Setting up and using GUExpress on Windows 95 or 98

Special Step for Windows 98: Optimize dial-up connection

If you are not using Windows 98, use the buttons on the left to choose the operating system you are using.

Once you have created a dial-up connection and connected to Georgetown, you can Launch Netscape Communicator and use the Internet or access your GUMail account just as you would from your office computer. While using GUExpress, you may sometimes find it convenient to work offline.
