SLIPSTREAM CLIENT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MACINTOSH OS X
Last updated: 12/20/2010

Installation Instructions

The minimum system requirements are a Macintosh 350mhz with at least 128mb RAM and at least 5MB of hard-drive space running Macintosh OS X (any release). It is not supported by OS 9 or earlier versions of Mac OS.

1. New dial-up number

Only our statewide phone numbers support this new acceleration technology.  You must change your dial-up number to a SlipStream modem bank to use SlipStream service. 

Dial-up numbers can be found here along with instructions on how to change your dial-up phone number.

Tip: The new SlipStream statewide phone numbers all end in 1241 instead of 1240, but are otherwise the same.  Example:  Marysville (530) 216-1240 = normal dial-up | Marysville (530) 216-1241 = SlipStream only
