Do
I Need Anything Special to Use Instant
Messenger?
|
|
|
|
|
No, all you need is the CompuServe Instant Messenger
software and an Internet connection through your office or
school network or your local Internet access provider.

If you're already an America Online member, you don't
need to download CompuServe Instant Messenger since you
already have the Instant Message and Buddy List features
with the America Online software. What is new is that you
can now add non-America Online members to your Buddy List.
If you want to send Instant Messages when you're connected
to the Internet from a service other than America Online,
such as a work or school connection, you should register for
CompuServe Instant Messenger and download the software. The
good news is that you can register with and use your America
Online screen name.

How
It Works
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CompuServe Instant Messenger shows you a current list of
your business associates and friends who are online at
this very instant! Simply add any CompuServe Instant
Messenger users to your personal Buddy List, and
their names will show up when they are online.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you see someone you know online, you can send him or
her an Instant Message by clicking on his or her
screen name and typing. When you and your online buddy are
swapping messages, it's like being in an exclusive chat room
where you can work together on projects, make lunch plans,
or just trade the latest news. CompuServe Instant Messenger
is faster than e-mail, more fun than a phone call, and
perfect for sharing any thoughts, ideas or questions,
instantly!
