- 1. Portal has changed their network access
- dialog. This help guide reflects the latest configuration.
- Notably the SLIP.INI entry for older versions of Chameleon
- will need to be changed in order to connect.

- substitution, so users should enter a dummy IP address of
- 1.1.1.1
-
- 3. Portal has a new service that allows users to connect via
- SprintNet. The second interface entry (portalsp) in the
- portal.cfg pre-configured custom file should be used for that
- service. It's use is documented at the end of this note.
