Changing OlympusNet Dialup to DialupUnlimited for Windows XP

This document provides instructions for changing OlympusNet Dialup to DialupUnlimited, using the Windows XP operating system.  To set up DialupUnlimited you will need three pieces of information: your DialupUnlimited Username, the DialupUnlimited Password, and the DialupUnlimited Local Number.

DialupUnlimited Username

The DialupUnlimited username is made from your primary email address, in this form: username@mars.olympus.net.

For example, if your email address is janedoe@olympus.net, then your DialupUnlimited username will be: janedoe@mars.olympus.net. Please note that the username janedoe@mars.olympus.net is never used as an email address to send email. It is used only in the settings to establish the connection to DialupUnlimited.

DialupUnlimited Password

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

DialupUnlimited Local Numbers

The phone number that your computer dials to connect to DialupUnlimited is as follows:

Port Townsend:  344-4635
Sequim and Port Angeles:  504-9435

If you are dialing from an area that is not a local call to Port Angeles, Sequim, or Port Townsend, please check the DialupUnlimited Modem Numbers List  for a local number for your city and state.
