System Requirements for EONI Dialup Internet Access

Effective March 13, 2000 the following requirements must be met before EONI will offer Internet access to a new dialup subscriber. Current subscribers should read these requirements as well, because technical support will not be offered to users with systems not fulfilling these specifications.

NOTE: You will be subject to additional minimum requirements if you choose EONI Wireless Service.

Windows systems
  • Hardware - minimum of a Pentium 100; 32MB RAM (64MB recommended); 100MB free disk space; CD-ROM drive; 28.8kbs modem or faster.
  • Software - Windows 95 with Service Release 1 (SR-1) installed or Windows 2000.
  • To use the optional EONI Dialup Accelerator you must run Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
Macintosh systems
  • Hardware - minimum of PowerPC or later; 32MB RAM; 100MB free disk space; CD-ROM drive; 28.8kbs modem or faster.
  • Software - Apple OS 8.0 or later.
  • To use the optional EONI Dialup Accelerator you must run Macintosh OS X v10.2 or later.
Other Operating Systems
  • If you use a UNIX or Linux system, your hardware needs to meet the minimums for Windows systems. Other operating systems are not currently officially supported and although you may be able to use other operating systems to access our services, EONI will not provide technical support beyond providing our DNS, network host addresses, and dialup phone numbers. Please contact EONI technical support at support@eoni.com for further information. Support for any Internet access or programs running on other than the Windows or Apple platforms is provided only during normal business hours of 9:00AM to 5:30PM Monday through Friday.

Your System Must Be Functioning Properly
  • Your system and its components need to be in proper operating order, and must be virus- and spyware-free.
  • The Internet is changing and the applications or programs needed to access the Internet effectively require more power (faster processors, more RAM, newer software, more hard drive space, etc.) and the trend is not slowing down. Accordingly, for your computer system to access the Internet effectively and reliably, it needs to be sufficiently "powered." EONI technical support cannot make older, slower and essentially outmoded systems work for applications and programs which they simply do not have the ability to run.
