How do I get connected to my Dialup account?
 When
you sign up for a Dialup account at Vaxxine, you receive a
software disk to install that automatically configures your Dialup
connection, so all you need to do is install the software, and you're
up and running! However, if
for some reason you need to configure your Dialup connection
manually, here is some additional background and instruction on setting
up
your connection.
Dialup
accounts require that you log into our server with the correct username
and password. A Dialup connection uses your computer's modem,
to connect directly
with
the
Vaxxine's server. Once connected, you can surf the Internet, send
E-mail, etc..
To configure you Dialup connection manually, you'll need to make
sure you have your Vaxxine username and password ready before proceeding.
Your dialup connection only needs to be configured
once. After that, you can simply double-click on the the dial-up
connection you created to connect to the Internet.
Please
follow
the instructions below to set up your connection. If
you need additional help
connecting, or have a different operating system, please contact
our Tech Support Dept.
