What Sort of Software Do I Need

 In order to take advantage of what's on the Internet you will need an MS-DOS
 based system and Windows 3.1 Installed or Windows 95.  There are commercial
 packages that you can buy that will allow you to connect to the Internet via
 our Slip lines. We are suggesting that you first try the available shareware
 products using Winsock and your choice of client software, ie. FTP,
 Netscape.

 Required Shareware for Client Software

 TWSK21F.ZIP        This is the inter-face used to connect your modem to
                    our SLIP/PPP Internet Lines.  This program when installed
                    and working is required to be minimized and running
                    during your Internet connection.  At a minimum you will
                    need to know the communication port your modem is now
                    connected to, and your Modem Port Speed.
