Dialing and Connecting to Monster
ISP
The best way to connect Windows 95
to Monster ISP is to use the Internet icon on your desktop. If
this is your first Internet connection using Win95, a short Wizard
will take you through the remaining steps to dial into Monster
ISP. You shouldn't have any problems if you have already
configured you connection. If any information appears within the
setup boxes DO NOT CHANGE IT since it will change any settings
previously set up. If Monster ISP is replacing a previous
providers setup right-click on the Internet icon or an existing
Netscape icon to make the necessary changes. This setup will
prompt you for your username and password that you have chosen.
Please enter them in the appropriate places.
