Other ISP & browser considerations:

6. IMPORTANT note for AOL Users! Do NOT use AOL's browser.
7. Satellite ISP's are NOT recommended! Users who are using Directway or Hughes Satellite ISP's might encounter technology problems and intermittent issues with Etudes-NG that are beyond our control.
8. Use of Multiple Browser Windows is a no-no! Do NOT open more than one Etudes-NG browser window while being logged into the system. It is easy to log yourself out of one and get logged out of the others, losing what you were working on - assignments, tests, etc. You will be prompted to log back in!
