Setting up and using GUExpress on Mac OS 9 (or earlier)

Part I: Creating a new dial-up connection

If you are not using Mac OS 9 (or earlier), use the links on the left to choose the operating system you are using.

Once you have created a dial-up connection and connected to Georgetown, you can Launch Netscape Communicator and use the Internet or access your GUMail account just as you would from your office computer. While using GUExpress, you may sometimes find it convenient to work offline.
