CHAPTER Seven - Add-Ons

Java Chat

 

We provide your choice of Java Chat programs for use on your domain. For All accounts you receive at least one basic Java Chat Room for free. You may addon Volano chat for an extra $12.00 per month. If you have applied for basic Java Chat, look on your website for a chat directory. It will already be configured for your server. To join the chat, with your browser, go to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/chat/chat.html

http://www.yourdomain.com/chat/chat2.html

You may decorate the pages however you wish but leave what is between the applet tags alone or else your room will not function correctly.  These rooms are capable of holding between 13 to 20 persons each.  Volano chat will also hold around 20 people per room.

Real Audio/Real Video

 

Real Audio or Real Audio/Video is available for an extra charge. See our fee schedule for details.

Real Audio is a real time audio transmission/player system. A digital audio stream is transmitted from the server over the Internet to the destination and played immediately, rather than being stored to disk first and then played.

Each audio clip requires two files: a metafile with extension .ram, and the digital audio clip itself, with extension .ra.

The .ram file holds one or more lines of ASCII text, each of which references the .ra file to be played when the .ram file is accessed by the browser.

Entries in .ram files have the form:

pnm://yourdomain.com/yourdomain/name-of-clip.ra

Place your .ram and .ra files in the realaudio subdirectory under your web directory. Remember that .ram files must be uploaded in ASCII mode while .ra files must be uploaded in BINARY mode. You may then access these files via a web browser at:

http://www.yourdomain.com/realaudio/file.ram

Majordomo

 

One majordomo listserver is provided for your domain (Gold and Platinum accounts only) for no additional charge.  If you wish to to have it activated, email us and tell us the name you would like for your domain's majordomo listserver. Make sure it has a different name than the name of your domain. For instance if your domain was fred.com, you might want to ask for freddomo.

You wil  receive detailed instructions when we have it setup and you can also receive them from our autoresponder by sending an email note to majordomo-help@park-avenue.net.  

Note: Park-avenue.net is SpringWeb Support.

Microsoft Front Page Extensions

 

Microsoft Front Page extensions are added to your server if you request them, at no additional charge.

If you are using FrontPage, you must create your new web on the "localhost" system. This is accomplished by selecting "create new web," and then entering "localhost" in the line where it asks for the web location. Once you have completed your web on your computer, you can then select the "publish web" option from the file menu in FrontPage Explorer.

You will be prompted for your IP address and web name and then you it will sent it to our servers. Please note that you will be prompted for a user ID and password, and depending on your system configuration it may be the one that we issued you or it may be the one that you entered when you first installed FrontPage. If one does not work, then simply try the other. If you have forgotten what that password was, then you will need to reinstall FrontPage and select a new one.

NOTE: If you are using FrontPage, you should NEVER use regular FTP to upload your files. This will damage the extensions. Stick with one or the other all the time.

Additional Users on your Domain

 

If you have asked for additional POP/FTP/Telnet accesses on your domain, the users of these additional accounts can access the server via FTP, Telnet, and Email with the following parameters:

Hostname: yourdomain.com

Username: their unique username

Password: their unique password

POP Account: their unique username@yourdomain.com

SMTP Server: yourdomain.com

When they login via FTP or Telnet, they will be taken to their directory, where they will see their own www directory and cgi-bin.
