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 KPPP Dialer:
KPPP is an indepth and easy tool
for configuring dialup. It works much like the default Windows
dialer and is therefore recommended. It comes with the default
installation of KDE Linux, so if you use that version you likely have
it available. For further documentation during your setup you can
also click on QUICKHELP links inside of KPPP at anytime.

2.) Click on the ACCOUNT button.
4.) Click on the NEW button.
5.) Specify your connection name as
WEBCS.COM DIALUP. Enter the phone number you will connect to.
And then select PAP as your authentication protocol.

will now enter the DNS servers that we supplied you with at setup.
If you did not receive any from us please contact support with
your primary dialup number and we will provide you with them.
