IT Communications: IT Communications
Thanks to computer and telecommunication technology, the PC has become a gateway to the world. The first two units of this CD-ROM spotlight online faxing and e-mailing. Using Symantec’s WinFax PRO, the details of data transmission via phone line and ISDN are outlined. Then, using Microsoft Outlook Express, the basics of e-mail are described, covering modems, dial-up connections, Internet service providers, and electronic addresses.

The five remaining units demystify the Internet, arguably the best reference resource and communications tool the world has ever known. First, some background is provided on how the World Wide Web fits into the Internet and what a URL is. Next, the features and functions of Microsoft Internet Explorer are explained. And last but not least, finding information with search engines and downloading public domain programs, freeware, and shareware are demonstrated.
