    e.g.: MD C:\IPHONE

3. From that directory, execute the self-extracting archive
    C:\IPHONE> IPHONE06.EXE

   A new program-manager group file will be created, with icons for The
   Internet Phone and Help file

   be suggested to you.

About The Internet Phone and IRC
--------------------------------

The Internet Phone  uses the IRC  to show the  currently on-line  users.
The  actual talk is done directly between the PC's running the  Internet
Phone, and NOT via the IRC.



Selecting an IRC server
-----------------------

In order  to use the  Internet Phone, you  must be connected  to  an IRC
server.   It is best to select the one  nearest to you, in order to  get
the best connection.

Once you're connected to the IRC, you can call any other  Internet Phone
user  that is connected to the IRC network.   There is no need for  both
of you to use the same IRC server.

Please note that  by  "nearest"  we  mean  over  the  net,  but  usually
geographically close places have a better network connection.

The  first time you connect, you can  select a server from the  Publicly
Accessible Servers.   It might not  be the closest to  you, but it  will
enable you to start talking.

Later  you can try and find a server  better suited for you.  Note  that
many  servers accept connections from specific areas.  Some are  limited
to a country, some to a specific campus.

1. Check the TroubleShooting from the Help menu in the Internet Phone.
