- Dial-On-Demand
- =======================================================================
-
- You can always manually use the Dialer to connect to your Internet account.
- However, you don't have to. When you start Netscape, if you
- aren't already connected to your Internet account, the Dialer
- automatically starts to connect to your service provider.
-
- After 5 minutes of inactivity (you can change this setting in the Dialer)
- the Dialer hangs up the call. Clicking any link in Netscape will restart the
- Dialer to dial and connect to your service provider.
-
- If the Dialer starts when you start Netscape, then the Dialer automatically
- hangs up the call and quits when you exit Netscape. This means that you
- don't have to use the Dialer at all.
-
- With Eudora, the Dialer will only start when you send or check your email.

- Troubleshooting
- ===========================================================================
- 1) If you get this error message "Security error has occurred, security
- error: XX. You will probably be unable to connect securely to this
- server. You can try to make an unsecure connection, if you wish.", you
- will need to update your system date to today's date.
-
- 2) When you run the Modem Setup from the Registration Wizard it checks for
- FIFO in your serial port. This is because machines without FIFO can't
- handle high DTE speed, so setup turns the DTE speed down to 9600.
-
- If you don't want the software to turn down the DTE speed during the
- Registration Wizard you disable this feature by modifying the shivappp.ini
- file before running the wizard. The shivappp.ini file is located in your
- NETSCAPE\DIALER directory. Set CheckForFIFO=No in the preferences
- section in your shivappp.ini file.
-
- 5) If you try to autodetect Megahertz PCMCIA modems with certain laptops,
- you will need to remove the modem and put it back in if the machine hangs
- after you click the Finish button in the Modem Setup.
