General product info |
| |
| The initial shipping
version of Net Accelerator was build 1.0.35.1 Net Accelerator,
Version 1 is Windows 95 compatible only, we do not make a version
for Windows 3.x. NetAccelerator version 2 can be used in
Windows95,98 and Windows NT. Net Accelerator does not speed up
downloads. It should always be paused during the download of files.
If you skip through web pages quickly, you will not notice a full
12X speed boost, a lot of the performance of Net Accelerator depends
on the customer's style of web surfing, internet congestion, modem
speed, etc. The 12X boost is a best case scenario. |

| Update to most current
version of Net Accelerator first. Net Accelerator will not take you
through your logon procedure for your ISP. You will still need to
logon and enter a password if necessary before you start Net
Accelerator. Once online, you will be able to launch Net Accelerator
and open your browser. Some ISP's auto-load a browser as part of the
logon procedure. Net Accelerator needs to be started between these
two activities. After you are online, and before their browser is
opened. You may need to call your ISP and ask them how to disable
the auto-load of your web browser, and setup a dial up connection to
dial into the Internet Service Provider. |

When I click on pre-fetched links, only the text on the web page
comes up |
| |
| Customer has a Netscape
browser. This is the difference between the way Internet Explorer
and the Netscape browsers work. Internet Explorer makes a single
call to a webserver and retrieves the text and graphical content of
a web site at the same time. Netscape browsers make two separate
calls, the first for the text and the second for the graphic
content. Net Accelerator can only allow a limited time for each of
these to occur before it has to move on to the next link. On pages
with large graphics, Net Accelerator is timing out before the
graphics are downloaded to the cache. No work around or solution. |

What is meant by
Permanent Favorites? |
| |
| Permanent favorites are
pages that NA saves because you visit them frequently. NA refreshes
these pages when your modem is not being fully utilized. This list
of pages is maintained even when NA is closed. Temporary favorites
will be lost when NA is shut down. |
|
|
How long do
permanent favorites last? |
| |
| If a site dows not get
hit for 2 weeks it will be removed from this list. It's place on the
list will depend on how many times it is accessed and how recently
it was last hit. |
