free, software services to support their PC hardware and software
and to turn their computer into a powerful tool for communication,
entertainment, education and business
4.1.1 Internet Launch System
The PhoenixNet Internet Launch System (ILS) is a patent-
pending technology built into the firmware to enable online
PC users worldwide to communicate with PhoenixNet and to
receive the free PhoenixNet services. ILS resides safely
within ROM and is activated the first time a user launches a
PhoenixNet-enabled PC with a Windows 98 Operating
System.
4.1.2PhoenixNet Online Services
When the PhoenixNet ILS detects an Internet connection, it
makes contact with the PhoenixNet server and delivers user-
selectable services from PhoenixNet’s Internet Partners.
These services are delivered to the user as hotlinks on the
desktop and in the web browser or, as applications that
PhoenixNet automatically packages, downloads and
installs.
