[rec.radio.amateur.packet] Casio BOSS - Using as a Terminal

cleveland@gold.gvg.tek.com (cleveland) (03/28/91)

If have seen some references in posting to the use
of the Casio BOSS as a terminal. Would someone
please inform us as to how this is done?

What does one do to the BOSS to put it in terminal mode?
Baud rate, parity, etc.?

Finally - how successful is this process? Does the size
and portability of the BOSS outweigh the disadvantage of
the small screen and miniscule keyboard?

I am interested in retrieving e-mail and accessing packet
bulleting boards while on the road. File transfer is of
little interest to me.

Any comments?

thanks,
