-
- To connect your PC to the Internet, you will need a Windows PC, Internet access
- software, a modem,
- and an account with an Internet service provider.
- You already have two of those components,
- a Windows PC and NetManage's software.
- <p>
- You will also need a
- standard dial-up modem. The faster the modem runs, the better your
- performance
- will be. We recommend using a modem that is either 14.4 or 28.8 k bits per second
- but 9,600 bit per second modems will also work.

-
- The last item you need to complete the connection is an
- account with an Internet service provider.
- Service providers have a high speed link to the Internet
- and can provide
- you with a phone
- number which will connect your PC to the Internet.
- Your service
- provider will also supply you with an e-mail address and they will
- maintain
- your electronic mailbox.
- <p>
- To open an account with an Internet service provider, you can either
- contact one yourself or
- use the Instant Internet application that came with your
- NetManage
- software. For details on how to use Instant Internet and the services it provides, see the
- next section.

-
- Instant Internet
- provides you with an online list from which you
- can choose an Internet service provider, sign up with them, and
- automatically configure your PC for Internet access in just a few minutes.
- To use Instant Internet, double
- click on the application icon.
- <p>

-
- If you do not want to use Instant Internet because you already have
- an Internet account,
- or you do not want to use any of the providers listed, you can use
- the NetManage Custom application to obtain Internet access.
- Look for details on how to use Custom in the Internet Chameleon manual.
