ABOUT FIRSTCLASS
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
FirstClass is a multi-platform communications system that integrates
|
||
|
|
full fledged e-mail with workgroup communication services and offers
|
||
|
|
the same ease of use, functionality and high performance over network
|
||
|
|
or modem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One FirstClass server combines the following application functionality
|
||
|
|
in one integrated system:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Complete office electronic mail
|
||
|
|
- Network conferencing for electronic discussions
|
||
|
|
- Remote-access or network bulletin board system (BBS)
|
||
|
|
- Conferencing
|
||
|
|
- Multi-Platform & Language Support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course one of the primary reasons to use FirstClass as an on-line
|
||
|
|
system lies in the strength of its multitasking graphical interface.
|
||
|
|
Modem access is efficient and permits background transfer of files
|
||
|
|
(in both directions simultaneously) even while reading mail, chatting
|
||
|
|
or using other system features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FirstClass as a BBS , has the ability to access and search CD-ROMS or
|
||
|
|
other volumes on-line is very useful, as is the ability to send mail
|
||
|
|
to any user or conference the BBS user has permission to.
|
||
|
|
Administrators may accurately track what users have uploaded or
|
||
|
|
downloaded what through statistics and billing features. They can
|
||
|
|
create custom icons and background pictures. Accommodate users of
|
||
|
|
any computer type through a command-line interface to FirstClass
|
||
|
|
similar to the UNIX shell if they call with a VT100 compatible
|
||
|
|
terminal.
|
||
|

INTRODUCING MANSION BBS
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
Mansion is actively being supported in a number of ways. First,
|
||
|
|
there is the Mansion support board The ZSys BBS in Des Moines, Iowa
|
||
|
|
(515-279-3073). This board offers access to other Mansion SysOps, and
|
||
|
|
up to the minute information concerning Mansion, including bug
|
||
|
|
reports, and bug fixes. Second, are the two regional support people,
|
||
|
|
James Podlasek @ The Board BBS Omaha, NE (402-331-4521) and
|
||
|
|
Jim Creighton @ SEA/MAC Seattle, WA (206-725-6629). These two people
|
||
|
|
provide support whenever I become unavailable. They are also unpaid,
|
||
|
|
so please be nice to them. The ZSys BBS and The Board BBS are sister
|
||
|
|
BBS's and carry the same support message echo and support files as
|
||
|
|
they become available. Finally, ZSys. Software maintains the
