2. Open the Netscape folder and drag the Netscape 1.0 application onto your hard disk.
3. Open the System folder and drag the Netscape f folder, found in the Netscape 1.0 folder, into the preferences folder.
4. Close your System folder again, Open the PPP folder, and drag the files ╘PPP╒ and ╘PPP Preferences╒ and ╘Config PPP╒ onto the System folder icon. Now restart your machine.
5. Open the control panel Config PPP which you╒ll find in the control panels folder.
6. Make sure that the port name setting is correct for you modem.
7. Click the open button on the Config PPP dialogue box to dial into to our service provider Atlas.

9. The next thing you should see is the Atlas home page, which contains loads of information about browsing the Net, helper applications that allow you to download and use multimedia files.

Each month we will be printing a new password which will give readers another month╒s free Net time. To enter the password you need to click the Config button in the PPP Config dialogue box, then click Connect Script, and type the new password in the highlighted field. You can also use the config dialogue to change the dial in number. If you are calling from an office line, for example, and are required to dial 9 for an outside line, insert 9, before the dial string.
