Internet
The Internet is a huge network of computers, itself incorporating many
thousands of individual subnetworks known as intranets (LAN's). The
Internet is the largest network of computers in the world and it's
importance as a medium to communicate and interact with other users
has become very clear in recent years.
eComStation is very well capable to act as a client system to several
services available on the Internet, such as (e)mail, webbrowsing, IRC
('chatting'), ftp (downloading files), telnet (remote console access) and
much more. eComStation by default installs Netscape Communicator
for webbrowsing and some other tasks (mail, news, ftp). More clients
are available, either as installed application or as seperate download.
(for an overview please have a look at the 'Internet' folder on your
eComStation desktop).
Before you are able to access the Internet, you will have to configure
how your connection will be made. The list below gives an overview of
the possibilities available in eComStation.
! Modem (analogue/ISDN)
