 +====== SDF Dialup Membership ======
 +
 +===== What is DIALUP Membership? =====
 +
 +Best way to learn about the //DIALUP// SDF membership is to login to your SDF shell account and enter **dialup**:
 +
 +<code dialup>
 +
 +  you@sdf: dialup
 +
 +    SDF provides analogue and digital (ISDN) DIALUP service to members.
 +    To get a list of numbers in your area, use 'getdialup'.
 +
 +    Some quick tips and things to note:
 +
 +    1) You can choose from 54,143 dialup numbers in the USA & Canada
 +    2) Connections from 1200bps to 52000bps or 64kbps to 128kbps ISDN
 +    3) Read the bboard: for discussions on the membership
 +    4) Your dialup login is you@tenex.org
 +    5) use 'setdialup' to maintain your DIALUP login and SMTP AUTH password
 +    6) Pay your dues via paypal or mail (type 'address' for more details)
 +
 +       Dues are:  $10/mo, $27/qtr, $48/semi and $84/year and

 +The SDF>DIALUP FAQ and [[http://dialup.tenex.org/|dialup.tenex.org]] have additional information. Before you sign-up though you may want to run **getdialup** first to see what numbers are in your local/extended [[wp>Local_telephone_service|calling area]]. Usually this information is contained in your local telephone directory.

 +
 +===== I've got SDF DIALUP membership - Now What? =====
 +
 +Now you need to run **setdialup** and set the type of account and your DIALUP password. Most users will want to leave the //type// set to “NETWORK PPP”, the default:

 +   [s]  Set your connection type to SHELL
 +   [t]  Set your connection to TIP
 +   [r]  REMOVE your DIALUP Membership
 +   [q]  QUIT
 +
 +  Choice?
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +Enter “p” to set password:
 +
 +<code>
 +
 +  Choice? (SET) PASSWORD
 +
 +  Setting your password for DIALUP LOGIN:  you@tenex.org
 +  This will also serve as your SMTP AUTH for you.tenex.org
 +  New password:********
 +  Retype new password:********
 +  Password set for you@tenex.org
 +  Updates issued by mkhomepg, mkvhost, mkvpm and setdialup are executed
