- If you already have a TCP/IP package
- ------------------------------------
-
- IBM does not support running TCP/IP applications across both a
- LAN and Internet connection. The supported environment allows
- either a LAN TCP/IP product to be installed -or- an Internet
- TCP/IP product to be installed. It is recommended that you
- remove the LAN TCP/IP product before you install the Internet
- TCP/IP product.

- Modem speed
- -----------
-
- The modem speed defaults to 9600 for all modems. If you have a
- 14,400 bps (or 14.4K) modem, you will want to specify a speed of
- 38400 or 57600. The maximum data rate that your modem can accept
- is usually documented in the handbook or reference material which
- accompanied your modem.
-
- If your modem is a 9600 bps modem, you should specify 9600.

- Image and audio support using Gopher
- ------------------------------------
-
- The Gopher application uses external viewing programs for image
- and audio support. By default, Gopher will use the viewing
- programs that are part of the Multimedia Viewer package in the
- BonusPak. Therefore, in order to get image and audio support in
- Gopher you will need to install the Multimedia Viewer package.
-
-
-
- DOS and Windows TCP/IP Programs
- -------------------------------
-
- You can run Windows Sockets compliant Windows TCP/IP programs
- with this package. This requires that you have Windows installed
- and that you install the WIN-OS2 support of OS/2.

-
- Restoring your Internet Connection Desktop
- ------------------------------------------
-
- In rare instances, you may find that the Internet Connection
- folder or the icons in it, are lost or scrambled. To recover,
- run the program IFOLDER from the OS/2 command line, and your
- folders and icons will be restored.
-
- If you find that some icons are still not working as they should,
- delete the Internet Connection folder and all its contents, and
- run IFOLDER one more time; then run:
-
- MAKEIDX C:\TCPIP\UMAIL\MAILSTOR\xxxxxx xxxxxx
-
- where xxxxxx is your Internet login ID. (Note that it appears
- twice.) If you installed to a directory other than C:\TCPIP, you
- need to change the command above to match.
