The registration process is very simple. Follow the on-line instructions. I-Link's software will run on
most machines. If you have problems using the registration software, check you system for the
following requirements:
CPU: 386 or better
Software: Windows 3.1 or higher
Modem: 14400 baud or faster
Disk space: 3 megabytes
Memory: 6 megabytes
Serial Chip: 16550 UART (you can check your chip type using the MSD DOS utility)
If you have DIFFICULTY, the following HINTS may help:
1) MODEMS: Make sure your modem is plugged in and powered on. Select your modem or a
compatible/default modem from the pull-down menu. For example, select Default 14400 baud
modem if you have an unlisted 14400 baud modem.
2) USER IDs: If your choice of user ID is in use, a window will appear and ask you to make a
different choice. Please enter new choices in the choice 1 through choice 3 boxes. Then select register
again. HINT: You will have better luck selecting a nickname than your actual name. Some people
prefer the first letter of their first-name followed by their last. For example, John Smith would have an
e-mail address of jsmith . If John was an avid fisher, his ID might be gonefishing. To ensure that
various systems understand your e-mail addresses, do not use punctuation in your ID. After you
register, you will receive a message telling you which User ID was available. PLEASE RECORD
YOUR USER ID when it is returned to you. THIS IS YOUR INTERNET E-MAIL ADDRESS.
3) DIALING PREFIX/SUFFIX: These fields contain what the modem should dial before (prefix)
or suffix (after) dialing the local number. For example, office phone systems might require a '9.' If you
have call-waiting, consider using '*70' to cancel call-waiting which can interrupt your connection.
4) MOSAIC: Mosaic is a graphical way to browse the Internet. We highly suggest that you
download this program. It is an essential tool, allowing you to gain access to the resources on the web.
This package is free of charge with your first month's subscription to I-Link. To use Mosaic, you need
to download the software from our server (see I LINK Shop screen). Helpful hints for using Mosaic:
a) To run Mosaic, double-click the Spyglass Mosaic icon in the I LINK Program Group.
b) Click on blue items to load new sites. After visiting a site, any links to that site will change to red,
telling you where you have been. To change these colors, go to the 'Edit' menu and select 'Preferences,'
then either 'Link Color' or 'Visited Links.'
c) Click on the Left and right arrows in the upper left hand part of the screen to move forward and
backward between sites you have visited.
d) When you find an area you like, you may add it to your Hot List by selecting the Add Current to
Hotlist option from the Navigate menu. This will allow you to quickly return to this area in later
sessions.
e) The Help menus in Mosaic are very easy to understand. To get a better understanding of concepts,
terminology, and ideas about ways to use Mosaic, select the 'Mosaic Help Page' under the 'Help' menu.
5) COPYING THE I LINK SOFTWARE: You can easily (and at no additional cost) make a
copy of your I Link software for a second machine (laptop, work machine, etc.) You can also make a
disk for a friend and receive valuable savings on your I Link subscription. See the I Link Shop screen
(under the I LINK icon)..
