Do you have the dialup account information? If so, then create a new dial up connection, Start->Control Panel->Network Connections->Create a New Connection.

Right Open control panel - then network connections

Then "create new connection"

Click "connect to the internet" Next

Click "set up manually" Next

Click "connect using dial up modem" Next

Type in anything e.g. Eircom or My God This Is Slow

Type 1892150150 - this is the number on the setup disk.

Leave user name and password blank or whatever.

and click Finish.

There's probably an easier way but thats what I did,

Hope it works.:D

You shouldn't need to call them, its the free account number.

As Ruu said No need to call or let them know. On your itemised bill it just says internet 1892, how long and how much it cost. (not sure but about 2/3c a minute).:D
