- Equipment and Software Requirements
- -----------------------------------
-
- To use PC PURSUIT, all you need are --
-
- - a telephone line
- - a modem - 300 or 1200 bps
- - a terminal or a PC with asynchronous communications software
-
- PARAMETERS:
- -----------
- Communication parameters for your hardware should be set-up
- consistent with the PC or BBS or host computer you wish to dial.
-
- FILE TRANSFERS:
- ---------------
- Most transfer protocols are compatible with PC PURSUIT.
- Across TELENET'S Public Data Network, PC PURSUIT transmits
- data utilizing 8 bit transparency. Due to XMODEM'S use of
- single block by block acknowledgement of data sent, XMODEM
- file transfers can take slightly longer. There are
- however, more efficent transfer protocols such as KERMIT,
- SUPER KERMIT and YMODEM.
-
- You will note that you must use parameter settings of 7
- data bits, Even parity, and 1 stop bit to dial into your
- local Telenet access number. Once connected to your dest-
- ination computer or bbs, you can switch to 8 data bits,
- No parity, and 1 stop bit if needed to do file transfers
- with XMODEM or other 8-bit protocols. Some communication
- software packages will automatically change your parameters
- once the file transfer is initiated.
