Site Requirements
To work in a Companion Website, your computer must support, at a minimum, the following connection speed and browser requirements listed below. Individual sites may specify more stringent requirements because they include content that requires, for example, recent browser versions.
Depending on the content at your site, you may also need to download one or more plug-ins (such as Adobe Acrobat).
Connection
To view and work with your Companion Website, you must have an Internet connection with a minimum connection speed of 56 Kbps (kilobits per second).
Operating systems and browsers
Except when a site states specific requirements, Companion Websites are supported in the following operating systems and browsers:
| Operating Systems | Browsers | |
