Note: The self-service system is designed to work with Internet Explorer version 5.5 and higher, Netscape version 6.2 and higher or America Online 8.0 and higher. It uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Protocol to secure data transmissions. SSL scrambles the data you send so that others cannot read it. The data is then unscrambled when received.
