If your Aptiva computer is equipped with a modem, you can
connect to the Internet. Before you configure your Internet
software, you must first connect your computer to a
telephone network (See "Setting up communications" on
page 4-8).
Your Aptiva PC comes with two Web browsers: Microsoft
Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. If you choose to
use Netscape Navigator, you must first install it. To install
NetScape Navigator, click on the Install Netscape icon on
the Windows desktop and follow the instructions on the
screen. After the program has been installed, a Netscape
icon will be on the desktop.
You can connect to the Internet using the IBM Global
Network, The Microsoft Network, or any other Internet
service provider. Internet service provider and line charges
may apply.
