Double click on the "Make New Connection" icon.
You will see the following screen. Name your connection "Easton Connect" and then click "Next".
Do not change the default device type on this screen, this is your modem which is automatically
detected by your computer.
Enter the phone number from the access number list that is provided and make sure it is a local
telephone call for your location. If you need to dial an area code with your local number, also
enter it in the box titled "Telephone Number", the "Area Code" box should be left blank. Note:

Click "Finish" on the following screen and a new icon will appear in the Dial-up Networking box.
Right click on the Easton Connect icon that was just created and then left click on "Properties" from the drop down menu.
Make sure that the "Use Area Code and Dialing Properties" box is unchecked unless you
need to call long distance to connect to the nearest access number. Note: (Easton Telecom
Services is not responsible for long distance charges.) Click "OK".
To create a shortcut to the connection that you just made, right click on the "Easton Connect"
icon and select "Create Shortcut" from the drop down menu that appears. When asked if you would
like to place the shortcut on your desktop, select "Yes". This is what the icon will look like.
Enter your username ("username@eastontelecom.com") and then your password as provided on your
Easton Connect Access Form. The username and password are case sensitive, so be sure to enter
both in lowercase characters. Click "Connect".
