<p>A network access system (105) is provided for distributing bulletins, such as advertisements, to external computers (103) accessing a wide area computer network (100). The network access system (105) connects the external computers (103) to the wide area computer network (100), and sends bulletins with information being transmitted from remote information servers (101) within the wide area computer network (100) to the external computers (103). A bulletin server (201) within the network access system (105) stores a plurality of bulletins to be transmitted to the external computers (103), determines whether to send a bulletin with the information being transmitted, determines what bulletins to transmit to the external computers (103), and sends the bulletins with the information being transmitted from the remote information servers (101) to the external computers (103). Upon receipt of a bulletin, the external computers (103) may display the bulletins as part of the received information, may display the bulletins before allowing the user to view the received information, or may display the bulletins as part of a separate window.</p> |
