About Cyberdog 1.2

What is Cyberdog?

Cyberdog is a suite of Internet components for email, browsing (WWW, Gopher and FTP), newsgroup reading and Telnet sessions. Cyberdog provides tight integration between these components, and with other OpenDoc applications. It also provides capabilities to customise your use of the Internet. The capabilities of Cyberdog and its customisability make it more suitable for users more familiar with the Internet.

System Requirements

Cyberdog requires a Power Macintosh, or a Macintosh with 68030 or later processor, and at least 16 megabytes of memory. (If less than 16mb of RAM is installed in your computer, use the Memory control panel to turn on Virtual Memory and set the amount of memory to 16M.) Cyberdog also requires System 7.5.3 or later, OpenDoc version 1.1 or later, and MacTCP 2.0.4 or later or Open Transport 1.1 or later with TCP/IP installed and configured.

IMPORTANT Install OpenDoc 1.1 or later before installing Cyberdog.

Connection Requirements

Cyberdog requires that you have Internet connectivity through either a dial-up connection with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), or a local area network (LAN) with an Internet connection. Before using Cyberdog, check that you have such service. If not, you can use the Apple Internet Connection Kit to register and configure your computer with an ISP, contact an ISP directly, or contact your network administrator.

Using the Mail System

To use the Cyberdog mail system you will need an SMTP/POP3 account from your ISP or your network Intranet services group. If you do not already have a mail account, you will need to obtain one. Once Cyberdog has been installed, set up a connection to your mail server by selecting the "Mail & News Setup" item from the Mail/News menu.

If you are currently using Internet Config 1.2 or later and have set up your mail account, your Cyberdog mail connection will already be configured. If you already use Internet Config, please make sure you upgrade to version 1.2 or later.

QuickTime

To play movies and sounds in Cyberdog you need to have QuickTime version 2.1 or later installed.
