NetTamer SetUp Instructions
by hawk@water.net
The first thing you must do before attempting to use NetTamer is to
obtain a PPP account. Then after signing up for the service, obtain the
following information from the provider:
1. What is the smtp address? Example: mail.water.net
2. What is the pop address? Example: mail.water.net or possibly your
E-Mail address - which is farther down the list of things to obtain.
3. What is the nntp address? Example: newsserver.technet.rx or
something similar.
4. What is your identifier? Normally it's your user id. Example: :
marion.doe or jbrown or other combinations. Some providers allow you to
choose your own.
5. What is your password? your provider will allow you to choose your
own. Suggestion: use both alphabetical and numeric characters - it's
harder to crack!
6. What is the telephone number to gain access? Example: 1-813-992-1214
or a number without the area code.
7. Try to obtain a secondary number in case the first one is busy.
8. OBTAIN A TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR TECHSUPPORT!!
9. What is the Protocol? Normally it's - PPP.
10. What is the IP address of the Domain name server?
Example: 205.161.118.4
11. What is your E-Mail address? Example: jbrown@water.net
With this information, you are now ready to execute NetTamer and input
the obtained information so that NetTamer will recognize your
information.
NetTamer needs to be in its own directory on your hard drive. So, if
you have unzipped it type:
pkunzip filename.zip
This will open the zip file into the NetTamer directory. We won't put
NetTamer in the path statement in your Autoexec.bat at this point.
That's something you'll have to decide on your own. If it is placed in
the path statement, NetTamer will execute from anywhere, but I've found
it easier to make a batch file - to keep my path statement to a minimum.
With the information obtained from your provider type:
cd nettamer
This will put you in the NetTamer directory - unless you're there
already!
Type: nettamer
Bingo!! Your computer executes NetTamer and the following is displayed
on the screen:

The first selection is the letter "a". This is the place from where
your modem is connected. If you don't know check your manual. Many
computers have their modem in com 1.

So, if your com port is in com port 1 - hit the letter "a" and you will
be kicked back to the first screen so that you may continue making
selections.
When you get to the letter "l" that's where you will need the
information obtained from your provider.
Press the letter "l" and you will see:

1-800-779-2966
NOTE: If you want to interrupt call waiting the code is "*70," Do not
put in the quotation marks. The comma after the *70 is the shortest
delay possible. If you find that it isn't sufficient insert another
comma, etc....
Before you change the number that is already in place, hit the delete

the "*70," if necessary. If not enter the telephone number your
