Description
-----------
VitalConnect is a combined Program Launcher and Internet Connection
utility. It is designed to be completely user-friendly and idiot-proof!
It is the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to @{"connect" LINK Fullset} to the Net!
Requirements
------------
You have to have the following to use VitalConnect
All seven programs MUST be in the `VitalConnect` directory!
IDEAL
o AmigaOS 2.0 (37) or higher
o An AMIGA.....`020 or better
o A Modem.........the faster the better but not less than 14,400bps
o A 256 colour Workbench (Purely asthetic for the program, but necessary for the Net really!)
RECOMMENDED
Amiga `040/`060, graphics card, 56k Voice/Fax Modem, Hypercom fast serial port and a 15"or bigger Monitor!
................................................. _
o Miami V3.0(Demo) (included!) |
|
o Dopus (at least 4.1 (given away on Coverdisks)) |
|
o VoyagerNG (Demo) (Coverdisks) |
----- All these progs should be registered if
o AmiFTP (Demo)(included!) | you use them regularly!....
|
o YAM Mailer (included) |
|
o Archiver(Demo) (included) _|
o AmIRC (30day Demo)(Then if you use it you should register!)
o......Most of these programs utilise MUI V3.6 or higher!...........
Installation
------------
`VitalConnect Install` (requires Commodore's Installer), will
automatically take care of all installation necessary to make the
program `plug`n`play` and make it automatically start it`s NetLink
dock upon `REBOOT`!
The Voyager demo and your version of Dopus should be installed or
dragged into the `VitalConnect` directory now on your hard drive!
Thats all there is to it!
Usage
-----
"Click and Play." The buttons are self-explanatory in the `Main`
window and the icons to the left of those buttons are transferred
to the `NetLink` window to accomplish the same functions!
Both `Close` buttons in and on the `NetLink` window will bring up
the `Main` window, therfore, you can only quit VitalConnect completely
from the `Main` window!
The `SetUp` button brings up `Miami.Int` where Miami must be
configured to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Of course, in the
FULL `VitalConnect Package`, Miami, AmiFTP and YAM will be pre-configured
to your ISP, e-mail addresses and your OWN Website designed by
SulliTech Online to your specifications.
The FULL package is TRULY `Plug`n`Play Surfin` time!
You will just click on `VitalConnect Install` then `REBOOT`, then all you
have to do is click on `CONNECT`! Instantly on the Net, Instantly ready to
collect your e-mails! Instantly able to upload and download to and from
YOUR VERY OWN WEBSITE!, Aminet and others!
Demo Limitations
This demo is only limited by it`s inability to utilise the `NetLink`
window. This limitation will be removed with a keyfile upon payment of
the £10 Shareware fee (Dead Cheap!)!

History
-------
Version 1.4: Initial Release (July 15, 1998)
Uploaded to AMINET
Because there had to be a cheaper, faster, easier way!
It occurred to me that not everyone knew their Amiga inside out, and
that they just used it for enjoyment but, at the same time, would
dearly like to `Surf the Net`, "if only they didn`t need to know
anything about how to do it!"
`VitalConnect` solves this problem! The user need do little or nothing
to get on the Net!
