How do I connect to AT&T's WorldNet service. I received
their CDROM last week and installed it. Tried to register
with the software and it gave me the message:

Dial in driver not loaded.

Does anyone know what this means. i

On another note I called AT&T and they said that
they wouldn't support OS/2, only to find out in the
newsgroup that there is a way.
Could someone post the exact procedure to get
the service up and running and what to fill in on
each of th 4 pages of the provider. (Login info,
Connect info, Server info, and Modem info) How do
they match up with in the info in the reg.ini file.
(Besides the obvious)

Thanks in advance,

1) Boot DOS/Windoze and do the initial login/registration thru
the Worldnet software. (The FAQ I saw said you couldn't do it
from WinOS/2. Heck, it isn't worth fighting)

2) Use the data in reg.ini to fill in all the fields in the IAK
dialer after #1. It's all pretty obvious.

Good Luck.

The tech guy I talked to about this basically stole the line from
Mission Impossible - "Your mission, should you chose to accept
it ... we will disavow all knowledge" etc, etc..... ;)

Check out the WorldNet User's Reference desk at:
http://www.mindspring.com/~ekelley/worldnet/index.htm

There is a section on how to setup the OS/2 dialer.
