Mr. Internet
*** Internet Nebraska Broadband ***
We at Internet Nebraska are in our twelfth year of providing high-speed
connectivity to businesses and individuals across the state. If you're
finding your Web pages come too slowly, or are maybe considering some
exciting new activity on the 'Net that will require faster access, we're
ready to help. We offer LOTS of broadband, and here are a few of the
kinds. With any of these faster access plans you get at least five free
e-mail addresses (excluding IN Speed Dial), a free personal Web site,
unlimited toll-free tech support, and free access to our hotspot network
(including access at the Lincoln Airport) for when you're on the go.
DSL
---
We offer DSL everywhere in Alltel or Qwest territories where the phone
company facilities make it possible. From a very affordable 256 kbps
download all the way to 3.0 Mbps and beyond, our DSL is competitively
priced and always offered at an introductory $9.95/month to new
customers, and to existing customers upgrading from dial-up. If you need
static addresses or other special features, we can do that, too. For
more information on our DSL, see http://www.inebraska.com/dsl/ .
Cable
-----
We also offer cable Internet access to individuals anywhere in the
Time-Warner Nebraska service area. Our introductory rate is only
$29.95/month, and our regular rate is great, too! For more information
on our cable Internet access, see http://www.inebraska.com/cable/ .
Wireless
--------
If you live in or near Valentine, O'Neill, Tilden, or Norfolk, we can
offer you wireless Internet access. We even have available a free basic
installation package with no equipment to buy! Take a look at
http://www.inebraska.com/wireless/ for a high-speed solution where DSL
and cable may not be available.
TLS / T1s / DS3s / Server Colocation / Web Site Hosting
--------------------------------------------------------
If your business needs a more direct, "broaderband" connection to the
Internet, we offer it. Our customer base includes health care
organizations, libraries, phone companies, and manufacturing plants
across the state. If you'd like to visit about what we can do for you,
give us a call at 434-8680 in Lincoln, or 800-438-4638 anywhere else.
For information on our standard Web hosting packages, see
http://www.inebraska.com/webhostpricing.html .
Dial-Up Acceleration
--------------------
Perhaps none of these ways to increase your speed looks right for you,
and dial-up is how you expect to continue connecting. For only $2/month,
our Internet Nebraska Speed Dial can make a great difference in how
quickly you surf the 'Net. It's easy to install, too. See
http://www.inebraska.com/speeddial/ for details.
We're proud of these services, but what makes us feel best is taking
friendly, reliable care of the other folks in our state. We're locally
owned and operated, so our business relationships are special to us.
*** Huskers on the Internet ***
Most Internet Nebraska customers live in Nebraska and it's probably safe
to say that most Nebraskans are fans of Nebraska athletics, especially
Husker football. The Internet is loaded with web sites for Husker fans,
and here's a list of some of the best.
The very first site a Husker fan should visit is Huskers.com at
http://www.huskers.com . This is the official home of athletics for the
University of Nebraska. All Husker sports are represented here including
football, men's and women's basketball, baseball, women's volleyball, and
every other sport the university fields. You can read press releases,
updates on the construction at Memorial Stadium and other facilities, and
look up team schedules. You can even purchase tickets for the games.
Visitors who have a high-speed Internet connection can view video clips,
listen to streaming audio, and watch live events. Some features require
a subscription, but every now and then a game may be broadcast live for
free.
You will also find a link on Huskers.com to Coach Callahan's personal
site, http://www.CoachCallahan.com . You'll get a glimpse into the man
who has led the football team into the new and exciting world of the
forward pass. Most interesting is the Coach's Corner column, where Coach
Callahan gives us his personal thoughts on the football team, and
direction in which the team is headed.
Your next stop should be Huskerpedia, http://www.huskerpedia.com .
Huskerpedia is a treasure trove of news and information about the
Huskers. The site is updated daily with links to news articles from
around the Internet. The site focuses primarily on the most popular
Husker sports: football, baseball, basketball, and women's volleyball.
Huskerpedia boasts an impressive collection of historical info including
rosters past and present, team records, bowl records, game scores, and
more. There is also a bulletin board for those wanting to chat with
other Husker fans.
Another fantastic site is Huskers Illustrated
http://www.huskersillustrated.com . Part of the Rivals.com recruiting
network, Huskers Illustrated is geared primarily to those who follow
football recruiting, but is actually much more than that. Much of the
site, though not all, is premium content, but for those who subscribe,
you'll find some of the best coverage of Husker football on the
Internet. Pay particular attention to the Premium message board, Red Sea
Scrolls, where the most up-to-date news on the Huskers can be found,
including daily practice reports, interviews with players and staff, and
more recruiting news than one should be able to assimilate in a day's
time.
Finally, for anyone who is interested in college athletics in general,
visit the NCAA's website, http://www.ncaasports.com . Every sport in
college athletics is represented here. The most impressive feature is
the massive amount of team and individual statistics recorded and
retained. Any record, or any measurable aspect of a sporting event, is
recorded and made available for public consumption.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, as there are countless other sites
devoted to the Huskers. Go Big Red!
*** Jeff's Collectibles & Sportswear -- Advertisement ***

Husker-lover than collectibles from Jeff's Collectibles & Sportswear.

*** New DSL Developments ***
We've been proud of our long history of not raising prices as our
competition has, and we're going even further. We're *cutting* prices on
our most popular DSL plans for those willing to commit to a year of
terrific service. Enjoy a $1/mo discount on DSL Lite, a $3/mo discount
on 1.5M DSL, a $5/mo discount on 3.0M DSL, or a $7/mo discount on 6.0M
service -- just by visiting the following link and signing up for another
year of service: http://www.inebraska.com/dsl/commitment.html
You heard right. 6.0M DSL is now available from Internet Nebraska. Give
our help desk a call for details, or visit http://www.inebraska.com/dsl
where you'll find everything you need to order an upgrade.
Valentine is finally getting DSL! If you live in that area, and you've
been looking for a land-based broadband solution, we have you covered.
And, again, we even have a reduced price on a one-year contract!
*** Mr Internet ***
Q: I use Outlook Express to check email. The problem is, I have one
computer and more than one email account to check. How can I set this
up?
A: Outlook Express lets you create different identities for situations
such as this. By default, Outlook Express is set up with a main
identity. To add new identities, click on File, go down to Identities,
then click Add New Identity. A window will pop up asking for your name
and you'll just enter the name of the person using that email account
then click OK.
Before trying to configure the identity, you must switch to it. To do
this, click on File, and then click on Switch Identity. Select the
identity you want from the list and click OK. To finish setting up the
account, click on Tools and then click on Accounts. In the window that
comes up, click Add, then select Mail. This will pull up a wizard that
will walk you through setting up the account.
Once you have all of your email accounts setup, all you have to do to
check your mail is to switch to your identity that you want to check and
then click the send/receive button.
*** Schaefer's TV & Appliance Center - Advertisement ***
