- stacks that you can set up. You can also get TCP/IP
- software from third-party vendors, such as Trumpet Software
- or Ftp Software.
-
- To run the 16-bit Communicator, you MUST have a 16-bit TCP/IP stack.
- You can get (16-bit) TCP/IP software from third-party vendors, such as
- Trumpet Software and Ftp Software.
-
- To obtain a copy of Netscape Communicator, download one of the
- self-extracting executable files into a temporary directory.

-
-
- * Windows 95 users, if you are using any versions prior to this
- release, you will get multiple uninstall entries in your

- card installed and configured properly. It will not work
- with the PC speaker driver. Please check your sound card manual
- to configure the sound card.
