Answers
What is IM-Live?
An IM-Live button or link opens a web page that runs a Java applet that contacts a live person for immediate chat. You might click an IM-Live button on a web page to ask questions about products you see, to get technical support, or just to get more information.
Because IM-Live is a Java applet, there is nothing for you to install. Just click.
The person you chat with is running hotComm. IM-Live is a feature of hotComm. For more information about hotComm, see www.hotcomm.com.
TopWhat browsers work with IM-Live?
IM-Live works with :
- Netscape 3.0 or higher
- Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.
Because IM-Live runs a Java applet, the browser must be set to enable Java.
