You can access America Online and Compuserve by dialing through
Internet Texas. To access each service you will need the latest version of
the software for each. For America Online you need version 2.5 or later, and
for Compuserve you need Compuserve Information Manager v. 1.4 or later.
You must, of course, have an existing account with
each service or be willing to establish a new account. By connecting through
Internet Texas you will be able to bypass long distance charges and low
modem speed restrictions, but you must be a paying customer of each
respective company.
To connect through AOL, you need to choose TCP/IP as
the NETWORK under the SETUP button.
In CIM, you need to choose WINSOCK as the connector.
Then dial in using winsock, launch CIM, and click CONNECT. Then you'll log
into Compuserve from over the Internet!
The general procedure is to dial-up Internet Texas
the way you normally do for internet BUT instead of starting your web
browser you start the AOL or Compuserve software instead.
Download America Online for
IBM-compatibles and Mac.
Download Compuserve Information Manager 1.4 for IBM-compatibles.
SUPPORT POLICY ..... These instructions are believed to be true and correct.
However.... NO ONE at Internet Texas has accounts with these services
thus... We are unable to test the configuration data.... If you find that
the above does NOT work, we are unable to give much assistance. If you know
how to connect to other services through the internet please let me know the
details of how and I will post or link it from here.
