icon to return to the Transcast homepage, or press
"Phone Hangup", to end the Internet session.
*Sports=Typical display of sports-related sites: Current sports,
sporting goods, sports team sites, sporting events calendars,
sports news, sports events history, sports equipment, sports
locations. sports vacations, etc. The more specific the search
key words, the narrower the search will be. For example,
"Sports+history" adding "+" between search terms dictates the
search would be for those two words together. Some sites may
even take 30 minutes to download.
Note: Transcast will automatically disconnect the phone
line from the Internet after five minutes; if there were
no keyboard presses or arrow movement.
