Note Regarding Satellite Internet Connections
LAPWARE is an Internet based program that requires a stable connection to allow for the transfer of questions and answers selected back to our servers. The use of a satellite dish on a vessel normally does not maintain constant connection so you might have difficulty accessing LAPWARE from aboard your vessel. Use a land line whenever possible.
While standard connections provide adequate service, a faster connection is recommended. Some of the solutions can be as large as 4.7 MB and a higher speed connection allows for faster download of this material.
Any questions you may have about this software, or the plugins required, please contact the authors. Thank you.
