| If
you ever wanted to log on to your local internet provider, to your America Online account
and to your CompuServe account, etc., at the same time using one modem and a phone line,
here's how to do it. For example, let's say you want to be connected to your internet
provider and to America Online at the same time.
- Connect to the Internet through your local Internet provider using Windows's built in
Remote Access Service.
- Run America Online 2.5 or 3.0 and select "SETUP"
- Click on "Create Location" and type in any name
you want in the "Location:" input box.
- For the "Modem Speed," select the highest number
you see in the drop down list.
- For the "Network:," select "TCP/IP"
- Click on "Save" and then on "OK"
- Click on "SIGN ON..." to log in to America
Online! Now you're connected to America Online (AOL) through the Internet, which means you
can access AOL and access the rest of the Internet using you local internet provider's
account.
You can setup CompuServe and many other online services to go through the Internet
(rather than through a direct modem connection) by configuring them to use "TCP/IP" and/or "WinSock"
as demonstrated in the above example. |
