>From W8SDZ@Mit-Mc Tue Jul 6 15:07:26 1982 +++ Remote CP/M Software Exchange Systems, List # 26 +++ Last Revised June 20, 1982 ============================================================== A summary of all known (and running) Remote CP/M Software Exchange Systems using XMODEM for program transfers. It would be appreciated if operators of new RCPM systems will transmit the needed information about their systems to Ben Bronson [Hyde Park RCPM (312) 955-4493], to Jud Newell [Mississauga RCPM (416) 826-5394], or to Kelly Smith [CP/M-NET (805) 527-9321]. Ben, Jud, & Kelly will attempt to coordinate updates to the RCPMLIST as they occur...

Whether a program exchange system is accessible by an a.l.d.s. (= alternative long-distance service) should be con- sidered when planning to modem over long programs. Charges on SPRINT, ITT/CITYCALL and MCI are 50-60% of Ma Bell's regular long distance rates. 2. Call-back systems are those where a computer and real people share the same telephone line. To contact the people, just dial & let the phone ring until you get an answer. To contact the computer: (1) dial, (2) let the phone ring once, (3) hang up just before the 2nd ring, & (4) re-dial. 3. Note that the 212A/Vadic 1200 Baud modems may not be compatable with yours. Most of the above systems are using Vadic 3451 Triple modems, compatable with both Bell and Vadic Standard. Sign on the first time at 300 baud to determine the system capabilities. Note also that PMMI's can sometimes be used above 300 baud with 1200 baud systems. 4. All times listed are local time. 5. For further notes & explanations, see RCPMDATA.17
