connected to the Internet. How do I get started?
You can sign up from any computer connected to the internet, (the Library, at
work, or a friends house). Also, after you sign-up, You can also download the
ISP software and save it to a floppy disk to bring back to your home. If you
have windows, you can also configure dial-up networking over the phone are print
out the easy setup instructions for any provider.
Why is it important to connect to the
Internet with a local access number?
You want to use local access numbers to avoid paying long distance charges. If
an access number is in your local calling area, a modem will connect at a local
call rate, just as if you were dialing the number via a phone.
How would I know for sure if an access
number is local to me?
The only way to be absolutely certain that an ISP number is local to you is to
contact your current local phone service provider. Give them the access number
and they will tell you if that number is included in your local calling plan or
not.
