***Note:   This document is offered for informational support only. No active technical support or document revisions will be made after the date noted at the bottom of the document.

For Windows 95 and 98
NOT for Windows 3.1x or NT

Note: Support of users who install to a custom directory location or otherwise deviate from these instructions may be limited. MOREnet documentation is written to support installation and configuration using default directories and layouts as described below. MOREnet Technical Support strongly recommends you follow these directions carefully and accurately.

Before You Begin

Before you begin configuration, be certain you have all the necessary items:

1. Familiarity with the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system.

2. Windows CD in the computer's CD-ROM drive or the Windows installation floppy diskettes ready to load as prompted.

3. An external modem is connected to the computer or an internal modem is installed.

4. The modem pool being dialed must use PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). All Project CONNECT modem pools use PAP for user authentication. No script is needed with a PAP connection.
