CompuServe Messages

John, <<However, is there some kind of AmiTCP "screen", with menus, gadgets, etc., or does it just open a window for communicating?>> When I first started this Internet thing I couldn't understand what all of these little subprograms did. Fortunately A friend of mine at work had a better understanding of what was going on. The bottom line is AmiTCP and PPP regulate the transfer of data between computers. If you have gotten as far as the complete window in the corner of your workbench screen you have sucessfully beaten the "big dog". This means your computer and the host server have agreed to swap information. From this point it is time to start a program such as Alynx, AMosaic,Gopher,Thor or something else to do the user interactive stuff. As far as hanging up, double click on the stopnet icon and answer yes to both the questions. The interinstall script has already worked out that deal. Hope this helps Jim
