The Connect To dialog box will appear, in which you need to type your username and password into the supplied text fields.

Important:

1. The username and password that you need to type was supplied to you on an Customer Connection Details sheet when the Internet account was set up.
2. The case of both the username and password is critical. If you type the fields incorrectly, our system will not connect you, and you will waste a phone call. Your username is always in lower case.
3. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT YOUR CAPS LOCK IS NOT ENABLED.

Then click Connect and the modem should start dialing. After two rings, it is most likely that one of Intertech Country Internet's modems will answer the call, and a small box should appear saying Verifying Username and Password. The message Connected at 38400, or similar, should appear, indicating that that you are now connected to the Internet. Congratulations!!
