Using Another Internet Service Provider
When you select an Intemet Service Provider on your own, be sure to select
one who offers a communications protocol called PPP (Po#a-to-Poktt
Protocol). Most Service Providers offer, this type of protocol.
Ask your Service Provider if they offer manual connection (login) or
automatic connection (the connection type will apply to both the Browser

each time you connect, and with automatic, the program enters that
information for you.
