Copyright (c) 1991 Exec-PC All Rights Reserved
|
||
|
||
ABOUT THE EXEC-PC NETWORK (414) 789-4210
|
||
(since 1982)
|
||
|
||
You have arrived! You are connected to the largest, busiest, most popular
|
||
BBS in North America, perhaps the world. We offer files and messages for:
|
||
|
||
IBM compatibles (MS/PC-DOS, Windows, OS/2, Unix)
|
||
Apple Macintosh
|
||
Amiga
|
||
Atari ST
|
||
|
||
* Question:
|
||
Why have many magazine editors and book authors declared Exec-PC BBS the best?
|
||
|
||
* Answer:
|
||
230 phone lines, 4,300 callers per day from more than 43 countries,
|
||
one of the largest online Shareware file collections in the world, plus more
|
||
than 130,000 messages unique to Exec-PC (not shared on a message network).
|
||
This BBS reached a "critical mass" soon after going online in 1982.
|
||
We have avoided busy signals by aggressively adding phone lines and packet
|
||
network links as demand increases. This, along with our philosophy of EASY
|
||
menus (NO menus showing 200 message conferences or 100 file collections),
|
||
and our super powerful computer-per-phone-line hardware to make things fast,
|
||
has kept us on top. Also, Exec-PC is the first BBS to be approved by the
|
||
Association of Shareware Professionals!
|
||
|
||
Exec-PC has handled 3,700,000 phone calls in 8 years.
|
||
|
||
* Who calls the Exec-PC BBS?
|
||
|
||
* Answer 1: Not so surprisingly, thousands of sysops (system operators of
|
||
other bulletin boards) are callers to Exec-PC. Also, dozens of shareware
|
||
distributors call here. Both groups are calling to stock up on shareware
|
||
for distribution to their callers and customers.
|
||
|
||
--> If you want to cut out the middle man, you have found the source. <--
|
||
|
||
* Answer 2: Computer users looking for files and messages, especially people
|
||
wanting to find files quickly. Our most popular feature is our Hyperscan(tm)
|
||
in the file system. Our <S>can command will search through 20,000 file
|
||
descriptions and names in 2 seconds. People who want to find files fast
|
||
will use this feature to do an easy search, then download the files, then
|
||
logoff. Such a search on other online services might take many minutes, not
|
||
seconds.
|
||
|
||
Of course, having 130,000+ active messages in our conference system is enough
|
||
to keep many callers happy. All 130,000 of those messages are unique to
|
||
Exec-PC.
|
||
|
||
WE DO NOT HAVE SILLY 1 HOUR PER DAY TIME LIMITS OR SILLY LIMITS ON THE TOTAL
|
||
NUMBER OF FILES YOU CAN DOWNLOAD. Some systems stand in the way of your fun
|
||
with these ridiculous limits. Don't put up with it - vote with your calls!
|
||
|
||
* Software Directly From The Authors
|
||
Hundreds of Shareware authors post their software here first. This means
|
||
you get fresh versions of Shareware first on Exec-PC. Many of these authors
|
||
have compared Exec-PC's activity levels to the other big services. Within the
|
||
first week of a file appearing on Exec-PC the file will sometimes have as many
|
||
downloads from Exec-PC as all the other large services combined. Here is an
|
||
example for the file PONYEX.ZIP:
|
||
|
||
Exec-PC ...... 122 downloads
|
||
Compuserve ... 48 downloads
|
||
GEnie ........ 48 downloads
|
||
Delphi ....... 19 downloads
|
||
BIX .......... 15 downloads
|
||
Medcom ....... 1 download
|
||
|
||
A few other reasons to call here: Our large system size eliminates busy
|
||
signals. At the same time, we have maintained that friendly, small system
|
||
ambience. Exec-PC has a philosophy of easy, direct menus. Although we have
|
||
full graphics, color and music capability, we don't overdo it - we only use
|
||
color and graphics to guide your eye when necessary. Music from a BBS is
|
||
annoying - we will not use it. We want to make your call to this system as
|
||
efficient as possible. You will notice our user interface is logical in its
|
||
layout, and does not waste your time with lots of rules and warnings - we want
|
||
you to get what you came here for: Lots of files, Lots of messages.
|
||
|
||

789-4315 Hayes V-series 9600B only.
|
||
(A 2 modem hunt group)
|
||
|
||
Note: There are also many workstations devoted to the direct network links
|
||
supported by Exec-PC, and the Exec-PC Chat System is a 64 line system.
|
||
|
||
The phone line hunt groups are arranged so if one group is busy, calls
|
||
will spill into the next group.
|
||
|
||
WHO SHOULD CALL WHAT NUMBER:
|
||
People using standard 300, 1200, or 2400 bps modems should call the main
|
||
789-4210 number.
|
||
|
||
People using MNP modems or using an HST 9600 modem should call the
|
||
789-4337 number. NOTE!: Even if you have a super fast new 14,400 bps
|
||
USR HST modem, it might be wise to call the 789-4337 number since this will
|
||
guarantee your best chance of hitting an HST of any type, be it a 9600 bps
|
||
modem or a 14,400 bps modem.
|
||
|
||
People using a V.32 modem, or those of you wishing to make sure you get
|
||
a 14,400 bps connection with an HST modem should call the 789-4352 number.
|
||
|
||
People using a V.32bis 14,400bps modem must call 789-4360.
|
||
|
||
CompuCom Speedmodem's should call the 789-4450 number. If all ten modems
|
||
are busy you will get a busy signal.
|
||
|
||
Hayes V-series 9600B modems, non-V.32 style should call 789-4315. If both
|
||
modems are busy you will get a busy signal.
|
||
|
||
What is all this alphabet soup?
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
Communications standards are determined by the CCITT standards organization.
|
||
Numbers like V.32, V.42 are decided upon by this committee.
|
||
|
||
V.32 is a 9600 bps modem standard. This means any modems that have
|
||
correctly implemented the V.32 standard can talk to eachother at 9600 bps
|
||
full duplex. That means 9600 bps in both directions at the same time.
|
||
|
||
V.42 is an error correction standard. Almost all V.32 modems support V.42
|
||
error correction.
|
||
|
||
V.42bis (the "bis" is French for "enhanced") is a data compression addition
|
||
to the V.42 feature.
|
||
|
||
MNP stands for "Microcom Networking Protocol". MNP levels up to level 4 have
|
||
no compression, only error correction very similar to V.42. MNP5 employs
|
||
a rudimentary data compression system that is effective on menus and other
|
||
text, but may be a hindrance on the speed of file transfers if the file
|
||
is already compressed. Levels of above 5 are, in a word, unimportant.
|
||
V.42 and V.42bis have supplanted them in the marketplace.
|
||
|
||
V.32bis is an enhanced V.32 standard (or soon to be standard) that is V.32
|
||
at 14,400 bps in both directions. The future is now.
|
||
|
||
HST is the USR HST high speed method, not a CCITT standard, but a defacto
|
||
standard popularized by the buying public. Around for a long time, it is
|
||
popular on bulletin boards. Older USR HST modems offer 9600 bps in one
|
||
direction, 300 bps in the other direction. The modems switch these speeds
|
||
and directions as is needed for the data being handled. The newer HST
|
||
modems are 14,400 bps in one direction, 450 bps on the backchannel.
|
||
|
||
Dual Standard modems handle more than one standard. The USR HST dual standard
|
||
modem handles both the HST mode and the V.32 mode. The latest and greatest
|
||
of these modems is the US Robotics HST dual standard with HST 14,400 mode
|
||
plus V.32bis 14,400 full duplex mode with V.42 and V.42bis compression.
|
||
At this date, the ultimate modem.
|
||
|
||
COMPUCOM SPEEDMODEM: This is another modem that has become popular based
|
||
on its low price and high performance. At $169 it gives you 2400bps MNP5
|
||
plus a proprietary 9600bps mode that is about as fast as most expensive
|
||
9600bps V.32 modems for BBS use. See the file COMPUCOM.ZIP for
|
||
more details.
|

US Robotics Dual Standard and V.32(bis) modem setup used on Exec-PC:
|
||
|
||
The following switches are up: 1,2,6,7,9,10 (all others are down)
|
||
The following setup strings are sent, each followed by a carriage return:
|
||
|
||
ATC1E0F1H0Q0V1X5S7=28S38=0B0
|
||

CompuCom 9600 modem settings recommended for calling Exec-PC:
|
||
|
||
On clean phone lines: AT&F2L1*H1%C0&D2
|
||
|
||
The above setting will give you optimum speed and very smooth scrolling
|
||
of our menus. If you have very noisy phone lines that give you garbage
|
||
characters or failed downloads, change the *H1 to *H2

|
||
12/24/91:
|
||
|
||
NO SCHEDULED WEEKLY DOWNTIME THIS WEEK. NO DOWNTIME ON THURSDAY, 12/26/91.
|
||
|
||
"WHO IS ON" is much improved. Check out the <W>hoison feature in the TOP
|
||
menu here. It shows you what everyone is doing, along with other info
|
||
about the caller and their time on the system. A bit of peeping tom fun
|
||
for everyone!
|
||
|
||
FILE SYSTEM: A new, pre-production version of the PKWARE zip and unzip
|
||
software is out. The filename is PKZ193A.EXE in the FREE collection "C",
|
||
or in the Mahoney MS-DOS collection. Exec-PC has not converted all files
|
||
to the new format yet, we will wait for the regular new version to arrive.
|
||
Until then, some uploads to the BBS will surely have been created with this
|
||
new version of PKZIP. When you are unzipping a file, if you get a message
|
||
like "I don't know how to handle this file", that means you need to use a
|
||
later version of the PKUNZIP program. So in that case, you may want to
|
||
start using this newer version for unzipping files. Remember, if you just
|
||
want to download the PKUNZIP.EXE from within the PKZ193A.EXE file, you can
|
||
>> More? ([Y]/Stop/Continuous/) Yjust use the <A>ccess command and then use the <D>ownload feature within
|
||
the <A>ccess command.
|
||
|
||
FILE SYSTEM PART TWO:
|
||
a. .ARJ files are NOT welcome here! The new PKZIP is better, so why
|
||
bother with the other formats when the new PKZIP will beat them up?
|
||
Sure, you could make files smaller with .ARJ for a month or two, but
|
||
when all files are converted to the newest .ZIP version, the savings
|
||
will be even greater. Exec-PC will not inconvenience you with any
|
||
other types of compression, not when the savings would be defeated
|
||
within a month or two when the new .ZIP format will be debugged and
|
||
in widespread use.
|
||
b. If your upload is known to require VGA or even EGA, please say so
|
||
in the description. A simple "VGA reqd" is sufficient.
|
||
c. No more LEMMINGS game demo uploads, PLEASE! It is a fantastic game,
|
||
but the 20th or 30th duplicate uploads become tiresome! Hello,
|
||
my name is Dave Rhoades . . .
|
||
|
||
FILE SYSTEM PART THREE:
|
||
The Collection Selection menu has a new file collection option titled
|
||
"ATA CD-ROM Interchange Specifications". This area is free to anyone for
|
||
downloads. The files appearing there are for the exchange of info
|
||
concerning a new CD-ROM data format under development by an international
|
||
committee. Exec-PC is their system of choice for this international effort.
|
||
Big and small manufacturers and interested parties will be downloading the
|
||
sample specs from this area. If you are interested, check out the files
|
||
as they appear there.
|
||
|
||
THIS MIGHT JINX IT, BUT:
|
||
Exec-PC has been extremely reliable for the past month or two. Many small
|
||
bugs were tracked down, eliminating system crashes altogether. Now that the
|
||
system is stable, time to make some changes. Lookout.
|
||
|
||
First will be the addition of the CD-ROM drives we have been promising.
|
||
The CD-ROM hardware arrived yesterday. Many CD-ROMS will be appearing
|
||
online this winter. The very latest PC-SIG arrived last week. Watch for
|
||
it online soon. Of course, this will cause NO SYSTEM PROBLEMS! ;>
|
||
|
||
CHAT SYSTEM NEWS:
|
||
The chat system is FREE for the holidays. If you are already a user there
|
||
you will not be charged for any time from now until the new year begins.
|
||
If you are not a user of the chat system yet, feel free to try it out. After
|
||
you call the chat system the supervisors will give you full free access
|
||
within a day of two of your first call. As always, paid callers to this
|
||
Exec-PC BBS get matching free time on the Chat System.
|
||
|
||
HUGE CHAT SYSTEM EVENT PLANNED: Planned for New Year's Eve night - a huge
|
||
international live network link between the Exec-PC chat system and dozens
|
||
of other systems around the country and around the world. Chat live with
|
||
new friends from Spain! Play live network games like SPLAT! (paintball)
|
||
against callers from distant lands! It should be a mind boggling event with
|
||
an unprecendented number of callers sharing a live teleconference at the
|
||
same time. You can call in and watch the chat screens roll by at 100 mph -
|
||
it is amazing stuff.
|
||
|
||
By the way, the Exec-PC chat system has turned out to be one of the busiest
|
||
and most popular chat systems in the country. Many nights see 60 callers
|
||
online at the same time, all pounding away on the high tech hardware doing
|
||
their live teleconferencing and playing games and sending and reading
|
||
messages.
|
||
|
||
LITEL/EXEC-PC LONG DISTANCE DISCOUNT DEAL:
|
||
We are taking our time to streamline the savings we have arranged for Exec-PC
|
||
callers. After receiving hundreds of signups for the long distance service
|
||
last month, we have suspended the program so we can do some fine tuning. We
|
||
saw a need for some extra options, so we did the following:
|
||
|
||
We filed a new tariff with the FCC for an even larger enhancement for not only
|
||
the new long distance products we can offer, but also for a new discount deal
|
||
Ywith extra savings and new pricing beyond what we offered 30 days ago. This
|
||
is not a delay on Exec-PC's part, but we are waiting for tariff verification
|
||
from the FCC.
|
||
|
||
During the holiday season all people who called Litel and gave their address
|
||
and phone number will be personally contacted by our consulting company to
|
||
describe the long distance programs and to select the right option for you.
|
||
If you received any letters from LiTel, please ignore the letters. They
|
||
were trying to keep you informed, but the letter might have been confusing
|
||
in what it was trying to say.
|
||
|
||
|
||
On that happy note, we wish a warm and inspired holiday season to everyone,
|
||
and a healthy and prosperous new year to all!

HAYES V-SERIES 9600 BPS MODEM USERS (non-V.32 only):
|
||
We have just installed two of the Hayes V-series Smartmodem 9600B modems
|
||
on this BBS. The phone number for the special Hayes modems is 414-789-4315.
|
||
|
||
ONLY call these modems if you have a 9600bps Hayes V-se>> More? ([Y]/Stop/Continuous/) Yries modem that is NOT
|
||
capable of V.32 communications. If you have the non-V.32 version of the
|
||
Hayes 9600 V-series modem, now you can get fast download speeds on Exec-PC.

Bulletin Topic: Our humble beginnings, and Million Caller Milestones
|

Copyright (c) 1991 Exec-PC All Rights Reserved
|
||
|
||
Brought to you by Exec-PC, largest and most popular BBS in The World
|
||
|
||
Exec-PC has always tried to celebrate the arrival of the millionth caller
|
||
on this system. The event signifies the continued growth of the
|
||
BBS industry, the continued popularity of the Exec-PC BBS, and, well, it
|
||
is tough to recognize other milestones on a system such as this. Other
|
||
milestones are so elusive, like number of callers per day or total hard
|
||
disk space online, etc.
|
||
|
||
Here is a little chart of our system progress. It includes excerpts from
|
||
the log of system growth since the beginning in the early 1980's.
|
||
|
||
1980 - Exec-PC name used on non-public system
|
||
11/28/83 - Exec-PC public BBS goes online with 1 IBM PC, 1 modem.
|
||
Bob ruins Thanksgiving celebration at his house by running upstairs
|
||
to look at the BBS every few minutes.
|
||
11/??/84 - Exec-PC goes multi-user with 2 lines running on TurboDOS, CP/M, Z80
|
||
3/15/85 - Exec-PC charges for access - $10 for 3 months, $35 per year.
|
||
We were running a thundering 6 phone line system with 280 meg!
|
||
12/??/85 - NASA received delivery of our first custom BBS system, an exact
|
||
copy of our BBS hardware and software. General Mills world
|
||
headquarters received our second custom installation soon after.
|
||
Both systems are still running as of 9/91!
|
||
5/??/86 - Tracey Mahoney quits her promising interior design job to come home
|
||
to Exec-PC and organize the mess. Within two years she will be
|
||
working 10 hour days trying to keep up with the non-computerized
|
||
paperwork.
|
||
1/19/88 - 1,000,000th caller arrives - Ron Ostrowski from Milwaukee, WI.
|
||
We were running a 48 phone line system with 1 gigabyte of space.
|
||
Ron was given a free lifetime subscription to Exec-PC. Ron said
|
||
the prize was too generous, made us decrease it to a 3 year
|
||
subscription. For nostalgia's sake, we are considering giving
|
||
him some more free extensions.
|
||
4/18/88 - Still running the BBS on old processor-per-user CP/M motherboards
|
||
under TurboDOS tightly coupled network/buss boxes. Yuk, this
|
||
technology can't take the strain. We ordered Novell today.
|
||
9/23/88 - Turned off old hardware and our custom BBS software we wrote and
|
||
maintained with old circa 1981 MS Basic compiler. After serving
|
||
the BBS community like a faithful old dog, we sold it all for
|
||
approximately 20 cents on the dollar.
|
||
8/18/89 - 2,000,000th caller arrives. We fail to notice who it is! We
|
||
are busy getting ready to move the BBS to its new location,
|
||
blissfully unaware of the dreaded 5 weeks of phone and modem
|
||
problems we are about to experience in the new location.
|
||
At this time the BBS is running under our "one year new" Novell
|
||
based LAN with IBM compatible PC hardware. It is running with
|
||
about 100 phone lines.
|
||
|
||
The system is running out of our old house. The power lines
|
||
coming to the house are humming with the strain, bothering us
|
||
at night. The move to a real office will come none too soon.
|
||
10/4/88 - 15 phone lines operating at new office. We think problems are
|
||
over, so we start installing the rest of the lines. Soon we
|
||
find 100 of our modems need to be modified or replaced since
|
||
they can't handle an impedance mismatch with our new phone lines.
|
||
5 weeks of hangups and lockups convince us it is a serious problem,
|
||
everyone on the BBS is given a 5 week credit when we fix the
|
||
problem. New facility has 400 amps of clean power, 5 tons of
|
||
air conditioning, filtered air, Halon extinguishers - it looks
|
||
like a computer room.
|
||
|
||
10/19/90 - 3,000,00th caller arrives.
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Here is our announcement from the 10/19/90 3 millionth caller celebration:
|
||
(4,000,000th caller announcement follows this.)
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
The 3 millionth call to Exec-PC arrived on 10/19/90, 12:19am central time.
|
||
Steve Reilly was the 3 millionth caller.
|
||
|
||
Steve wins a Free US Robotics V.32 9600 baud modem, retail value of $1,099.00!
|
||
|
||
Here is the sad story of the people who almost won. The following list
|
||
shows the person's name, date of call, time of call, and caller number.

|
||
|
||
The BBS was receiving calls at a very fast pace after midnight. The last
|
||
1,000 calls were received in less than 1 hour, whereas normally Exec-PC
|
||
receives 3,000 calls per DAY. During the last few minutes of the 3,000,00th
|
||
caller contest, Exec-PC was receiving calls at a rate equivalent to 36,000
|
||
callers per day, or approximately 25 calls per minute. The Exec-PC hardware
|
||
was designed to handle a peak of about 25 calls per minute, so the system's
|
||
CPU's were definitely straining to keep up with the load. A few people
|
||
reported getting no ringing signal or no answer at that time. The phone
|
||
company was apparently unable to handle some of the peak redial surges
|
||
during the final minutes of the quest for the USR V.32 modem.
|
||
|
||
A final note of consolation goes out to Jeff Naujok who reports he managed
|
||
to call in 22 short of the 3,000,000 mark, then his computer locked up and
|
||
he had to wait through a long reboot to make one more call. By then he was
|
||
50 over the mark. Sorry, Jeff.
|
||
|
||
So that is it for this year. Within a year or less we will be celebrating
|
||
our 4,000,000th caller. Watch for our announcements of that prize. It
|
||
will be a good one.
|
||
|
||
And once again, congratulations go to Steve Reilly, Mr. Three Million.

End of 3,000,000th caller announcement.
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
1/4/91 - Tim Semo gets the first official logon on the Chat System he
|
||
assembled for Exec-PC. Soon thereafter he becomes a full time employee
|
||
and the Chat System becomes a value added service as an adjunct to the
|
||
huge Exec-PC BBS.
|
||
|
||
8/29/91 - Chat system expanded one more time up to 58 phone lines. The
|
||
Chat/Entertainment real-time entertainment concept is here to stay.
|
||
|
||
9/26/91 - 4,000,000th caller arrives.

|
||
Tony Lindskog, congratulations! Calling all the way from Sweden, we admire
|
||
your persistence in winning that modem. It will be interesting to see which
|
||
brand of V.32bis modem you select.
|
||
|
||
Tony is a regular caller to the Exec-PC Chat System. His handle there is
|
||
"Jedi". If you ever want to chat with him live, call the Chat System.
|
||
Tony has been calling the Chat system at 300 baud - We think he will
|
||
definitely enjoy an error correcting 14,400 bps modem.
|
||
|
||
Normally the Exec-PC BBS is receiving 3,500-4,500 calls per day, including
|
||
calls to the Exec-PC Chat System. As we approached the 4,000,000 mark we
|
||
received 500 calls in the last 9 minutes, and over 100 calls in the last
|
||
minute! The 500 calls in 9 minutes gives a daily caller rate of 80,000 calls
|
||
per day! In 1990 this BBS had lots of trouble with that high rate of calls.
|
||
This year we optimized the BBS and it had no trouble handling the caller load.
|
||
|
||
For the record books, Exec-PC officially received 8,286 calls during the
|
||
24 hours of 9/26/91.
|
||
|
||
To all of you who tried and missed, stick around. We expect to see number
|
||
5,000,000 in summer 1992. We will go all out for a prize on that one.
|
||

---------------------------------
|
||
|
||
9/27/91 - Exec-PC has become a phenomenon unto itself - Us folks running
|
||
it have typically begun to step back and wonder where it will go from here.
|
||
It seemingly has a life of its own, guided by the requests of the callers.
|
||
250 phone lines shared between the BBS and the chat system, more than
|
||
10 gigabytes of storage, a 56kbps link to an international network,
|
||
many 14,400 bps V.32bis modems, custom BBS software based on exotic fully
|
||
indexed and/or hashed and/or inverted data structures for all BBS operations,
|
||
the 4,000,000th caller is from Sweden. People on the new Exec-PC Chat System
|
||
are playing virtual reality roulette while others are blowing up eachother's
|
||
planets in a simulated universe. USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and
|
||
The New York Times are writing articles about Exec-PC - well, I guess we know
|
||
why so many of you are sticking around to see what happens next . . .
|
||
|
||
We haven't forgotten our roots, and we remain the most generous big system
|
||
in the world.
