Get online without sever software?

My sister-in-law just bought an Emachine which has AOL free trial? but she can't get online and really doesn't want to use AOL she wants to go with Peoplepc , so how could she do this when she doesn't have a cd of Peoplepc? She was with Peoplepc with her old computer.

You can download the peoplepc software on another computer and use a disk to get it to the new machine.

You can probably sign up here: https://www.peoplepc.com/signup/CustomerInfo.asp with a working pc and then use the info on her pc.

Download that for her and transfer it to the new computer with a USB flash key or a CD-R.

Getting online

Thanks all for replies! When I was typing the question I felt a bit embarrassed , but when you don't know you have to ask. I also thought when I build a new computer it won't have the software on it so I was also asking for myself as well. Another day I learned something as simple as it may be.

There are quite a few ISP's out there that do not require software for dialup, you can simply use the builtin Windows connection wizard, enter username and password and a phone number. Unfortunately, PeoplePC is not one of those.
