Connection Instructions
Linux
Our DialzipTM dialup network is
compatible with all Linux operating systems. Linux is open source
and has several default dialers. Check your Linux documentation
for which dialer your system supports. If you do not know, try
the Universal Dialer or the command line dialer. Please note most Linux
dialers do not have dymanic DNS and therfore require DNS addresses.
Please contact us if we forget to provide you with these settings.
To setup your account properly you should be familiar with the
dialup protocols of your operating system.
Setup for Linux
using the Red Hat Dialer:
The following dialer (called RP3)
is available on any RedHat Linux install of version 6.2 or later. It is
by far the easiest dialer installation and highly recommended. To
find it goto your GNOME menu under INTERNET. It should be called
DIALUP CONGIGURATION TOOL.
1.) Once you see the above screen
click on NEXT.
2.) Your system will try to find your modem. If it can't, it will
ask you to configure a new one. If rp3 can't find a modem, it
will try to configure one. Select your modem from the list it provides
and click NEXT. If successful you will see an account name
screen. If not then your modem is not configured or installed
properly. Please refer to your modem vendor documentation.
3.) At the ACCOUNT NAME screen enter WEBCS.COM DIALUP for the account
name and then enter the primary number you will dial into to use our
service. Click NEXT.
4.) Enter the username and password
we provided in your setup email exactly. Click NEXT.
5.) When the system asks if your ISP is named in a list select no or
select NORMAL ISP. Click NEXT.

the GNOME menu and look under Internet for RH PPP DIALER. Click on it.
