Creating a dial-up connection with modern operating systems is a snap.  We have included exact instructions for Windows® based systems due to the fact that the majority of our users use Windows®.  Other operating systems have similar setup wizards.  Most systems only require a dial-up phone number, a user name and a password to complete the setup.  To find the setup wizard for non-Windows® systems, please refer to your help files.

For your quick reference:

Denver area dial-up phone number: 303-486-9740
National Dial up numbers: Click Here
Connection type: PPP
User name: Requires "@prolynx.com"
IP addresses: Assigned automatically or Dynamically
