\\touchtone.hlp
Almost all modern telephones have touch tone capability. If you hear \
a series of beeps when you are dialing your phone, then you have touch \
tone capability. If you hear a series of "clicks" instead, you DO NOT.
\\passWord.hlp
To prevent unauthorized access to your membership and account, a \
password is required to enter The ImagiNation Network. Never reveal your \
password to anyone. Doing so will enable that person to use your \
membership account on The ImagiNation Network at will, leaving you liable \
for whatever charges might accumulate on your account.
\\baudRate.hlp
Baud rate is a measure of how fast your computer can communicate over the telephone lines.\
Pick 1200 or 2400, depending on the capability of your computer and modem.
\\commPort.hlp
The ImagiNation Network can communicate using 1 of 4 communications ports \
assigned to the modem. Pick from Communications Ports 1-4. \
If you are unsure, start by picking Port 2.
Some people have non-standard communications ports. These ports use \
different addresses or IRQ settings. If you know you have one of these \
ports, select Non-standard Communications Port and enter the appropriate \
numbers.
\\nsCommPortAddr.hlp
If your communications port is at a normal address, the following list \
may help:
Communications Port 1 (COM1:) is at 3F8
Communications Port 2 (COM2:) is at 2F8
Communications Port 3 (COM3:) is at 3E8
Communications Port 4 (COM4:) is at 2E8
\\nsCommPortIRQ.hlp
The following is a list of IRQ settings and what they are usually used \
for:
IRQ 0 your computer's clock
IRQ 1 your keyboard
IRQ 2 video cards and older Tandy hard drives
IRQ 3 communications ports 2 and 4
IRQ 4 communications ports 1 and 3
IRQ 5 printer port 2, XT hard drives, or sound cards
IRQ 6 floppy drives
IRQ 7 printer port 1 or sound cards
IRQ 8 your computer's clock
IRQ 9 some non-standard communications ports
IRQ 10 generally unused
IRQ 11 some sound cards
IRQ 12 PS/2 mice
IRQ 13 math coprocessors and 80486 and Pentium chips
IRQ 14 hard drives in most computers
IRQ 15 generally unused
\\phoneNumber.hlp

\\prefix.hlp
Most modems will work with the the standard Modem Setup string provided \
with The ImagiNation Network.
The \
owners of certain modems must modify their Modem Setup by entering codes \
(contained in their modem user's manual) to turn on or off modem features. \
Specifically, owners of modems with error-correction or data-compression \
must turn off those features before accessing The ImagiNation Network. \
If you are not sure \
whether your modem needs a special setup, or if you don't know \
precisely what to do, please DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES, just \
press ENTER to accept the default setup. If you need help making \
changes, please call 1-800-IMAGIN1
\\directory.hlp
Please enter the directory where you would like INN installed. If you \
have multiple membership accounts with The ImagiNation Network, you may \
wish to install each account into a seperate subdirectory.
\\areacode.hlp
Please enter the 3-digit area code. You will then be given a menu of phone \
numbers to dial.
\\phonemenu.hlp
Use the cursor keys or the tab key to move to the phone number you'd like. \
If you are going to connect to The ImagiNation Network at 2400 baud, use \
the number on the right. If there is no number on the right, you must use \
the 1200 baud number. Your baud rate will automatically be changed to \
match the number you select.
