Individual (Dial-Up) Accounts

Non-dedicated Dial-up Connection

a. Dial-up is attended access and requires the physical presence of the account holder while the account is connected to the Internet. Pings, bots, auto-checkers to keep connections running or the use of other programs (such as ICQ or other chat programs) that violate this reasonable use agreement are prohibited, as well as the use of software to stay logged on while not actively using services. Repeatedly exceeding eight (8) hours of daily usage on dial-up may constitute "excessive use," and accounts which remain idle for more than twenty (20) minutes while connected may be disconnected without notice.

b. Non-dedicated dial-up accounts are for individual use only and may not be used for any private or personal business or gain or for any unsolicited or commercial advertising. Account holders may not run or operate servers of any type, or provide network services, from dial-up accounts.

• InterStar dialup accounts are intended for use by an individual. Multiple logins are prohibited, except as allowed by an InterStar-provided account.
  
• InterStar does not offer shell accounts. Attempts to use shell type accounts to circumvent the 'idle daemon' or time charges accounting, or attempts to run programs by any method, are prohibited.
  
• InterStar FTP accounts operate on shared resources. Customers are prohibited from excessive consumption of resources, including CPU time, memory, disk space, and session time. The use of resource-intensive programs which negatively impact other system users or the performance of InterStar systems or networks is prohibited, and InterStar staff may take action to limit or terminate such programs.
  
• Password security is the responsibility of the individual user. Good passwords should be a minimum of six characters long, contain at least one number or symbol, and are not based on any dictionary word or common name. Customers may not share passwords or accounts with others. If a customer suspects that their password integrity has been challenged, then it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to take corrective measures toward securing a new password.
