How to set up Earthlink for your Samsung Galaxy (Android)

History of Earthlink:

EarthLink is an American Internet service provider co-founded in March 1994 by Sky Dayton, investor Reed Slatkin and Kevin M. O'Donnell. Dayton, then only age 23, reportedly was convinced of the need for a simple, user-friendly dial-up Internet service provider (ISP) after spending an entire week trying to configure his own computer for Internet access; the firm began in Pasadena, CA.
