General Notes:
*** Important New Information! ***
1. Portal has changed their network access
dialog. This help guide reflects the latest configuration.
Notably the SLIP.INI entry for older versions of Chameleon
will need to be changed in order to connect.
2. The default configuration uses dynamic IP address
substitution, so users should enter a dummy IP address of
1.1.1.1
3. Portal has a new service that allows users to connect via
SprintNet. The second interface entry (portalsp) in the
portal.cfg pre-configured custom file should be used for that
service. It's use is documented at the end of this note.
Chameleon Pre-configured access type: PPP
The phone number for SLIP access is: various numbers
