* WHAT IS THE INTERNET AND WHO IS IN CHARGE OF IT?
The Internet is a hybrid network connecting businesses and
individuals all over the world. The Internet provides the ability to
share information, swap ideas, download files, advertise services and
send and receive electronic mail messages around the globe. No one
organisation is in charge of the Internet and it is more the case of
many different networks connected together via communication
equipment. Major telephone & communication companies are responsible
for satellite links and across the channel solutions. There are also
many smaller players in the Internet and hypothetically speaking it is
a case of "if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours ". There are also
special government and third party organisations making sure
software and hardware is written and designed to a particular
standard, and that techniques used to communicate conform to
certain legislation so that different manufactured products are
compatible with each other. The Internet originated in the early 1980s
in the US defence funded research community. The Internet has grown
considerably in recent years and currently provides connectivity for
30 million users in 150 countries. In the USA alone there are 32,000
networks connected to one of the major backbones which handles a
high percentage of Internet traffic. All You Need Is A PC, Telephone
Line And A Modem. If you don't have a modem see the application form
for competitive pricing on modems. A modem provides the ability to
connect a computer to a telephone line through a serial data cable.

* PACKAGE 1 * Internet Mail (worldwide communication).
*************
Electronic Mail provides individuals the ability to send and receive
data, files and information world wide from the comfort of a PC, and
is one of the major reasons why the Internet is so popular today. In
1993 it was estimated that there were over 30 million mailboxes in
the US and Europe. When it comes to personal communication or
business, if you are in need of an extra playing card, having your
own Internet mail address could be the answer.
OLX Off-Line Express for Windows or DOS , Electronic Mail Management.
We will supply you with a full packaged Off-Line mail reader for DOS or
Windows which enables you to download your messages, disconnect and read
them at ease without worrying about clocking up your phone bill. You can
also take your time and create replies or new messages while off-line, and
then it's a case of simply dialling up to send.
Having your own mail address is also a way of being in the office even when
you're miles away. We have designed the system so that no technical knowledge
is needed and even a novice will be sending and reading mail in little time.
You can have an individual address which is assigned to your name,
your.name@netbureau.com or in the company name or relating to an information
help line or sales division, Company. Sales@netbureau.com. We can even
arrange it so you have several addresses.
OLX mail reader for Windows walks it's talk and talks it's walk. Let OLX
keep you company while you manage your e-mails. Use the default files
supplied or add your own and assign wav sounds to more than 20 events,

Bureau De Knowledge (BDK). A Selection of Internet Services, plus various
other useful services. Many people find the Internet offers a bewildering
array of options and can only be likened to joining the M25 without any road
signs or maps to guide you. You end up going round and round in circles not
quite knowing what you are looking for and who you should be talking to.
There is no need for you to travel the world and back, or search the Internet
for resources. Knowledge Solutions has done the work for you and has selected
two of the most popular services available through the Internet, E-Mail &
Internet Discussion Groups, plus various other services, allowing you to
tap into the power all under the one roof. Choose from 100 hand picked news
groups. One Click Access or Issue a single command through DOS. Weather
reports and more.
We currently stock over 3GB of the latest shareware applications and
utilities, plus games, drivers, programming tools and software updates.
The power, quality and features of some of these applications you will find
astonishing. In the past finance and business applications had to be written
to specification by a software house or development teams at a cost greater
than the average pocket. Never before has there been such a convenient way
to purchase applications at the fraction of the cost of commercial software.
The concept of shareware allows you to freely copy and distribute files.
If you find the software of use and wish to continue using it, then you may
purchase an agreement from the author. Rest and play! Even God took one day
off. Arcade, adventure, flight simulation, strategy, kids and adults puzzles
games. Clip-art in various formats including GIF, BMP, JPEG and more. Music
