How do I setup my dialer software to dial Red River?

Sometimes you will hear about the DUN. This is an acronym for "Dial Up Networking," which is a fancy way of speaking about the Windows 95 / 98 dialer. Every software program that calls the Internet from a modem needs to know the following information: (1) the phone number to call; (2) the domain name server address (DNS); and the language (protocol) to use. When you sign up with us we provide you with that information.
