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!
