Instructions for TymNet OutDials:
|
|
For example, if you wish to connect with the outdial port in Norfolk, Virginia
|
|
you would enter Username:6896;password. The following information would then
|
|
be displayed:
|
|
|
|
TYMNET ASYNC OUTDIAL 6986 (804) 857 NORFOLK , VA
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
At the ">" prompt, you may type "help" and receive the following screen:
|
|
|
|
>help
|
|
Set [Half] [Rxon] [Xon] [Even:Space] [Crdelay]
|
|
Half - sets half-duplex communications. Default is full-duplex.
|
|
Xon - sets flow control for data you send. Default is no xon.
|
|
Rxon - sets flow control for data you receive. Default is no rxon.
|
|
Even - sets even parity for data sent. Default is no parity.
|
|
Space - sets space parity for data sent. Default is no parity.
|
|
Crdelay - set printer carriage return delay. Default is no delay.
|
|
Bps [300:1200:2400]
|
|
Sets one of the baud rates indicated above. Default is 2400 bps.
|
|
Dial [Tone] [Pulse] [phone number]
|
|
Dials the requested phone number. Parameters are:
|
|
Tone - activates touch-tone dialing. Default is tone.
|
|
Pulse - activates pulse dialing.
|
|
Optional commas - provide a one second pause. Default is no pause.
|
|
Retry - Redials last phone number.
|
|
Logout - Exits Outdial.
|
|
Help or ? - Prints this screen.
|
|
|
|
NOTES: * Dialed number need not be preceded by "9".
|
|
* In some locations, long-distance numbers must be preceded by "1".
|
|
|
|
|
|
If, at this point, you wish to connect with a BBS whose phone number is,
|
|
for example, 555-1212, you would enter at the ">" prompt, the string
|
|
"d 5551212". This causes the outdial modem to dial the number and connect
|
|
you at 2400 bps. If the host BBS only has 1200 bps modems, you would need
|
|
to first enter "bps 1200" at the ">" prompt. This sets the outdial modem
|
|
to call the host at 1200 bps rather than 2400 bsp.
|
|
|
|
If the BBS is busy you will usually receive a "BUSY" indicator, at which
|
|
point you can type "r" to redial the number or "logout" to disconnect and
|
|
return to the "please log in" prompt. At the "please log in" prompt, you
|
|
may simply disconnect.
|
|
|
|
What does the connect string mean?

Outdial Port # Area Code Local exchange
|
|
|
|
TymNet permits you to make long distance calls from the outdial port.
|
|
You can determine if a BBS can be reached with a local call from an outdial
|
|
port by calling the operator in the destination city and asking if it is a
|
|
local call from the exchange. For example: Virginia Beach exchange 495 is
|
|
a local call from Norfolk exchange 857. If the BBS is outside the local
|
|
dialing area, you can still reach it by putting a "1" in front of the
|
|
number at the ">" prompt. Example: "d 15551212". ALL LONG DISTANCE TOLL
|
|
CHARGES WILL BE CHARGED TO YOU!
|
|
|
|
ERROR MESSAGES AND PROBABLE CAUSES
|
|
|
|
The following are common error messages and some causes:
|
|
|
|
HOST OUT OF PORTS
|
|
All available outdial modems at the outdial city are in use.
|
|
|
|
BUSY
|
|
The host BBS's phone lines are all busy.
|
|
|
|
CALL FAILED FOR UNKNOWN REASON
|
|
Usually indicates that a voice answered the phone call. Call the number by
|
|
voice to determine if it is still a viable number.
|
|
|
|
Can also be caused by low quality modem on the BBS or the BBS only
|
|
operating at 1200 bps. Try the "bps 1200" cure mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
Can also mean the BBS has all lines in use and the modem did not detect the
|
|
busy signal.
|
|
|
|
MODEM TIMED ITSELF OUT - CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE
|
|
Modem malfunction or all BBS lines are busy. Please report this to TYMNET
|
|
at 800-336-0149 immediately.
|
|
|
|
SUGGESTIONS
|
|
|
|
There are some methods you can use to improve the TymNet service from
|
|
your end. The two most common complaints and the easiest to cure are file
|
|
transfer speedups and interactive response speedups.
|
|
|
|
To improve file transfers:
|
|
|
|
Enter a control-V before typing in your TymNet username. Example:
|
|
"STA000000;password". This means hold down your control key and tap the
|
|
"V" key before entering your Username. This opens up the band width and
|
|
imporves transfer time.
|
|
|
|
To improve interactive response time:
|
|
|
|
Enter a control-I before your TymNet username. Example:
|
|
" STA000000;password". Enter this the same way as the example above and
|
|
the response time through the network will be faster. Perfect for chatting
|
|
or e-mail, etc.
|
|
|
|
Members calling a 2400 Baud BBS using a 1200 Baud modem can improve
|
|
file transfers and reduce error messages by putting control-X control-R
|
|
before the Username when logging on to the network. This enables X-on,
|
|
X-off flow control and prevents the BBS from sending data to you faster
|
|
than you can accept it. Never use Control-X, Control-R together with
|
|
Control-V. It will really make a mess of things.
|
|
|
|
FILE TRANSFERS
|
|
|
|
Almost all BBS software requires that you transfer files at 8 data bits, No
|
|
parity and 1 stop bit. If you are having trouble with file transfers this
|
|
will usually be the problem. If you cannot access the network from your
|
|
local number at 8-N-1 and must log on at 7-E-1, have your software switch
|
|
to 8-N-1 after you have entered the ">d #######" command and before the BBS
|
|
connects. Some BBS software doesn't care what settings you use until you
|
|
try to transfer a file. To prevent wasting valuable network time, it's
|
|
best to assume that you need 8-N-1 and change to that setting prior to
|
|
attempting a transfer. Please be sure that if you have striped your high
|
|
bits, you now turn them back on before transfers!
