- BBS is a simple communcations program written specifically to contact
- electronic Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs). It works with Hayes compatible
- modems with transmission speeds from 1200 BPS to 115200 BPS. File upload
- and download protocols supported include ASCII, Kermit, Xmodem, Ymodem,
- Zmodem, 1K Xmodem, 1K Xmodem/G, and Ymodem/G. The program has full mouse
- support and automatically handles the ANSI screen characters that most BBSs
- use to display text and graphics. Screen colors can be configured & saved.
-
- After starting the program, a screen is displayed that can list up to 300
- bulletin boards with their phone number and communication parameters. If
- this is the first time the system is used, the list may be blank. This
- list information is stored in the BBS.CFG file, the file will be created
- if it does not exist. Press F4 to specify your modem settings. There
- are only three fields to enter information, first is the letter T or P to
- indicate Tone or Pulse dialing, second is the communication port which is
- a number from one to four (COM1-COM4). The final field, IRQ Number, is
- normally left blank. The only reason to change it is if your modem is
- connected to a port that uses a non-standard Interrupt Request line.
- Press F2 to save your modem setting or Esc to cancel the changes. To
- change the modem initialization string, press F7 and enter the new modem
- setup string. Press Enter to save it or Esc to cancel the change.

- line, the line connection will be broken and the modem will hangup. You
