2918.0. "Help with TCP/IP" by FABSIX::M_OTT () Thu Feb 13 1997 17:41

Help!

I want to get onto the internet via TCP/IP but I'm not sure where to get the
software. I don't want to use W95, am currently running WFW. Is there something
out there that will allow me to use TCP/IP?

Thanks for any leads or information

2918.1	access provider can do it	CPEEDY::BRADLEY	Chuck Bradley	`Thu Feb 13 1997 18:24`	8
	most internet access providers will supply all you need. with tiac it was a three step process, after some discussion. probably simpler with wfw. dial in with terminal to get a comm program for binary. use it to get an ftp program. use ftp to get browser, mail, and all the rest.

	re: .0 If you're using it to access the office, you could try getting copies of Trumpet Winsock and Netscape. We have internal use copies online somewhere last I knew. Someone remember where?
2918.3	...and free browser from Microsoft	GUIDUK::HEALY	Alan Healy @ZSO	`Tue Feb 18 1997 16:09`	5
	If you're looking for free software, you can get MS Internet Explorer plus a TCP/IP stack free from the Microsoft Website (they've even got IE 3.0 out for WFW now)... Al
