ISONE.NET Services & Support: Setting up Windows 3.1

Setting up Windows 3.1 Using ISONE Setup Disks

This paper describes setting up your Windows 3.1 system using ISONE
Setup Disks. There are 4 disks in the set. DO NOT USE THESE DISKS ON
A WINDOWS 95 or WINDOWS NT SYSTEM!!! To do so will DESTROY YOUR
SYSTEM SETUP!!!

Installing the software

ISONE makes no warantees as to the fitness of the programs installed in the 'ISONE Internet Connection'. These programs are shareware and appropriate fees should be paid by the user. You may use the supplied program, WS_FTP, to access the ISONE archives for other programs. The archive, called ftp.isone.com, is preloaded in WS_FTP. Other Internet applications and documentation can be found there.

Welcome! We are glad you chose INTERNET SERVICES of NEW ENGLAND as your internet services provider. This form will explain a little about your account and give you information needed to activate the enclosed disks.

Start your computer and run Windows. CLOSE ANY OPEN APPLICATIONS!!!!

When Windows is running, Pull down the 'File' menu and select 'Run'

Insert disk 1 and type 'A:\SETUP' (or B:, depending on your system) and click 'OK'

Answer the source of the installation (A: or B:) and then the destination for the
Application. The default is usually sufficient.

You will then be prompted to answer some questions about yourself and your
configuration. Please fill in the requested on this sheet to act as a worksheet:


	Customer Name           ____________________________________

	Email/Account Number:	___________  Password: _____________

	Your TCP Address:       _______________________________

ISONE will assign you an address, shown above. Some customers do not require
a fixed address. If the address specified above is 'NONE', please enter
'NONE' during installation where the address is requested.

Modem Port:, Modem Speed:

You must also specify your modem port and speed. A speed of 38400 is usually
correct. You must know the port your modem is connected to. If you do not,
please consult the MS Windows manual to verify your modem port.

Access Number: 424-6675 _ Long Distance? _ Prefix ____

If the call to ISONE from your computer is a long distance call, please check
the box for long distance required. If you require a prefix (such as using
our software in a PBX or office), check this and enter prefix (such as 9,)


	Account Type:  __ SLIP    __ PPP    __ SHELL    __ UUCP

        Upon completion of these entries, click OK and insert the
	remaining disks as prompted.

	If an error occurs, such as 'Cannot complete Installation' or
	'Cannot copy File'.  The disks you are using are BAD.  Please
	request a new set or download them off the web.

The installation has installed common internet applications. A brief description follows:

Netscape - Browse the 'World-Wide Web'. This application allows you to look at 'pages' of information

Trumpet Winsock - This is the application that dials ISONE and connects you to the internet.

Eudora - This application allows you to send and recieve Email or Electronic mail from
people all over the world. Your email address is your account name from the first sheet,
with the phrase '@isone.com' appended to it. So, if your account name is joesmith, your
EMAIL address to tell people is 'joesmith@isone.com'

FreeAgent - Keep up on over 6000 discussion groups ranging from hobbies to computers! You select the
groups you want to monitor. You can post questions to the groups or just read them.

WS_FTP - When ready, you can connect to literally thousands of computers containing FREE
software! This program will retrieve these files for you. WS_FTP comes preconfigured to
allow connection to ISONE's FTP server where hundreds of other internet applications reside.

EWAN telnet - You can login to other computers using this program. Access hundreds of online games, such as MUDs (multi-user dungeons), etc.

Setting up Trumpet Winsock

When complete, you will have a program group called 'ISONE Internet'. Open it if not already opened and start the program called 'Trumpet Winsock'.

Under the 'Dialer' menu, select the item '1. setup.cmd'.

Please verify the ISONE phone number and account name are correct and enter your password
shown on the first page of this sheet EXACTLY AS SHOWN! Upper/lower case is significant!

Under the Dialer menu, select 'Login..' The program will dial out to ISONE. When you see
the message 'PPP ENABLED' (or SLIP), you are online!!!! Leave Trumpet Winsock running.
You may minimize it though.

Troubleshooting Installation

If the modem does not dial, you may have 1 of 2 problems. The first is that you set the
wrong 'COM' port during installation. Please verify you answered the questions
correctly. If not, exit Trumpet and reinstall the software.

The other type of error involves modem usage. If any other application requires the
modem (Fax receiver is a good example), it will grab the modem when Windows
starts up. You must disable the application using the modem for Trumpet to use it.

Setting up your NewsReader (FreeAgent)

Double click the 'FreeAgent News Reader' icon, the program will load to an 'almost' blank screen.

Under the menu item 'Online', select 'Refresh New Groups List...'. A dialog box will
appear asking about how to retain certain groups. Select 'Delete extinct groups'. At
this point, FreeAgent will load the internet news/bbs groups currently available into
your computer. This process might take a while, as there are over 6000 groups available!!!

Select groups you would like to monitor by double clicking them and selecting 'Subscribe to group'.

NOTICE

When you are done using the internet, please make sure you select the 'Trumpet Winsock'
application and pull down the 'Dialer' menu, select 'Bye' from the menu. IF YOU DO NOT,
YOU WILL REMAIN ONLINE AND BE BILLED FOR THE CONNECT TIME!
