Thanks for trying the Internet Control Center.  Please read this 
important information before installing.

ICC WILL NOT work properly with some of the 3rd party desktop/
program manager replacements.  No problems have been reported 
with Norton Desktop.  If you have trouble with another shell
try using Program Manager to see if that is the problem.

You must have a working winsock program installed on your system.
ICC is tailored especially for Trumpet and Win95 DUN, but will work 
with any winsock, and has been used with SLIP emulators also.

Before installing ICC, it is best to re-start Windows and run the setup
before anything else. This will avoid potential errors with dll's
being in memory from programs you ran recently.  If you do get such
an error as "File In Use"  ignore it, it's harmless.  The setup program
will not copy an older version of any file over a newer one you might 
have already.

This program installs easily in the usual way.  Just dbl-click on the
"setup.exe" found in the same directory as this file, using your file
manager.  ICC will be installed in your Program Manager in its own
group. Then of course you can drag it to any group you like.

The first time you run the program, the setup screen will appear first.
The setup options are self-explanatory, and if you make a mistake, the
program will tell you so.  To use the "connect-on-startup" option, you
should have your winsock configured to connect automatically when
loaded.  Many popular winsocks can do this.  If you are using Trumpet
Winsock, ICC will set this option automatically after showing you
the settings.  

TRUMPET USERS:  Before using ICC, make sure that the last time you used
Trumpet, you closed the program from the Trumpet window, and NOT from the
Trumpet icon.  Trumpet has a habit of insisting on starting in 
the same state as it was closed, even if the launching program asks for it
to start as a window.  ICC must open Trumpet as a window, and not as an 
icon, when using the Trumpet option in ICC setup.

Also, set the online status detection in Trumpet setup to NONE.  If
your login script has a DCD check in it, this will usually conflict 
with ICC's online check. You will know this if your login script
stops without completing.

The login.cmd shipped with Trumpet contains the line "wait 30 dcd".
or in version 2.1 it reads "wait %onlinetimeout dcd".
THIS LINE MUST BE CHANGED to "sleep 2" for ICC to function correctly.  
The online detection is handled completely by ICC.

Finally, set the dialer options in Trumpet to "Automatic Login and
Logout on Demand".

Due to the wide variation in Trumpet login scripts, sometimes unforeseen
problems occur.  We have always been able to remedy them.  IF YOUR
LOGIN SCRIPT WILL NOT complete, when emailing the author for help, PLEASE
attach a copy of your login.cmd and trumpwsk.ini., with any passwords 
edited out before mailing.  It is also helpful if you rename the files
to something like myname.ini and myname.cmd.


The other important modem setting is the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) mode.
It should be set to disconnect your modem when the DTR signal goes off.
The command for Hayes-compatible modems is &D2.   Thus to be safe,
just add the string &C1&D2 to whatever modem string you are currently
using.  There should be a setting in your winsock dialer program for the
modem initialization string. 

If you need a particular internet client, we have a pretty good
selection at http://www.usefulware.com/clients.html

If you would like a really cool sound intro to play when ICC
starts up, download the file wave.zip from our ftp site
and unzip it into the icc directory.  It will play automatically
when ICC is started.  We didn't include it because of the size, 
and some users won't want it.  ICC uses the Windows MCI sound 
driver.
