Connecting
Open 'Navigator' program group and double click
on 'Shortcut to Green Apple' icon. Type in your login name and password
(remember, both login name and password are case sensitive). You may put a
checkmark in the 'Save password' box.
If this is your first time connecting, hit
'Dial Properties' button. If you have call waiting and Ameritech is your
carrier, put a checkmark beside 'This location has call waiting' and in the
box labeled 'To disable it, dial:', put '*70'.
If you have call waiting and Verizon (GTE) is
your carrier, you will need to check with them to find out how you disable
call waiting on single call basis (Verizon doesn't seem to have standardized
on call waiting disablement feature in this area: some places will use '#70,',
others cannot be disabled whatsoever).
On the line labeled 'The phone system at this
location uses:', place a dot beside 'Tone dialing' if you have tone dialing
feature; otherwise place a dot beside 'Pulse dialing' if you have pulse
dialing feature. Hit the 'OK' button.
Hit 'Connect' button. This will dialup to Green
Apple.
Once the modems connect, the message 'Verifying
user name and password' will appear. If everything has been setup correctly
and your login name and password have been entered correctly, the screen will
turn into a status window with the connection speed and a time counter on it -
your connection to the Internet is up and working! You may now minimize the
status window and start one of your Internet applications such as Netscape
Navigator.
If this is your first time running Netscape,
you should register it. While connected to Green Apple, select Help >>
Registration Information and provide the necessary details for registration.
When you are finished with your Internet
session, close all your Internet applications, bring back the status window
and hit 'Disconnect' button.
Note: Please read the booklet
that comes with your Personal Edition. It contains much useful information and
is the best starting point for using Netscape and beginning your Internet
exploration.
