The AGILE Bulletin Board System

To upload files that do not print correctly, or to download information, call the AGILE BBS:

1.Load the communications software.

2.Set up the modem:

Baud rate: Fastest setting available (AGILE supports speeds of up to 28.8 with both V.FC and V.34 modems)

Data bits: 8

Stop bits: 1

Parity: None

3.Dial 15107248073. If using a line with Call Waiting, dial *70,15107248073 to disable Call Waiting.

4.As prompted by the bulletin board, enter the following:

First name

Last name

“Y” to confirm name

Password

Re-enter password

“C” to continue

Company name

Voice phone number

5.Now answer a few questions about your system:

Hot keys (Y/N) allow options to be selected without pressing Enter

Color menus — “A” = auto-detect

Default editor mode — “F” = full screen (if the user has ANSI terminal emulation); “L” = line edit (if the user does not have ANSI terminal emulation)

Protocol for file transfers — the preferred file transfer protocol is ZMODEM (“Z”), but the user may also use any of the other protocols displayed on the screen.

6.The bulletin board will then ask if you want to display the Bulletin menu (Y/N), inform you that you have no personal mail, and after you press Enter, will display the Main menu.
