- System requirements for AUTOSIG Version 5.2
-
-
- In general AUTOSIG (ATO) version 5.2 requires the following
- equipment configuration:
-
- An IBM PC, XT, AT or close compatible. ATO has been tested
- on the Compaq portable, the Tandy 1xxx series and the Leading
- Edge and runs fine. Other close compatibles might work, but
- be sure to check the users manual for various "switches" that
- might be necessary. ATO does not work on the Data General.
-
- ATO will run on a PCjr using the internal modem if more than
- 320k of memory is available. See the file ATOJR.TXT in DL7
- on IBMJR for further information. It work with a few flaws
- on most external modems. Message downloading may result in
- some missed data in files. The file downloading will work
- without problems.
-
- 256k of memory is required and 320k is the minimum
- recommended. It *might* run in less, but with different
- memory requirements for the different versions of DOS and the
- proliferation of various "terminate and stay resident"
- utilities 256k is probably a minimum level. More than 256k
- is definately better.
-
- DOS 3.0 or greater is recommended. ATO will run fine on DOS
- 2.x systems but you may experience problems with the "Shell
- to DOS feature" of ATO.
-
- A modem capable of autodialing is required. If you're not
- using a Hayes command set compatible modem you'll need to be
- familar with your modem's command codes in order to set it
- up.
-
- Problems have been experienced using ATO on the Leading Edge
- "Wonderful Things" internal modem and successful results are
- rare. ATO is not recommended if you use this modem.
-
- You must be calling in thru a CIS direct node, Telenet or
- Tymnet. Datapac and other networks are not supported at this
- time. There are some workarounds and if you're bound and
- determined and don't mind some interactive logon procedures
- see LOGON.ATO in DL1 for instructions on calling in thru a
- non-supported network.
