Automatic configuration of BOL dialup profiles
This document explains how to create a Dial-Up Profile for Bruin OnLine. You should follow these instructions even if you have a previous working version of Bruin OnLine. This component is necessary for network connectivity; you must still have other client software (such as Eudora, Netscape, etc.) to use this connection.
Please close any programs that might be running on the system before you install the profiles because you may need to restart your computer during this installation.
