Use APN "INTERNET" in your connectivity software (your modem, your connectivity suite, whatever). Configure the YF client to use "Ghana MTN" tweaks and set the connection mode to HTTP. Use IP address, not server names. Just search for servers using HTTP mode.
When using OpenVPN mode, be sure to configure DNS servers on the TAP interface as described on the OpenVPN documentation pages (see menu on the left).

Use Microsoft Windows's Telnet program
WHAT IS TELNET?
Telnet enables you to log into a remote computer and its files - research
databases, library catalogs, gopher and Archie, and games. You can also
dial up bulletin boards, connect to virtual worlds such as Moo and Mud,
and if your I.S.P. allows it, even check your email.
Why would you telnet? Because some material you wish to access may not
be available on the Web, or because you do not have access to the Web on
a particular computer, but still want to connect with Internet resources.
What you may not realize is that Windows includes Telnet software,
which is easy to configure and use. Your host computer uses TCP/IP
protocol to run the Client Telnet, negotiating a session with the other
computer (the remote host or Server Telnet). Once the terminal settings
are determined and set, you can log into the other computer and access
files or converse with others, using your keyboard rather than your mouse.
NOTE: If you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer, your telnet program
may be already configured to run when you click on a telnet address.
HOW TO TELNET, part one:
MAKING A TELNET CONNECTION
(We will use an example here which we encourage you to try: The
Internet Public Library's Lambda Moo.)
1. If you do not have the telnet information for the site you wish to
visit, obtain it first, or access it via the Web when you do have Web
access. (See recommended Telnet links and instruction pages.)
Locate the telnet address, which will usually be a series of numbers -
the preferred format (example 126.101.31.147), or a series of words
(such as buchanan.lib.ohio.edu). It may be followed by a four-letter
number, which is the port - or a port number may be listed separately.
Note the login procedure for the user name and password (if any),
and any additional procedure for connecting with your site.
If your telnet site has a Web page, consult it for further
instructions in regard to accessing and navigating this site.
NOTE: Further help is available in these Telnet Tips articles.
EXAMPLE: from the IPL Moo's web page http://www.ipl.org/moo/
"The Internet Public Library MOO is a place for a library community, a place
where people can get together and interact in real time. In this environment, the
community can help shape the surroundings and make it fit their needs. One of
the benefits of the moo is that interaction with other visitors and objects (desks,
chairs, chat etc.) creates a mood conducive to virtual community. We have formed
the framework where librarians and information seekers can gather together, talk,
and provide reference services."
The page further reads: "Use a telnet program ....to open a connection to the host
ipl.org at port 8888 or 23." However, if you use this address, you may receive an
error message which suggests trying the address 141.211.203.56 8888 instead.
The IPL web page also tells you to use the login iplmoo and to leave the
password field blank. Additional links to commands and help are provided.

Notepad is an extremely useful free alternative to Notepad, available
in both 16-bit and 32-bit (Windows) versions, with 8 notebook-style

c) a quick menu for access to your most frequently used files;
d) search and replace, for finding and replacing words (and links)
in text or html files;
e) update, for quickly reloading the current version of a file;
f) save and backup, which enables you to save the old version of the
file along with the new version.
Other features include paper (8 1/2 x11) wrap, sorting, go to, font and
font size choices, and a remove CRLF function for removing line feed
and carriage returns so that you can save system files as plain text.

5) Drag the shortcut to your desktop. If you wish, rename it Notespad.
(See Lesson four of our Windows manual for information on
creating and organizing shortcuts)
HOW TO CHANGE Windows XP SETTINGS IN ORDER
TO USE NOTESPAD AS YOUR DEFAULT TEXT EDITOR
1. In MY COMPUTER, choose tools, folder options,then file types.
2. On the file types page, scroll down the list to locate .txt files.
Select it. It is probably associated with Windows Notepad.
3. Click on the CHANGE button.
4. Select your new Notespad program from the list of programs.
5. Click o.k to choose Notespad as your default text editor.
6. Click close to close the dialog box.
Finis! Congratulations! You will really enjoy using Notespad...
Special thanks to Don Z'Boray of Bremer Corporation for
making Notespad available (and for the Net resources he
provides at NewbieNET).
NOTE : Notespad does not work well on Microsoft Windows 2000
computers. An alternative is the free editor Notetab, which is quite
similar to Notespad.
Replace your STARTUP and SHUTDOWN
screen images (bitmaps).
Do you dislike the Windows startup and shutdown screens, and wish
to replace them with your own images? Here's how:
1. On your c:\ drive (root directory), you will find the following files:
LOGO.SYS startup screen LOGOS.SYS shutdown screen
LOGOW.SYS "wait to shutdown" screen
2. COPY these files to a floppy disk before attempting to alter them. You
may want to replace them if you decide or need to use them again.
3. Despite the .sys extensions, these files are standard bitmaps (.bmp files)
Once you've copied them, change the extension on one of your copies
to .bmp and view it in Ms.Paint Check the IMAGE, ATTRIBUTES
menu and note that it is 320 pixels (pels) wide and 400 pixels high.
4. Before you replace any of these images, you need to find or create,
or crop a bitmap image to 320 x 400. Choose your image, and set the
size in IMAGE, ATTRIBUTES in Ms.Paint.
5. Save your new image to your floppy disk, naming it after the logo file
you intend to replace (using the .sys extension).
6. Now, on the c:\ drive, change the extension of the original logo file
(the one you are replacing) to .bmp. This way, you'll have two originals
in case of trouble -one on your c:\ drive and one on your floppy disk.
7. Now, move your new logo file into your root c:\ directory. The next
time you start up or shut down, you'll see your new screen.
8. If you don't like your new image, move it out of your root directory
and replace it with one of your original files (with the .sys extension).
Be sure to do this before you exit and re-enter Windows.
