Description
With this book, readers can establish a complete Internet connection in five minutes, with access to all the Internet's resources, including the World Wide Web. Want easy, foolproof access to the Internet? Here it is. Anyone who can point and click can access the Internet via Netmanage's Internet Chameleon software, with the Instant Internet connectivity program -- and then cruise the multimedia World Wide Web with Netmanage's exciting new WebSurfer browser. Internet Chameleon has won John Dvorak's "Outstanding Internet Front End" award, and this new version is even more comprehensive and even easier to use. New features include an Archie Internet search- and-retrieval client and support for modem speeds up to 115.2 kbps -- even ISDN support! It's all included in this exciting new book/disk package -- along with automated, preconfigured connections to any of five service providers. Who would have thought establishing a full SLIP or PPP Internet connection could ever be this easy?
