===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Note: This file assumes that you are planning to use WinNET
Communications, Inc., as your Internet/Usenet service provider. If
that is not the case, please read the file ALT.TXT instead of this file
for introductory information. More information is included in the text
files in the distribution package.
C o n t e n t s
What is WinNET?
What you need to Run WinNET
Costs of Using WinNET Mail
W h a t i s W i n N E T ?
WinNET Mail (TM) is a Windows 3.1/Windows 95 application for sending
and receiving Electronic Mail and News articles with the world-wide
Internet and Usenet networks using just your Windows system and a
modem. The connection with the Internet and Usenet is provided through
WinNET Communications' computer system providing WinNET (SM) service.
WinNET Communications provides a Web and FTP site for all accounts and
ISDN and 28.8v.34 access for no extra charge.
W h a t i s TCP/IP?
TCP/IP is software that allows you to establish a direct connection to
the Internet network so that you can use client software that requires
interactive access to network resources. Examples of such client
software would include World Wide Web (WWW) browsing software such as
Mosaic or NETSCAPE, on-line FTP programs, Internet Relay Chat, Internet
Talk Radio, Gopher, Telnet, and so forth. These programs are not
included in the electronic distribution of WinNET, but public domain
versions of various Internet applications are available (free of
charge) through WinNET Communications once you set up an account. In
fact, you can start downloading these programs as soon as you get
connected -- we provide installation support to make setting up TCP/IP
and various applications completely automatic.
WinNET's TCP/IP software is a special, high-performance version of Core
System's highly regarded Internet Connect product. When you set up
WinNET, the TCP/IP software is transparently installed and set up to
operate using PPP (Point-to-Point) protocol for serial (modem)
communications.
W h a t y o u n e e d t o R u n
1. Intel 80386/486/Pentium system with a minimum of 2 Mbytes RAM.
2. Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows 95, OR Microsoft NT OR OS/2.
3. A Hayes compatible modem.
C o s t s o f u s i n g W i n N E T M a i l
The WinNET Mail & News (TM) software, Core TCP/IP protocol stack, and
WWW browser installation software is distributed freely for the purpose
of connecting with the WinNET service. There is no charge for the
software as long as it is used for this purpose.
The WinNET service is billed on a monthly flat rate
basis of
$19.95 per month.
This provides service for up to
four (4) connect hours per month.
Usage beyond the first four hours is billed at the rate
of
$5.40 per hour.
Service is billed on a calendar month basis. The flat rate and the
corresponding four connect hours are prorated in the first and last
calendar month of service.
If you dial the direct access number (502) 589-4131 you get
twenty (20) hours for $19.95 and
$1.00 per hour thereafter.
Canadian Toll-Free access is $19.95 for one and one-half(1.5)
hours and $15.40 per hour thereafter.

===== Installation =====================================
S e t t i n g u p W i n N E T o n y o u r S y s t e m
Following are instructions for setting up WinNET Mail on your system.
If you received WinNET from CompuServe or some other electronic
bulletin board, create a temporary directory and copy the wnmail.zip
file to this directory. Run the pkunzip program (commonly available
shareware from PKWARE) to unzip the wnmail.zip file in this directory.
From the Windows program manager File menu, or directly from the
Window's File Manage program, Run the SETUP.EXE program supplied with
the WinNET distribution. Use the More Information button to get more
information on each screen. This program will also set up an Internet
Account for you with WinNET Communications Inc.'s Internet Service.
This will ask you for billing and credit card information. The program
will call the WinNET Communications WinNET server and submit your
account request. After a one minute pause, the program will call back
to verify that the account was accepted.
All account requests will be accepted unless the System Name that you
choose under SETUP is already taken by another WinNET customer. If the
account request is not successful, you will need to re-run SETUP,
select a different System Name, and re-run the account program.
U p g r a d i n g f r o m a n
e a r l i e r v e r s i o n o f W i n N E T
The instructions for upgrading a previous version of WinNET are
basically the same as outlined in the above steps describing a new
installation. When you are asked to specify the directory where
WinNET should be installed, specify the same directory where your old
copy of WinNET was installed. This will cause the setup program to
overwrite the old WinNET files with the files from the new version.
Your old setup parameters will be detected and appear as the defaults
in the setup process.
NOTE: Do not update WinNET with a earlier version of WinNET. Always use
the same version as installed or a later version.
SPECIAL EXCEPTION: Version 2.50 and later of the sharware WinNET will
recognize WinNET Plus 3.0 (and later versions) and will not overwrite
the executables and will just install the online software and related
files.
P r o b l e m s w i t h W i n N E T S e t u p
The most likely source of problems that you may have with WinNET Mail
is the SETUP Communications Parameters:
1. Make sure that the COM port is set to the port that your modem
uses.
2. Make sure that the interface speed it not set faster than your
modem can handle. (28.8 v.fc modem owners please see node.txt)
3. Verify that the telephone number being dialed will work correctly
from your facility and area.
The telephone number of the WinNET server is:
(800) 800-1482
or our local number:
(502) 589-4131
Which is located in Louisville Kentucky, U.S.A. If you are local to
Louisville, use simply 589-4131. You may also need to add digits to
obtain an outside line or for credit card dialing.
You can verify that these settings work for your system by using the
Windows Terminal program. You can also check that the modem strings
supplied on the Communications Parameters screen work with you modem as
well.
See TROUBLE.TXT for more information.
