INSTRUCTIONS AND DISCLAIMER

Settings Screen Fields Instructions

The Setup Screen is where you enter
pertinent data for processing your
credit information and verifying
any fraudulent use of credit card
information.  Please make certain
that the information entered is the
same as the information your card
issuer has on file for you.

COM PORT

In this screen you are also asked
to make some settings selections to
facilitate your connection.  The Com
Port selection tells the program
where to look for your modem. If you
do not know your Com Port simply
select each one sequentially until
you make a successful connection.
(Most modems are on Com Port 2)

PREFIX

The Dialing Prefix is to enter any
numbers or dialing codes you may need
when dialing out. (ie. the code to disable
call waiting in your area). The program is
already coded with either the US
nationwide (800) number or a local area
phone number for international users.
Use the dialing prefix to enter any
codes necessary to disable call waiting
or enable an outside line for users on a
PBX.  For international users enter
the international dialing prefixes to
make a direct call to the US.  The
international version is coded with
a direct dial phone number
1(xxx)xxx-xxxx
enter the prefix necessary for making
an international phone call to the US.

RAM DRIVE

The RAM Drive selection and the Modem
Type are the final connection
configuration selections.  The modem
init strings are organized by manufacturer
and modem model.  If your model is not
present on the list select another and
try it, or select one of the generic
initialization located at the beginning of
the list.  If your connection fails or
you get the message failure to initialize
modem, exit and try another.

The RAM Drive is important for improving
video transfer, performance, and in some
cases a connection.  A connection can
fail for some computers if a RAM Drive
is not present. When installing the
program you are prompted with the RAM
Drive installer for either Windows 3.1
or Win 95.  You must reboot your
computer for the RAM Drive to take effect.
The RAM Drive will appear in your
File Manager or under MY COMPUTER
as a small chip icon.  In the settings
screen of your program select your RAM
Drive to tell the program where it
will be swapping the video data.  If
the RAM Drive displaces a CD-ROM drive
or other drive you can remove the RAM
Drive by typing "rem" next to the line
it appears on in your config.sys file.
See the FAQ list on the web site for more
details.

PASSWORD

The Password Field allows you to save
and recall your personal information
for processing your transaction.  If
you have to make changes to your
information simply enter your program
and at the password screen select the
Setup button.  This will take you to
the setup screen.  When in the setup
screen click your cursor in the Password
field,  type in your password and hit
the return key. The current customer
data will appear in the appropriate fields.
Please note the Password field is case
sensitive.  Make your changes and select
the Proceed button.  If you choose to
save this password It can be used again
to recall your data.  If you forget
your password, simply retype your information
and save it with a current password.
If you have no changes to your information
or setup, simply type in your password
on the Password entry screen and select
Proceed.
