Connect FREE Newsletter October 98 Welcome to Connect Free, and thank you for joining our service. We hope you find our Second Newsletter informative. September's Newsletter can be viewed on our web site at the bottom of the FREE Internet page. FreeServe & Dixons Now we all know that Free Internet access is going to be the norm very shortly and users of the Internet like yourselves would like to have several connections to the Internet from different ISP's and of course you will choose the service that offers the best performance. With the launch of Dixons Freeserve service some of our users have taken the decision to have a second account - great idea. If you decide to use this service alongside your Connect FREE account please do not use the CD install that Dixons provide - if you do, then you may just find that your Connect FREE account will no longer work. It is possible to configure the Freeserve system manually and then you will be able to use any account on your system without problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Future Developments In November, Connect FREE will be able to offer an even better service because we will have 1Gig of Internet bandwidth for fast access to the Internet and thousands of modems and lines ensuring that you get a guaranteed first time connection every time. We will be spending one million pounds on new equipment, for example new modem racks, routers and servers. This new equipment will be housed at Telehouse, London, the main exchange for all UK Internet traffic. Connect FREE is aiming to be not only the first Internet Service Provider to offer FREE Internet access in the UK but also to be the Best. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- POP3 & SMTP Mail During November Connect FREE is going to be offering all it's customers FREE unlimited POP3 e-mail addresses and unlimited aliases to each e-mail account. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Free Web Space During December we plan to offer all our Connect FREE customers, FREE web space. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proxy Server Connect FREE does not have a Proxy Server. If you find that you can connect to the Connect FREE service but you cannot view any web pages the likelihood is that you have the Proxy Server setting *Ticked* in your browser configuration. This can happen if you put another Internet Service Providers software onto your PC and the automatic configuration will enable this setting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- News Server The automatic news configuration routine on our website does not work for everybody. If you have problems using this facility then we suggest you set-up News manually using something like Outlook Express. Our News Server address is: news.connectfree.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change of Details If you need to change your personal details i.e. email address etc, then you will soon be able to do this via a web page on the Connect FREE website. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information Line If you do need to contact Connect FREE by phone or email please ensure that you provide your LoginID & Password with every communication. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Improvements Connect FREE would like to hear from you, if there is any way in which you think we could improve our service to you, or add more content to the Connect FREE website. It is Connect FREE policy not to send unwanted rubbish by e-mail or junk advertising by any other means. All we ask is that you receive our monthly newsletter informing you of any changes to the service and any new service that may come available which you may benefit from.
