If you use a SLIP connection from CCIT you will need to get a copy of the Netscape software. This is not currently provided by CCIT but Netscape maintains this site on the web where you can download the latest version of the browser as well as get answers to your Netscape questions. If you acquire this software separately, you will need to load and configure it yourself. There are software packages available, like Internet in a box, that do most of this configuring for you. If you are not UA staff or faculty, or if your department will not agree to sponsor your SLIP account then you will need to sign up with an Internet provider who offers a graphical web interface.
Installation is usually very easy.
Prices and packages vary, so shop around. For PC users, a 486 with 8mb RAM is recommended. Must have Windows 3.1 or higher. For Macintosh users, System 7 or higher is recommended.
