W i n N E T M a i l (TM) Copyright © 1992 by Computer Witchcraft, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Computer Witchcraft, Inc. Post Office Box 210441 San Francisco, CA 94121-0441 Telephone: (415) 752-2477 Fax: (415) 752-8971 Internet Mail: winnet@win.net CompuServe Mail: 76130,1463 (READ-1ST.TXT) WinNET Mail (TM) is a Windows 3.0/3.1 application for sending and receiving Electronic Mail with the world-wide Internet and Usenet networks using just your Windows system and a modem. The connection with the Internet and Usenet is provided through Computer Witchcraft's computer system providing WinNET (SM) service. COSTS OF USING WinNET MAIL The WinNET Mail software is provided to you free of charge for the purpose of connecting with the WinNET system. The WinNET system is your connection with the Internet and Usenet networks and usage is billed to you on a connect time basis. The WinNET connect time charges are billed at the rate of $8.00 per hour with a monthly minimum of $9.95 per month. There is a per account minimum charge of $9.95. Accounts created and then ended shortly thereafter will be billed at minimum $9.95. Unlike many on-line services and bulletin boards, you are only connected to WinNET for just long enough to send or receive any pending E-Mail at speeds as fast as your modem will go. This results in connection times of typically 1 to just a few minutes. In our experience, customers average 1.25 hours of connect time per month or just $10.00 in charges. See TERMS.TXT for full details. SETTING UP WinNET MAIL ON YOUR SYSTEM STEP 1. From the Windows program manager File menu, Run the SETUP.EXE program supplied with the WinNET distribution. Use the More Information button to get more information on each screen. STEP 2. Run the CWI Account Setup program (ACCOUNT.EXE). This will ask you for billing and credit card information. The program will call the Computer Witchcraft WinNET server and submit your account request. After a one minute pause, the program will call back to verify that the account was accepted. All account requests will be accepted unless the System Name that you choose under SETUP is already taken by another WinNET customer. If the account request is not successful, you will need to re-run SETUP, select a different System Name, and re-run the account program. PROBLEMS WITH WinNET SETUP The most likely source of problems that you may have with WinNET Mail is the SETUP Communications Parameters: 1. Make sure that the COM port is set to the port that your modem uses. 2. Make sure that the interface speed it not set faster than your modem can handle. 3. Verify that the telephone number being dialed will work correctly from your facility and area. The telephone number of the WinNET server is: (415) 752-9360 Which is located in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. If you are local to San Francisco, use simply 752-9360. You may also need to add digits to obtain an outside line or for credit card dialing. You can verify that these settings work for your system by using the Windows Terminal program. You can also check that the modem strings supplied on the Communications Parameters screen work with you modem as well. Please see TROUBLE.TXT for more possibilities.
