Please see section II for easy Windows 95 set-up.
Your IP addr: 0.0.0.0 (dynamic) Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Domain: zipcon.net MTU/MRU: 296 through 1500
Name server addr: 205.199.135.15 Secondary DNS 205.199.135.40
SMTP/POP3 (mail): mail.zipcon.net News addr: news.zipcon.net
To enable PPP on Zipcon, please login with a capital 'P' in front of
your login name (password stays the same. Use a capital S for CSLIP.
For instance, the subscriber a login of 'john' and password 'x75tU!'
would login as follows:
zipcon login: Pjohn
Password: x75tU! <---- the password never actually echos
PPP will start immediately after login, there will be no prompts to
wait for. With CSLIP, your dynamically allocated IP address will be
displayed.
Zipcon also has dialup networking support. This means that you have
the option of logging in over the PPP connection. In order for PAP
login to function correctly, you simply dial Zipcon, and start PPP
as soon as you connect. Once the connection is established, the
login name and password are sent over the PPP protocol before a real
session begins. For this to work, you must have software that has
support for the PAP protocol, have it enabled, and have filled in
your login name and password in the appropriate entry fields.
When using dial-up networking, you must not preface a P before your
login name. The P is only used to manually start PPP or via a script
login. Dial-up networking is a different way of starting PPP.
There are 'ready to surf the net' packages available on Zipcon. From
From the menu, press 'E', then go into the mac or windows directory
and d/l zipcon.exe You can also press # at the menu, and enter the
command 'macppp' or 'winppp'. For Win '95 setup check:
Section II.
