Setting up OlympusNet Dialup for Mac OS X

This document explains how to configure the  Dial-up settings in Mac OS 10  to access OlympusNet. To set up Dialup you will need three pieces of information: your Dialup Username, the Dialup Password, and the Dialup Local Number.

Dialup Username

The Dialup username is your primary email address.  For example, if your primary email address is janedoe@olympus.net, then your Dialup username will be: janedoe@olympus.net. 

Dialup Password

Your Dialup password will be the same password as for your OlympusNet primary email address. In the example above, the Dialup password would be the same as the one for the email address, janedoe@olympus.net.

Dialup Local Numbers

Please consult our Modem Telephone Numbers page for a few common local area dialup numbers, and links to local dialup numbers for nationwide locations.
