Setting up Windows 95 for SLIP/PPP Internet access on ExecNet

This file was last updated on 10-18-1995.


The information listed here has been used by a number of ExecNet callers
using Windows 95.  Please note that ExecNet does _not_ have Windows 95
thus cannot actually try this setup.  The information has been supplied
and confirmed by our callers and is furnished as is, with no warranties
of any kind.  Current backups of your software and settings are always
a good idea and highly recommended!

Please note that in order to use this setup you must:

    a) Have a member account on ExecNet, including the SLIP/PPP option
    b) Have used the "Gateway" on EecNet to create your mailbox

If either of these two items is not true the setup will not work.  Call us
for help or additional information at 914.667.2150 (voice) or mail
support@execnet.com with questions.
