You have to establish an AT&T Worldnet account using the Windows based sign-up kit first if you don't already have one. You can either use the AT&T sign-up CD that AT&T sends out or, if you already have a Windows-based browser installed on a Windows computer, you can download the sign-on kit from www.att.net It is a 2MB download.
This sign-up software will not work under Win-OS2, you have to do it from Windows. Easy enough if you have a dual boot setup or another computer with Windows installed. When you initially sign on, you have the option of selecting a browser of your choice. If you have the CD-based sign-on kit, I believe an AT&T branded version of Netscape is on it. If you downloaded the sign-on software and you already have a Windows version of a browser installed, the sign-on software will find it automatically.
Once you have established the new account, search your harddisk for the file ACCOUNT.TXT. This file will also be copied to a floppy for backup if you chose to do so during the sign-on. This file contains all the information you need to setup your OS/2 dialer and browser. The information is not encoded, so all the passwords you established are easily available. You may want to keep that file in a secure location!
Below are three pictures that show how the IBM Dial-Up for TCP/IP needs to be setup to be able to access AT&T Worldnet with any OS/2 browser, ftp or mail software. Pictures save a thousand words. Most information can be copied straight over from the ACCOUNT.TXT file. The Modem Info (page 4 of 4) must be setup according to your modem and com port used and is not shown here.
The IBM Dial-Up for TCP/IP program is part of the bonus pack of IBM's Warp 3 and Warp 4 and is installed when you choose TCP/IP support during Warp installation. To access IBM Dial-Up for TCP/IP, you need to open the "Dial Other Internet Providers" object. Warp 3.0 users will find this object in the "Internet Utilities" subfolder of the "IBM Internet Connection for OS/2" folder. Warp 4.0 users will find the object in the "Internet (Modem)" subfolder of the "Programs" folder.
Figure 1 below shows the Login Info accessible on page 1 of 4 when clicking on the Add Entry or Modify Entry icon on the IBM Dial-Up main program window.
