DailyPost.com Dialup numbers are 882-4800 or 753-6800
In your E-Mail program, server settings should be:
SMTP Mail Server = mail.dailypost.com

Cancelling your old ISP's Service:
You should cancel your old Internet Access service with your previous provider; DailyPost.com cannot do this for you.
Do not cancel your old service until you are satisfied with your new DailyPost.com service. Usually a phone call to
your old provider will be sufficient to order your old service cancelled.
