‘Anything’ is known as an alias. You can use as many aliases as you want. So each member
of the family can have an e-mail address for example [email protected],
[email protected], and [email protected] and so on.
Connecting to the Internet
All our PCs come provided with the capability to sign up for a standard 56k modem Supanet
Internet account immediately from setup. The Supanet Pay-As-You-Go and Supavalue
accounts can use any telephone provider for connection. All other accounts require a British
Telecom (BT) telephone line. Also, provided you have a BT line, the standard 56k connection speed
can easily be upgraded to Broadband, which can provide up to ten times faster internet
access. This is especially useful for large file downloads including movies and entire albums
and will also provide smoother and faster on-line gaming.
