• Most Likely you will need your system software to install TAMUNet.
• You must log on to TAMUNet then access the software that is in the TAMUNet Folder.
• When you log on to TAMUNet you only get a confirmation/status box. You must then open the software that you want to use(Netscape,Eudora, FTP/ Fetch).
• Quitting software does not log you off from the system. You have a limited amount of time allotted to you, so when you stop using TAMUNet software make sure to not only quit, but logoff form the system.
