Additional Instructions for MAC Users

• Appletalk must be turned off.

• Some operating systems require Netscape to be installed without the extensions. To turn off the extensions, re-start your Macintosh and hold down the "Shift" key while it is booting up. The extensions will be turned off, and Netscape can be loaded. Once installed, re-start the computer in a normal fashion.

• If you decide to install Netscape, make sure there are no remnants of another version of Netscape.

• You will probably want to set-up Netscape's home page to default to WestNet's home page http://www.westnet.com/. This can be done from the Netscape's Options -> General Preferences menu.
