ClaraNET Signup

Call our sales department on 0171 903 3000 between 8am and 8pm on weekdays, 9am and 6pm at weekends. They will set up an account and take all your details over the telephone.

Connecting to ClaraNET with your Computer

Although ClaraNET does not currently offer a software package for systems other than Windows, there is no reason you cannot connect, provided you have the software listed below and a modem. You will need the following software:

1. A Dialler

You may have to contact your software dealer to obtain the dialler software for your system.

2. Browser or Email Software

You can download this software for free from the Internet, or purchase it commercially. You will probably want a mail program, and a web browser at the very least.

Setting Up the Dialler.

Every dialler is slightly different; however the same basic information is required by each.

Please note that because there are so many different software packages available we are not currently able to offer technical support for software other than Windows.
