Welcome to Net4India. The following step-by-step instructions
will take you through setting up and connecting to Net4India
using Windows '98, as well as sending and receiving e-mail.
Windows '98, unlike its predecessors, makes
connecting onto Net4India a simple process. If for any reason
you do not have the Internet Connection Wizard on your system,
follow the instructions for Windows '95. There are only
a few minor differences to the setup procedure.
If your machine is not stand-alone and is
