1.2 Connect in Minutes via the Genesis Prefs

1.21 Introduction

This is a no-nonsense, non-pictorial guide to get you connected to your provider, using a modem (for connection with a network card or other SANA-II driver, refer to the extensive Genesis documentation) within the quickest possible time.

Now load the Genesis Prefs..

1.22 Provider

Goto the ISP section. Enter your login name and password as agreed with your Internet Service Provider when you first signed up to their service.

Move to the Interfaces page and add a new provider. Double check that it states "PPP" in the Sana-II window

Goto the loginscript window and enter "dial" and "goonline". Now enter the phone number to dial your provider.

1.23 User

Add a user in the user section and enter their username and name.

1.24 Modem/TA

Select a modem in the modem options, or choose generic if your modem is not listed.

1.25 Finish

The information entered should be enough information to enable you to connect to your provider, however we only entered the bare bones needed to make a connection.

We would suggest a thorough read of the Genesis documentation in order to "tweak" the settings for your provider.
