for a local $9.95 a month connection
