INSTALLATION =============== The default directory for installation is Program Files\ Starfish\Internet Utilities. After you install, you will see the InternetMeter icon displayed in your Windows 95 taskbar (also known as the status area or system tray). ====================== 2. USING INTERNETMETER ====================== The InternetMeter Inlay can be used with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or later. In addition to the Inlay itself, which appears on your Web pages, the InternetMeter includes a call log. This call log contains a record of your Web browsing and searching activities, as well as a record of your online communcations with other 32-bit TAPI and TCP/IP applications, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Fax. To use the Inlay: 1. Start Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. 2. The InternetMeter Inlay appears in the top right corner of your browser. 3. Right-click the InternetMeter Inlay and use the shortcut menu to view detailed information about your online session. For more information, right-click the InternetMeter Inlay and click the Help menu item. =============== 3. LIMITATIONS =============== Limitations include: - When you view the Modem Setup dialog for the InternetMeter, you get the modem properties for the first modem installed. You cannot change to other modems. As a workaround, use the Windows 95 Control Panel for your other modems. Note: Online and Internet service providers vary in their policies concerning their billing practices, such as in their methods for rounding up the hours spent or billing in minimum time increments. They also may change their policies. InternetMeter does not account for all such variables. Although InternetMeter will reflect the actual time spent online, that time may not correspond to your final bill from your service provider. ============================================ 4.
