Hi Gretchen, If you mean that you will be continuing to use Chebucto PLUS dial-up but on a newer computer, instructions are given below on how to set that up. If you are referring to high speed internet, Chebucto doesn't offer that service yet. We're not exactly sure when our wireless high speed service will, officially, start as we are still in the testing phase. To continue using dial-up with your new computer: if your new computer has Windows XP on it, just select: Start (the start button) and Set up Internet, Enter in the name 'Chebucto PLUS', the phone number: 494-6744 and XP should find the rest of the settings on its own. If it asks for a domain name, enter: chebucto.ca. If the setup asks if you want to create a new account, select 'no, as you already have an existing internet service and account. That option is just for those who have never had internet before and would need a new service and account. If your new computer has Windows Vista on it, read the instructions at the url below to set up Vista for PLUS: http://www.chebucto.ca/PPP/Help/WindowsVistaSetup.shtml Also: Windows XP has HyperTerminal included. That program enables you to connect to the text service via telnet/ssh, if so desired. Vista no longer supplies HyperTerminal but Putty v0.59, a good replacement program, can be downloaded here: http://www.chebucto.ca/Services/PDA/Windows95Comm.shtml Let us know if you require further assistance.
