  Ready to Get Started On The Internet?

  You should be!  Even if your employer is being "frugal" or "protecting the
  corporate network from hackers", you as a professional need to get up to
  speed on the Internet.

  If you've been fretting the cost, TCP/IP, etc., there's LOTS of good news:

  o It's cheaper by the month than America On-Line, Compuserve or Prodigy.
    Earthlink, for example, gives you unlimited connect time for $19.95 a 
    month! AOL gives you five "free" hours a month for $9.95, which is
    comparable to CompuServe and Prodigy. Earthlink's got 'em beat by a
    mile because the the major on-line services charge extra for EVERY-
    thing you do on the Internet, sometimes even including E-Mail!

  o You don't need to know a lot about TCP/IP (of course, it sure helps!).

  o A 14,400 baud modem is fine for a start, and they're REALLY cheap now
    that the 33,600 baud modems are on the market. Even the 28,800 baud 
    modems are priced really nicely now!

  o It's SUPER-EASY to get started!

  Here's all you need to do:

   1. Download the TotalAccess kit for your home PC from File Area 11.

      Review Bulletin #6, "What is Shareware?". 
      
      This is a free download, and the kit contains both freeware and
      shareware. Best of all, it contains a good shareware starter version
      of Netscape Navigator. 

      The kit is large - almost 3 MB - and should take a little over an hour 
      to download (ZMODEM at 9600 baud). Your 240 minutes of daily on-line 
      time should be enough to handle this.

      There are two versions: 
        TTLAXS31.ZIP for Windows V3.x (also for V3.11 and WFW V3.11)
        TTLAXS95.ZIP for Windows/95 (may also work on NT).

      Both of these were PKZIPped directly from the TotalAccess CD-ROM
      being given away at the 1996 Comdex in Chicago. Although Eudora-
      Lite is mentioned in the README text and other places, it was not
      included on the CD-ROM.

   2. Once you have downloaded the TotalAccess kit, make an empty directory
      and unpack the TotalAccess kit archive into it using PKUNZIP, PKZIP 
      for Windows or the public domain UNZIP program (V-E-R-Y slow, but it 
      does work!).

      PKUNZIP (shareware) can be found in the PKZ204G.EXE self-extracting 
      archive in File Area 2. Download this file, make a new directory and 
      CD to it (or use a utility directory) and run the PKZ204G program - 
      the files will be unpacked to your current default disk\directory.

      PKZIP for Windows (shareware) can be found in the PKZWS201.EXE self-
      extracting archive in File Area 2. Download this file, run Windows,
      then invoke the PKZWS201.EXE program from the File Manager (V3.x) or
      Explorer (95). PKZIP for Windows will be installed complete with a
      program group and icons. Windows/95 users can make a shortcut for it
      if they wish.

   3. Run Windows and invoke the SETUP program in the directory where you
      unpacked the TotalAccess kit. Follow the prompts in the program. It
      may take you directly to the Earthlink registration program, so have 
      your credit card or checking account information ready! If you are 
      asked for a registration number, simply enter "comdex" (minus the
      quotes, of course).

  That REALLY is all there is to it! Follow the steps outlined above, and
  you'll be surfing the 'net before you know it!

  Other files in Area 11 that you'll want for Internet access:

  o EUDOR154.EXE

    This is a PKZIP self-extracting archive. We don't usually recommend 
    running a program that was downloaded unless it was contained in an
    archive; however, we can personally vouche for this one as we virus
    checked before we ran it on our development/test system.

    The self-extracting archive contains everything you need to install
    the shareware version of Eudora-Lite, V1.5.4. 

    Netscape Mail is usable, but suffers from feature-poverty. Users who
    are accustomed to All-in-1 will find it very frustrating that you can
    create a message and defer delivery, but you can't edit the deferred
    message before you send it (no equivalent to the "Created" folder).
    Eudora, on the other hand, is more like what you're accustomed to in
    All-in-1: an "inbox", an "outbox" ("queued" messages), a "wastebasket", 
    etc.

  o WS_FTP.ZIP

    Although you can FTP files directly from Netscape, it is not a true
    FTP client. This archive contains a program that lets you retrieve
    files, navigate the server directories, etc.

    The archive contains shareware.

    There are two versions: 
        WS_FTP.ZIP for Windows V3.x (also for V3.11 and WFW V3.11)
        WS_FTP32.ZIP for Windows/95 (may also work on NT).
