.

11) Select Next
12) In the Internet mail account name box, enter a "Friendly Name" for your account.

Note: This can be anything you want. If setting up multiple accounts you may want to give each account a slightly different name, for example, "cointernet.net-Bob," "cointernet.net-Mary," etc.

13) Select Next
14) Select Connect using my phone line

15) Select Next
16) Select Use an existing dial up networking connection and make sure the connection name for ColoradoInternet is selected.
