Connecting to Eskimo North with OS/2
Step 1: Login Info
Bring up the OS/2 Dialer. Typically, the path to the dialer is:
|
A. Open "IBM Information Superhighway"... B. Open "IBM Internet Connection for OS/2"... C. Open "Internet Utilities"... D. Open "Dial Other Internet Providers"... |
If you already have an Eskimo Dial-Up entry, click on "Modify Entry" and select the Eskimo Entry. If you do not yet have an Eskimo Dial-Up entry, select "Add Entry"...
Step 2: Connect Info
Enter "Eskimo North" in the "Name" field. You can type whatever you'd like into the "Description" field. This will help you to remember which entry is which. For instance, if you have an entry that dials into the Seattle number - and an entry that dials into the Bellevue number, this will help you to distinguish one from the other.
Enter your Login ID (in all lowercase) and your password (which is case sensitive) in the appropriate fields.
Enter your local Eskimo Dial-Up number.
The login sequence is very important. What you enter here depends on the type of account you have.
If you have an
Emulated SLIP/PPP Connection, you will need to enter the following login sequence:
|
4 ogin: [LOGINID] word: [PASSWORD] ommand i.s\s-P eady |
|
p name: [LOGINID] word: [PASSWORD] PPP |
If you have purchased a 56k Dial-Up account, leave the login sequence field blank.
Under "Connection Type," select "PPP"...
The "Inactivity Timeout Option" doesn't really matter - because we have our own 12-minute idle timeout here. Our modems will log you out after 12 minutes of inactivity.
Step 3: Connect Info
Enter "204.122.16.31" in the "Domain Nameserver" field.
If you have an Emulated SLIP/PPP Connection, enter "eskimo.com" in the "Your Domain Name" field.
If you have purchased a 56k Dial-Up account, enter "yourlogin.ndip.eskimo.net" in the "Your Domain Name" field.
Step 4: Server Info
Your "News Server" is "eskinews.eskimo.com"...
Your "WWW Server" is "www.eskimo.com"...
In the "Mail Server Information" section, enter the following information:
|
Mail Gateway: mail.eskimo.com POP Mail Server: mail.eskimo.com Reply Domain: eskimo.com Reply [Mail] ID: your login name POP Login ID: your login name POP Password: your password |
NOTE: Your login is the same as your Eskimo login name. Your password is the same as your Eskimo password. If you have purchased a 56k Dial-Up account, use your other (shell/emulated password) here.
Step 5: Modem Info
Check your modem settings!
If you need to find your modem INIT string, look in your
modem manual or Ask Mr. Modem!.
Step 6: Try your connection!
That's it!
When you get connected, the words "Connector completed..." will display in the "Status" window.
At that point, you can minimize the window and open any of your Internet Utilities (Netscape, Telnet, etc.).
