Special Note on Windows 98 / Me / XP-SP1
See this link for Microsoft's official "End of Support" announcement for Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows XP Service Pack 1.
As a result, Filer Mutual Telephone will no longer support these operating systems as of May 1 2008. Many Anti-virus and security programs currently available will not run on these older systems. Consequently, we cannot enforce security, nor offer adequate repair services for these versions.
If you have a computer running any of these older operating systems, they may still work, however you will become increasingly vulnerable to security issues, spyware, and computer virus infection. With no fix available in the event your system becomes compromised, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista as soon as possible.
