ACCOUNT SETUP

Preparing to Create a New Account

To help you create a new Internet account, Account Setup connects you to your provider's Internet account server, where you can learn about the various account plans available and create an account.

Before connecting, Account Setup asks you for information about:

- The modem you are using (note that you can't connect to the Internet Account Server using an ISDN modem.)
- The phone line at the location you are connecting from.

When you are finished using the Internet account server, Account Setup disconnects you from the server and automatically sets up Communicator to access your new account.
