| This step-by-step guide will show you how to get a Windows 95/98/Me computer connected to the Internet using just a serial port, and Virtual Modem running on your Raspberry Pi host system or other system of choice. If you have not already, please follow the [[Guides:Virtual Modem|instructions how to set up Virtual Modem]] as it is a prerequisite for this tutorial. Make sure the serial cable is connected to the Raspberry and the vmodem.sh script is running on it before attempting this part of the guide. You can manually run vmodem.sh to see what is happening on the console of the Raspberry Pi if you need to troubleshoot. | This step-by-step guide will show you how to get a Windows 95/98/Me computer connected to the Internet using just a serial port, and Virtual Modem running on your Raspberry Pi host system or other system of choice.

| Another note: We will tell Windows that the modem is communicating at 57600 bps. This is the default speed of the vmodem script. If you have modified the script, make adjustments as needed. | Another note: We will tell Windows that the modem is communicating at 57600 bps. This is the default speed of the vmodem script.

| + | You should now be able to access the Internet. However, not many websites will work with old web browsers. If you'd like to access archived websites, you can set up a proxy server that can serve archived websites. The Wayback proxy server (wayback.steptail.com:8080) is straightforward to set up in many web browsers, and will allow you to access websites circa 1996-1998. | ||
