This is part 2 of 3 docs on Linux support from Mindspring 

A few distributions have Helper Utilities to create Internet Connections.
These can be used, if available, to expedite your connection to the
Internet. Some Helper Utilities you can use to get connected include:

SlackWare --- pppsetup 
   Type pppsetup at a command prompt.

RedHat --- netconf
   Type netconf at a command prompt.

*For more information about domain names, consult the Domains section below

--------------------------------------

When starting these programs, they will ask you for some specific
information. You will need:

   1. Your local access number, which is available at 
       http://www.mindspring.net/pop.html

   2. The Mindspring Domain and Nameservers
       Primary DNS   - 207.69.188.185     
       Secondary DNS - 207.69.188.186    
       Alternate DNS - 207.69.188.187  

       * (Netcom users enter 199.182.120.203 & 199.182.120.202)

      For domain enter - domain.com        

   3. The Mindspring IP address.
       Mindspring dynamically assigns an IP address

   4. Your userID and password
       Your userID is in the form of "mailbox at domain.com" and the password
