KnoxNet Hardware Requirements
The following is some basic information about the hardware and software you need to
connect to KnoxNet. Please be aware that the minimum specifications noted below are
just that: minimum. In general, the more recent the model of your computer, the better
will your experience with KnoxNet be, especially when it comes to displaying graphics.
This is because more recent computers have faster processors and greater amounts of main
memory (RAM), which are required for the high-speed transmission of graphics and
multimedia files. Modems: Your modem (the device that connects your computer to the telephone line) must run at 9600 baud or faster. Warning: modems running at less than 28,800 bps may cause your graphical connection to be very slow. Most, if not all, models of Zoom modems will NOT connect to KnoxNet's systems. If you can turn off error correction and data compression on your Zoom modem, you may be able to get it to work. If not, we suggest you visit a local computer dealer to buy a modem that adheres to industry standards. Operating Systems (minimum requirements): Microsoft Windows 3.1 or 3.11 (not recommended or supported) Microsoft Windows 95 (minimal support available)
Microsoft Windows 98-NT |
