Notes:
If dialing our U.S. 1-800 number, enter the entire
number as 1-800-737-7530. If dialing one of our non-800
style numbers (see
list), use the calling format that works for the area
you are in. For example, if no area code is required when
dialing, you might only need XXX-XXXX as the number to dial.
Each country/state have their own calling formats. For more
information on calling patterns including access from Hotels,
visit our Helpful Tips section in the upper right corner
of this page.

Enter User name and Password, click Next to continue.
Enter your User
name and Password exactly as you entered it during
signup. These items are case sensitive so if you used any
capitalization, it will be required here. Add "@bamnet"
to the end of your user name. For example username@bamnet.
Important: do not add ".com"
to the end of @bamnet - this will not work!
The 3 sub-options
are your choice; none are required. If BAMnet is going to
be the only Internet access connection for your computer,
select Make this the default Internet connection.
Selections are made if there is a "check mark"
in the box.

Click Finish to complete the process.
If you would like
to create a shortcut to BAMnet on your desktop, place a
"check mark" in the box as shown above.
Upon clicking
Finish, a new connection for BAMnet will be created.
If you have difficulty in finding the new BAMnet connection,
click Start, click Connect To, and from the
list of available connections click BAMnet.
Click Dial
to let your computer dial BAMnet.

What
do I do now? Now that you created the connection,
test it by dialing into BAMnet. Upon a successful modem
connection, open either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
and start browsing the Internet. When finished browsing,
please remember to disconnect from BAMnet.
