Connect via Worldgroup Manager


Connect via TELNET

SPECIAL NOTE:
Depending on your TELNET client, you may wish to type '-A' after connecting to the system if you see "garbage" which probably represents ANSI COLOR CODES. If you see full color after connecting, don't bother! '-A' will toggle ANSI color sequences on and off each time you type it.

WORLDGROUP
MANAGER

Use our great graphical interface to access all system functions!

Available for Windows and Win95.

 Orbiter Online is proud to be using WORLDGROUP Server software by Galacticomm. Using this great Client/Server interface, you will have a fully-graphics interface (Windows 3.1 or Win95) to utilize our system with.
These directions assume you are using Netscape v2 or later.
GETTING THE FILE: Get the ORBIT.EXE file (or ORBITER.EXE, which is much larger but won't require the many online updates after you first link up).
INSTALLATION: Proceed to run the file on your computer... it will self-extract and then guide you through the installation process.
COMPLETION: Once you have completed the installation, you will want to CLOSE NETSCAPE to make sure all changes were saved, as the C/S Software will also make a link into Netscape, allowing you quick access to Worldgroup.
You are set! You can now link to any Worldgroup server the world over with the most advanced interface available.


TELNET CLIENT

A quick-n-easy way to connect to any Internet site with Windows v3.1 and any 16-bit Winsock driver.

 For a simple COLOR TEXT interface with our system, get the SPTNET16.EXE file. This simple TELNET client will allow you to connect to ANY telnet'able system on the Internet, right from your web browser!
GETTING THE FILE: Get the SPTNET16.EXE file and store it somewhere other than your Netscape directory. Open a DOS Window and go to that directory. Run the file by typing SPTNET16 C:\NETSCAPE. You can then type DEL SPTNET16.EXE to get rid of the archive you just downloaded.
INSTALLATION: Click the OPTIONS menu in Netscape, then select GENERAL PREFERENCES, and click on the APPS tab at the top of the window. In the TELNET APPLICATION field, type in SPTNET16.EXE and then click OK.
COMPLETION: No other steps are necessary. The TELNET application is ready immediately. If you like, you may create an icon-reference to the SPTNET16.EXE program for easy access to the TELNET function from right inside your Program Manager.


TELNET CLIENT

A quick-n-easy way to connect to any Internet site with Windows 95 or NT.

 For a simple COLOR TEXT interface with our system, get the SPTNET32.EXE file. This simple TELNET client will allow you to connect to ANY telnet'able system on the Internet, right from your web browser! This TELNET client is better than the built-in client that comes with 32-bit Windows as it supports full ANSI and file transfers.
GETTING THE FILE: Get the SPTNET32.EXE file and store it somewhere other than your Netscape directory. Open a DOS Window and go to that directory. Run the file by typing SPTNET32 C:\NETSCAPE. You can then type DEL SPTNET32.EXE to get rid of the archive you just downloaded.
INSTALLATION: Click the OPTIONS menu in Netscape, then select GENERAL PREFERENCES, and click on the APPS tab at the top of the window. In the TELNET APPLICATION field, type in SPTNET32.EXE and then click OK.
COMPLETION: No other steps are necessary. The TELNET application is ready immediately. If you like, you may create a shortcut to the SPTNET32.EXE program for easy access to the TELNET function from right on desktop or Start Menu.
