Setting up an Internet account
Before you can view the information on the
World Wide Web, you need to set up an Internet
account with an Internet service provider (ISP).
To set up an ISP service or to transfer an existing
account to this notebook, contact the ISP
directly.
Dial-up Internet connections are those using a
telephone system to connect to the Internet.
This may include ordinary analog telephone
lines, ISDN connections, and in some cases ADSL
over PPP, or other technologies. Because dial-up
connections are designed to be temporary
connections to the Internet, dial-up charges
(with both your telephone company and
Internet service provider) often increase the
longer you connect to the Internet. To minimize
the cost for dial-up Internet users, we suggest
that you only connect to the Internet during
your e-mail and Web browsing session, then
disconnect when you are finished. Your Internet
service provider can provide instructions on how
to connect to and disconnect from the Internet.
