Cyberdog is a suite of Internet components that allows you to browse the World Wide Web, receive and send e-mail, read articles from Usenet newsgroups, browse AppleTalk zones and servers, exchange files with FTP, and log into other computers with Telnet. Cyberdog provides tight integration between these components, and with other OpenDoc applications. Cyberdog also allows you to customize your use of the Internet. These capabilities make Cyberdog more appropriate for Internet-savvy users.
System Requirements
Cyberdog requires a Power Macintosh and at least 16 megabytes of memory. (If less than 16mb of RAM is installed in your computer, use the Memory control panel to turn on Virtual Memory and set the amount of memory to 16M.) Cyberdog also requires System 7.5.3 or later, OpenDoc version 1.1 or later, and MacTCP 2.0.4 or later or Open Transport 1.1 or later with TCP/IP installed and configured.
IMPORTANT Install OpenDoc 1.1 or later before installing Cyberdog.
Connection Requirements
Cyberdog requires that you have Internet connectivity through either a dial-up connection with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), or a local area network (LAN) with an Internet connection. Before using Cyberdog, check that you have such service. If not, you can use the Apple Internet Connection Kit to register and configure your computer with an ISP, contact an ISP directly, or contact your network administrator.
Using the Mail System
To use the Cyberdog mail system you will need an SMTP/POP3 account from your ISP or your network Intranet services group. If you do not already have a mail account, you will need to obtain one. Once Cyberdog has been installed, set up a connection to your mail server by selecting the “Mail & News Setup” item from the Mail/News menu.
If you are currently using Internet Config 1.2 or later and have set up your mail account, your Cyberdog mail connection will already be configured. If you already use Internet Config, please make sure you upgrade to version 1.2 or later.
QuickTime
To play movies and sounds in Cyberdog you need to have QuickTime version 2.1 or later installed.
