The following message is forwarded from the staff at the Ada Information Clearinghouse. I have just tested this procedure out, and found it to be working. The Bulletin Board System appears to be an IBMPC. -- Karl -- *********************************************************************** Ada INFORMATION CLEARINGHOUSE SPONSORS BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM FOR NON-DDN USERS Access to the Ada20 Information directories is now limited to authorized DDN users only. Authorized DDN users can obtain instructions on accessing general information files by reading the file <Ada-Info>DDN-Access.hlp. This file may be accessed via "type" by Ada20 users, or via anonymous FTP by users on other hosts. Non-DDN users may now access Ada Information files via a dial-up bulletin board service. The Ada Information Bulletin Board system can be accessed by dialing (202) 694-0215, at either 300 or 1200 baud. Users should set their telecommunications software to operate with no parity, eight data bits and one stop bit. The system initially answers the telephone at 1200 baud, no parity, eight data bits (XMODEM), and 1 stop bit. It then waits to receive 3 slow carriage returns to match baud rate, parity, and number of data bits. NOTE: The Ada Information Bulletin Board system is being implemented on a trial basis. Not all capabilities are fully supported. To report problems, or for additional information on the use of the bulletin board, please contact the Ada Information Clearinghouse at (703) 685-1477. *********************************************************************** Mary Armstrong Ada Information Clearinghouse
