To access the Internet, you need a direct or a dialup connection to it. The speed of access to our site will depend on many factors:
  • The quality and performance of any Internet Access Provider company you use
  • The speed and loading of the telephone line, if any
  • The number of users accessing the site simultaneously
  • The current load of major international telecommunications traffic routes
  • The current load of the Internet in general
Modem Speed: If you use a modem to access the Internet, then its speed is likely to be the main determinant of the speed of access to our site. We recommend strongly that you use a modem rated at least 28.8 Kbps (kilobytes per second - the baud rate).

 

Browser Requirements
Your "browser" is the software program you use to access the Internet's World Wide Web.
The most common browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Different versions of these browsers have been released over time.
You can use any browser to view these home pages. However, to use the Itinerary Planning Database area of our site, you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 (IE4) or above. This is due to the use we make of advanced features available only in this browser.
If you install IE4, you do not have to uninstall any other browser(s) from your computer. You might prefer to use Netscape to browse the web and only use IE4 to access our site.
You can obtain IE4 free of charge, by downloading it from Microsoft, or can order it on CD and pay only the shipping charge.
To obtain Internet Explorer, click a link below

We are planning to make the site compatible with Netscape Navigator version 4.0 soon.
