- A dial-up account is any account
that is not permanently connected to
the internet via a dedicated ISDN or a
frame relay. These accounts are not
leased line or dedicated line
accounts.
- All dial-up accounts are entitled to
unlimited interactive access.
Interactive use is considered to be a
person engaged in the use of the
internet. Leaving the system online
and unattended is not considered
interactive.
- Users who average more than 8 hours
of continuous use a day will be asked
to curb their usage or upgrade to a
dedicated-line account.
- System abuse is strictly prohibited.
Americas Internet may terminate or
modify service immediately and may
bill for any resulting support charges
if the client engages in system abuse.
Following is a list of actions which
are defined to be system abuse. This
list is non-exclusive; any action
about which there is any doubt should
be referred to Americas Internet for
evaluation.
- Actions which constitute system
abuse include, but are not limited to:
- Attempting to circumvent user
authentication or security of a

interfere with or deny service to
any user or any host on the
Internet;
- The use of ping or email
programs to defeat the idle
timeout setting for dialup accounts. -Sending large numbers
of unsolicited mail messages (i.e.
"junk mail"); this
includes adding or attempting to
add addresses to any mailing list
without explicit positive consent
of the addressee.

accounts or providing services to
