Notes:

Some additional things to consider

• The dialup access telephone number is in downtown Windsor. Long distance charges will apply if you call in from out of town. Local telephone numbers in other cities in North America is only available as an option in our Preauthorized Payment Dialup Plan.
• The network services are monitored 24/7, but technical support on this plan is only provided during regular business hours.
• The quality of service from your house to our network centre is dependent upon the quality of your telephone line and equipment.
• No special software is necessary on your computer. Dialup Internet facilities are provided as part of the Apple MacOS or Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and XP operating system. You may require the original installation disk if you need to install or re-install the dialup networking component.
• Govital does not provide technical support beyond assistance with setting up your dial-up network connection, Web browser or standard electronic mail program (e.g. Microsoft Outlook Express).
