Based upon your selection of the “Browser Type” during setup, the choices presented to you in the lower section of the Connection Options console setup will change. This will either read “My Internet connection is…” or it will read “My AOL/CompuServe connection is…”. If you had selected “Standard browser”, then the section title will read “My Internet connection is…” and your choices will be:

through dial-up (modem, or DSL dial-up) – if selected, when Xtreme Fone.net is in its “Waiting” state, it will specifically look for a Dial-up Internet connection. Examples would be a Windows Dial-Up Networking connection, MSN, Juno, BlueLight, Earthlink, etc. [DEFAULT: selected]

through a network (cable modem, router) – if selected, when Xtreme Fone.net is in its “Waiting” state, it will specifically look for a Network connection. Examples would be a connection through a router or a device that is wired directly into a network card in your PC such as a cable modem or synchronous DSL (SDSL) connection.

If you had selected “AOL or CompuServe browser”, then the section title will read “My AOL/CompuServe connection is…” and your choices will be:

through their dial-up network – if selected, when Xtreme Fone.net is in its “Waiting” state, it will specifically look for a connection to AOL or CompuServe that was established using their proprietary dialer into their network. [DEFAULT: selected]

through my own dial-up ISP – if selected, when Xtreme Fone.net is in its “Waiting” state, it will specifically look for an Internet connection that uses a standard dial-up rather than the proprietary AOL or CompuServe dial-up.

through TCP/IP, LAN or broadband – if selected, when Xtreme Fone.net is in its “Waiting” state, it will specifically look for a connection to AOL or CompuServe that was established using a network-style connection through a router or a device that is wired directly into a network card in your PC. Examples would include a cable modem or synchronous DSL (SDSL) connection.
