   0.  Introduction
   ================
 
   IBM's WebTalker product enables real-time, full-duplex 
   voice communication over TCP/IP networks, such as LAN or Internet.
   It is based on IBM's SoftDataPhone technology for real-time transfer
   of voice over data networks.

 
   =======================
   1.  System Requirements
   =======================
 
   a.  486 DX4-100 MHz or Pentium PC running Windows95.
   b.  MCI-compatible sound card.
   c.  A network connection through a token ring card to a LAN, or through
       a modem and SLIP/PPP to an Internet provider.
   d.  A microphone and speaker (or headphones) connected to the sound card.
    
   The software was tested on the following configurations:
   
   1.  Hardware:  100 Mhz 486/DX4 PC, 60/90/100/133 Mhz Pentium PC.
   2.  O/S:  Windows95.
   3.  Sound Cards: SoundBlaster 16, Mwave Card (see note at the
       end of this document), IBM PC 700 built-in
       audio (Microsoft Sound System compatible).
   4.  TCP/IP stacks: Windows95 (Dial-Up Networking SLIP/PPP).

   2.  Installing WebTalker
   ========================

   a.  Download WTSETUP.EXE to a temporary directory on your local hard disk.
   b.  Run WTSETUP.EXE which is a self extracting zip file. This will create
       the instalation files in your temporary directory.
   c.  Run SETUP.EXE from the temporary directory, and follow the 
       installation instructions provided.
   d.  Connect to your provider your Internet access software.  For best
       results, you should connect with V.42 compression disabled (see 
       note at the end of this document).

   Note about disabling V.42 compression
   -------------------------------------

   To get better performance from WebTalker, you should disable the V.42
   compression of the modem.  

   The following describes how to disable  V.42 compression for various
   system configurations :

   Windows95
   ---------
   1.  From the "My Computer" folder, open "Dial-up Networking".
   2.  Click the right mouse button on the "IBM Global Network" object,
       and select "Properties" from the popup menu.
   3.  In the Properties dialog box, press the "Configure" button.
   4.  In the Configure dialog box, choose the "Connection" tab.
   5.  Press the "Advanced..." button.
   6.  In the Advanced Conection Settings dialog box, uncheck the "compress
       data" checkbox.
   7.  Press "OK" on all the open dialog boxes.

   ========================================================================

   Note about using Mwave as a sound card
   --------------------------------------

   To use Mwave as the sound card in Windows95, you must install the
   Native Windows95 Mwave support (currently available in alpha version).
   Using the Windows 3.1 Mwave drivers may cause problems with this  
   application.
   
   Note that this limitation does not exist in the Mwave-dependant 
   version of WebTalker.
