GEnie has over 400 access numbers nation-wide. XMODEM transfers are
almost as fast as micro-to-micro because the XMODEM protocol is built
into the local nodes.
Set your communication parameters to 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,
1200 or 300 baud, and full-duplex. Call 800-638-8369. When you get
the CONNECT or ON-LINE message from your modem, type three H
characters (must be upper case, no RETURN needed) to sync baud rates
then wait until you see a 'U#=' from GEnie (User Number Equals?).
Type the following:
^RVJM11999,GENIE<cr>
where ^R is a control-R (which tells the local node to echo) and <cr>
is a carriage return. You can omit the control-R if you prefer to do
your own local echo (the node defaults to that). You will then be
able to run a free demo, and sign up if you wish.
