The Monitor requires version 4.0 or higher of Netscape's Navigator or Microsoft's Internet Explorer. For optimal performance, use your browser's latest (not Pre-Release or Beta) version available from the following links:
     Netscape      Microsoft

The Monitor uses Microsoft's current Java Virtual Machine or Sun's Java versions 1.2 or 1.3. Sun's Java 1.4, which can come bundled with non-Microsoft browsers or non-Microsoft operating systems, may not work with the Monitor.

Windows XP users need to read this about their Java support options from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/java/xp.htm

Microsoft's current Java Virtual Machine for non-XP Microsoft systems is available at: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Sun's Java 1.3 is available from: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html

Macintosh users: the Monitor's Java requirements make it incompatible with systems older than 9.0. Mac OS X users may need to run the Monitor in the Classic (OS 9 with Java 1.3) Environment or upgrade their OS and Java to more current versions.
