Using
CallBack With Your Modem
Revised 5 July 1996
WHY USE CALLBACK TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET?
CallBack is used to connect to the Internet's World Wide
Web in areas of the Globe where the closest Internet Server is a long distance call away
from your computer. For example, if there is no Internet server in your country, or you
want to use an Internet server in the United States or some other liberal country. You
would use CallBack to save money on long distance charges while you are connected to the
Internet.
A specific example: You are in Argentina and you want to use an Internet Server in
Florida, USA, in order to connect to America Online, because you do not have a Server in
Argentina that connects you to America Online.
HOW TO CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER FOR USE WITH CALLBACK:
You will need a small (Y) shaped piece of telephone
wire, called a "splitter". You can purchase the SPLITTER at any Radio Shack, or
other electronic products store. The purpose of the SPLITTER is to split your incoming
telephone line BEFORE it gets to your computer or computer modem, so that it connects to
your handset telephone and to the computer (or modem when it is outside the computer).
Basically, the splitter extends a single telephone line
into your computer and into your handset, and splits the line before it gets to your modem
or computer. Now that you have the correct telephone wire connections, you turn on your
computer and install the software of the Internet Service you have chosen to use and
follow the prompts and instructions given for connecting to the Internet. You will be
prompted to choose and dial the number of your US Internet server/provider (this choice of
numbers will be provided to you from the software you installed in your computer (America
Online, Prodigy, CompuServe, Netscape, etc. - follow the instructions and prompts given by
this software). To dial this number, follow the procedure in step 3 below.
PROCEDURE FOR CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET THROUGH
CALLBACK:
 | Using the telephone handset, dial your GlobalTel
International Access Number (we assign to you). Wait for one ring, then hang up.
|
| The GlobalTel computer calls you back and your handset
rings and you answer. You will hear, "GlobalTel, enter the number you wish to dial
now". Once you hear this you have a U.S. dial tone, and all numbers should be dialed
as if you were dialing from within the U.S. Your computer now also has this U.S. dial
tone, as the incoming telephone line is connected to the computer in the same way it is
connected to your handset.
|
| Once you have the U.S. dialtone on your handset, you
can then click the "CONNECT NOW", or "SIGN ON" button or prompt on
your computer screen which directs your computer to dial the Internet server number. Your
computer will dial the Internet Server and connect you to the Internet for sending and
receiving E-mail and for searching the World Wide Web.
