 Microsoft Money 99 Microsoft Money 98 == Microsoft Money version 5.0 for Windows 95 == 

= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Money 97 and 98 use toll-free phone numbers to access Intuit Service Center (ISC), a service provider for Home Banking. These numbers are not available in Canada or if you are traveling with your computer outside the United States. The default numbers provided in Money need to be edited to allow access from outside the United States.

= IMPORTANT NOTICE =

A U.S. State Department license is required to export North American versions of Money 98 (6.0) and Money 97 (5.0) outside the U.S. and Canada. Localized versions of Money 6.0 and Money 5.0 support different security methods for online banking and bill payment.

= MORE INFORMATION =

NOTE: The file(s) mentioned in this article only apply to the U.S. English version of Microsoft Money 98.

Microsoft has created a self-extracting file called Isctoll.exe to edit the default settings in Windows to allow you to connect to a toll number from outside the United States. This changes the access number to either (650) 306-9003 (San Francisco based) or (212) 957-7000 (New York based). Make sure you can dial this number manually and hear a modem tone before downloading Isctoll.exe.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Software Library:

~ Isctoll.exe
