Changing your dial-up phone number

Windows 2000

    If you have a dialup icon on your desktop, it's really easy to change your dial-up number.  The next time you double-click on the icon, before you hit the Dial button (see picture at right), just change the number.  If your old number was 882-8768, here is your new number:

   If you don't have a dial-up icon on the desktop, go to the Start button and click on Settings, then Control Panel.

    Double-click on the Network and Dialup icon.

    Double-click on The Cactus TurboNet icon.  (Some people called this icon something else, such as "My Connection,  "Connection to 882-8768" or just "TurboNet".)  Change the phone number in the Phone number box, leaving the area code box blank, then click the OK button. 

Local usernames also change.  If it was "myname", then it becomes "myname@turbonet.com".
