| - | ====== Getting Started with ALTERNET ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP center round alert 60%> | ||
| - | We are in the process of restoring popular websites with an emphasis in having a complete experience with working website features. The service is currently **in BETA** ! If you would like to join testing, please contact. | ||
| - | </WRAP> | ||
| - | |||
| - | To begin, you will need to connect your vintage computer to your network and set it up so that it has access to the Internet. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Connecting using Virtual Modem is optionally supported if you would like to emulate the dial-up sequence on a Windows 3.11 or a Windows 95/98 computer. If you would like to use the Virtual Modem, you may use the [[Guides:Virtual Modem|Raspberry Pi Virtual Modem]] guide to set it up. | ||
| - | |||
| - | You can use any web browser that supports HTTP Proxy, but we have a list of tested and [[Features|supported web browsers]] which you may want to visit. You will need to configure your web browser to use [[servers|our proxy server]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | We currently have the following web browsers instructions covered: | ||
| - | * Internet Explorer 3.0 | ||
| - | * Netscape Navigator 4.0 | ||
| - | * Netscape Navigator 4.5 | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once the proxy settings are added, you can start browsing! The ALTERNET proxy will serve pages from an archive to your machine, and the user experience will stay true to the experience of the 90's. You will only need to type in an archived web address you would like to visit. | ||
| - | |||
| - | We recommend starting by going to the welcome page at [[|http://swp.inode.com]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | We will be continuously testing various other web browsers, so you'll know to expect that they work. | ||
