How do I use AOL services through
CAL Internet Services?
|
|
Connect
to the CAL Internet Services, Inc. Web site. You are
now directly connected to the Internet and are free
to use Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc. While you
are connected to the CALIS Web site, launch AOL's
software.
On AOL's sign-on page, click on "Set Up."
Click on "Edit Location." In the first try
and second try columns, your network is probably set
to AOLnet. Click on the network pull-down and select
TCP/IP. This configures your AOL software to use your
CAL Internet Services connection instead of making
its own modem connection to an AOL modem. Click on
"Save" and then OK to return to the sign-on
screen. Now sign onto AOL as you always do. You will
not hear any modem dialing (remember you are already
connected to CALIS). You will now be accessing AOL
via the Internet. From now on when you want to go
online, connect to CALIS, then launch AOL, Internet
Explorer, Netscape, etc.
Once you become comfortable with accessing AOL via
CAL Internet Services, you will want to modify your
billing arrangement with AOL. Go to to AOL keyword
"byoa" (= Bring Your Own Access). If you
are now accessing AOL exclusively via CALIS, you can
reduce your AOL monthly rate to only $9.95/month.
This gives you unlimited usage of AOL as a "destination"
from the Internet. You will no longer being using
AOL's modems/infrastructure to reach AOL. You may
also find that your access to AOL via CALIS may even
be faster than via the AOL connection.

What is the V.92 modem standard?
|
CALIS dial-up service supports V.92.
With V.92, your dial-up experience is improved with
exciting new features, including Modem On-Hold, Quick
Connect, and V.44 Compression. Modem On-Hold enables
subscribers who have Call Waiting to suspend their Internet
connection in order to make and receive voice phone
calls over the same dial-up connection without having
to logout and re-logon to the Internet. Quick Connect
reduces the time it takes to connect to the Internet
(handshaking) by 30 to 50% by remembering the previous
settings negotiated when dialing the same telephone
number. V.44 Compression increases the overall throughput
of a user's dial-up connection, accelerating the download
speeds of text-based Web pages by up to 60 percent.
