A method for communicating real-time to subscribers of an Internet service
provider, without requiring installation or set-up of client software by
the subscriber, utilizing unique identification information automatically
provided by the subscriber during communications to provide a fixed
identifier which is then examined in real time. Messages may then be
selectively transmitted to the subscriber. The system may be transparent
to the subscriber, with no modification of its content along the path
identified by the subscriber. Where desired, content may be modified or
replaced along the path to the subscriber. The system forces the delivery
of information to the subscriber for the purposes of establishing a
reliable delivery of bulletin messages from providers to their
subscribers. These messages may be displayed permanently, temporarily, or
in separate pop-up browser windows, according to provider preference.
