SBC DIALUP

[Debian User Leonard Chatagnier <lenc@ruralcomm.com>]

I've just signed up for SBC Dialup and was able to get on line without 
any more problems
than modifying the user ID and password entries in Pap- and 
Chap-secrets.  However, I'm
unable to activate my email account, userid@sbcglobal.net.  I tried the 
URI, tinyurl.com/3k9ds,
that SBC said to use to activate the account but, was only able to fill 
in about 4 pages of info
forms before the next button quit working.  On another attempt to 
activate the account, SBC said
to go to www.sbc.yahoo.com/download and download the SBC dialup startup 
disc(windows and
mac only) to activate the account and did so hoping to read the disc 
info to discover a way to activate the
account.  I got a message saying that my browzer didn't support 
downloading(first time ever even
for a windows program).  SBC is no help, not supporting Linux.  I'm 
hoping someone out there is using
SBC dialup and knows the solution to my problem.  Any help appreciated.  
Please copy my email address
as I'm not subscribed.  Thanks for your help,
