You'll need the following information
to set up MacOS X to dial in to Niagara Internet.
Modem Settings
You'll need to know what kind of modem you have
(manufacturer and model or speed), which port
on your Mac its plugged into (modem port or
printer port), and whether your phone line has
tone or pulse dialing (almost everyone has tone
dialing these days).
Phone Numbers
Niagara Internet has several
modem dialup numbers for 56k, depending on your
location.
Username
This should be set to whatever you selected
as your username when you signed up for a Niagara Internet account. Make sure you enter your username
in all lowercase letters!
Password
This should be set to whatever you selected
or were assigned as your password when you signed
up for a Niagara Internet account. Your password
is case sensitive, too, make sure you enter
it exactly!
Domain Name Servers
These are server assigned.. Our Domain Name
is "sysr.com".
E-mail Address
Your email address is probably "username@sysr.com"
unless you have made other arrangements with
Niagara Internet. Your email password is the
same as your dialup password.
E-mail Account
Your POP email account is "username@sysr.com".
Our SMTP server is "mail.sysr.com".
News Server Host
Our NNTP server is "news.sysr.com".
