After completing this checklist, you are ready to begin installing the Instant
Internet hardware.

Connect-Time
Charges

Some ISPs and local telephone companies charge a flat
fee for unlimited connect time, and some charge fees
according to the actual amount of time your Instant
Internet unit is dialed in and connected. Be sure that you
understand your ISP’s and local telephone company’s
policies.

PPPoE

If you are connecting using PPPoE, you must obtain a
User Name and Password from your ISP. Record this
information on

page 29

.

Installation
Information

If you choose an ISP from the Nortel Networks list, you
need to give only the ISP’s telephone number and your
user name and password for access.

If you are using an analog or ISDN connection, you can
choose ! Default as your provider and then enter your
name servers.

If your ISP is not on the Nortel Networks list, call the
Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center at
800-2LANWAN, Express Routing Code 169#, and
provide some additional information so that Nortel
Networks can create a dial-up script specific to your ISP’s
access requirements.

Application
Information

Your ISP usually offers some additional services, which
you might consider:

Access to a NEWS server

Access to a POP mail server (and an SMTP relay)

Individual POP mail user accounts for each user

NOTE: Be aware that a single-user account from an ISP
generally comes with only one POP e-mail account. You
can arrange for additional e-mail accounts with your ISP.
