~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
There are a number of questions that are asked repeatedly on
|
||
|
|
this BBS....here are the answers to some of them:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: I used to be able to do file transfers at a reasonable speed.
|
||
|
|
Now my file transfers go at a snail's pace or fail entirely. What's
|
||
|
|
going on?
|
||
|
|
A: We have had a team of engineers looking into the file transfer problems.
|
||
|
|
They have found and corrected a network problem which appears to have
|
||
|
|
been affecting file transfers. This change has been implemented
|
||
|
|
everywhere we have outdials. In general, both uploads and downloads
|
||
|
|
should go much more efficiently now. If any additional problems are
|
||
|
|
found or the engineers have additional suggestions for how to improve
|
||
|
|
your transfers, that information will be posted here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: This BBS is always busy...can I download the files in your PURSUIT
|
||
|
|
file area and post them on *my* BBS so that other customers can
|
||
|
|
get to them easier?
|
||
|
|
A: Yes...If you decide to do that though, please try to make sure that
|
||
|
|
the information you post is kept up to date.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: I'm having problems with file transfers....what do I do?
|
||
|
|
A: First, take a look at the file TIPS.TXT in the PURSUIT file
|
||
|
|
area. Also, if you're more technically oriented, there are
|
||
|
|
other .TXT files in that file area (such as TELE_ITT.TXT and
|
||
|
|
X3_ITI.TXT) which you may find useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: I've looked at TIPS.TXT and am still having problems...now what?
|
||
|
|
A: Leave a public message in the GENERAL message area indicating your
|
||
|
|
hardware and software configuration and a short but complete
|
||
|
|
description of the problem. There are many users on this BBS
|
||
|
|
(both Sprint employees and other customers) who are very knowledgeable
|
||
|
|
about the service who will be glad to assist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: I can't get through to the Net Exchange at night but I've been told
|
||
|
|
this is where to go for help with the service. What now?
|
||
|
|
A: As long as you call the Net Exchange using "C PURSUIT",
|
||
|
|
the call to this BBS is free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The
|
||
|
|
BBS may be down for short periods during the day for maintenance
|
||
|
|
but it's available at most other times.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: Where do I request new in-dial and out-dial rotaries?
|
||
|
|
A: If you have a request for a new in-dial site or a new speed in an
|
||
|
|
existing site, leave a message to our product manager. Requests for
|
||
|
|
new outdial sites should be composed via questionnaire #6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: Where can I leave an ad for my BBS so others will call me?
|
||
|
|
A: All ads for BBSs should be left in the BBS message area.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: Other than PURSUIT and the outdial rotaries, can I use my PURSUIT
|
||
|
|
account to access other services through Sprint?
|
||
|
|
A: Yes, there are a number of direct connect BBS services that are
|
||
|
|
available with your PURSUIT account. These include PORTAL and PLINK.
|
||
|
|
You are charged for these services just like you are for using the
|
||
|
|
outdial rotaries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: What does the DISCONNECT message mean?
|
||
|
|
A:
|
||
|
|
####### DISCONNECTED 00 40 00:00:02:39 143 16
