 On Windows, download a SSH client (such as
 [PuTTY](http://chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html); you will need to [change PuTTY’s character set](http://utf-8.scripts.mit.edu/wiki/PuTTY) to UTF-8 to prevent occasional display glitches.)

 On a Mac, open Terminal from the Utilities Folder in Applications. Type
 `kinit <username>@ATHENA.MIT.EDU && ssh -K

+Alternatively, use a Java applet called Mindterm SSH inside any web browser. Use either [http://athena.dialup.mit.edu/ssh.html](one from MIT) or [http://www.netspace.org/ssh/](one from The Netscape Foundation Inc.). For the MIT one, the server is fixed at `athena.mit.edu`, which is  so log in and then ssh again, this time inside athena.dialup.mit.edu, to linux.mit.edu if you want to follow the rest of the instructions exactly (otherwise, you shouldn't need to ssh to linux.mit.edu):

+       athena.dialup.mit.edu login: <username>
+       <username>@athena.dialup.mit.edu's password: <password>
+       (wait a while)
+       <username>@<some-server>:~$ ssh <username>@linux.mit.edu
+       <username>@<other-server>:~$
+       
+For the Netscape one, hit `Settings > New Server...`, then enter the following and hit connect:
+
+       Server: linux.mit.edu
+       Username:<username>
+       Authentication: kbd-interact            
 
 (In all these cases, don't include the angle brackets, just replace
 <username> with your MIT username).  You will then be prompted for your
 password.  Enter it, and then carry on with running barnowl!
 
 To start barnowl, run the command `add barnowl; barnowl` at the prompt
