You have indicated that you are installing this CompuServe software, onto a PC that is 
connected to a Local (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN).

Part of the CompuServe 3.x installation process on PC's using Windows 95 requires the 
installation or configuration of Microsoft Dial-Up Networking. This Windows 95 component 
provides TCP/IP (Winsock) connectivity for modem or ISDN connections. 

CompuServe 3.x requires a 32-bit Windows TCP/IP (Winsock) connection, such as 
Microsoft Dial-Up Networking, to connect to CompuServe. 

Installing or configuring Microsoft Dial-Up Networking on your PC, could potentially conflict 
with your existing LAN or WAN installation or configuration, especially if this currently 
supports TCP/IP connectivity.

Before you proceed with the installation of CompuServe 3.x onto your PC, we strongly 
recommend that you contact your Internal Systems Department, Network Support 
Department or LAN Administrator, to confirm that the installation of CompuServe 3.x
will not conflict or cause problems with the correct operation of your LAN or WAN.

Failure to ensure compatibility may cause your existing LAN installation or 
configuration to stop working correctly, and potentially cause problems for other 
local users.

If you are in any doubt that your PC can support connections with CompuServe 3.x, or 
concerned that the installation may cause problems, do not continue at this time.

LOCAL AND WIDE AREA NETWORK CONNECTIONS :

You may be able to use CompuServe 3.x to connect to CompuServe via your LAN, if this 
supports TCP/IP connectivity and also has full Internet Access via a suitable gateway 
connection. 

However, if this Internet Gateway has security restrictions, such as a Firewall, or uses a 
Proxy Server, you may not be able to connect to CompuServe.

You should verify that your LAN can support such connections to CompuServe with your 
Internal Systems Department, Network Support Department or LAN Administrator 
before you proceed with installation.
