I just found the www site a few minutes before reading your post.  I
did place another order via the web.  Also found another outstanding
site which goes into great detail on how to setup W95's explorer
(DUN), Netscape, etc. once you have used Worldnet's software to
setup your account: www.mindspring.com/~ekelley/win95/win95.htm

Are you able to tell me if you need Worldnet's software for the
account/password coding (like AOL's) or is it one-time for account
creation.  I'm trying to figure out if I can grab someone else's
disc or CD-ROM and use it for the account creation and then move on
to Explorer or Netscape.  I don't want to wait another month...
