1. First we need to associate your modem to the OS.

If your control panel isn't open when you load X-Windows, then issue the command control-panel from the console.

2. Click on the telephone icon (modems) and select what port your modem is on.  Click OK.  Linux does not have full PnP modem support, and has no Winmodem support, so you must have a true internal or external COM port modem.

3. Next, we need to create the interface connection to After 5 Solutions Internet.  Click on the Network Configurator (looks like a graphical representation of several computers linked hierarchically) icon, and go to the Interfaces tab.

Click on the Add button to add a new interface.

4. We will be adding a PPP interface.  Select PPP and click OK.

5. Select your local phone number from our dial-up list and enter it in the Phone Number field. Please double-check with your phone company to ensure this number is considered "local" from your phone line.

Check Use PAP authentication.

Enter your Login name (username), and your Password to connect to our service.

When finished, click Done.

6. When prompted to save the configuration, do so by clicking the Save button.

7. Note that the new interface has now been added to your Network Configurator.  Now, click on the Names tab.

8. Enter in your hostname as localhost and your domain as a5s.com. Then enter the following DNS Numbers where indicated:

	216.90.255.14
	216.90.255.15

When finished, click Save.

9. Now, go back to the Interfaces tab, and click Save to save your configuration here as well.

10. To dial up to our service, simply come to the Network Configurator, highlight ppp0, and click Activate.  This should then dial-up and connect.  When you want to disconnect, simply Deactivate this network connection.

Once you're online, you can open any Internet application you might have installed and go to work with it.  You're all set.
