- Compuserve is a multiuser networked Pay by Hour service. But this can
- be beat. At current rates, CIS (Compuserve) charges $6.50 for 300 baud
- and $12.75 for 1200/2400 baud, 9600 can only be accessed by Hardwired
- clients. Thus you see the need for this file. At the time this was
- written, all information in this file was correct. Enough of this, on
- to the file.
-
- Logging on to Compuserve
- ------------------------
- In order to logon to CIS you need one of the following.
- 1) A Telenet, Tymnet, Or CIS Port
- 2) A Credit Card
- 3) Above the IQ of a houseplant
- That is all you need, I know for some of you the 3rd one is tough, but
- try. Ok, you have all this, call your local port, logon to CIS, then
- you should get a [User ID:] Prompt, type [177000,5000], this is the Ziff
- PCMagnet User Id. Now, if you entered it correctly, then you should get
- the [Password:] Prompt, at This type [Pc*Magnet]. You will next be given
- a Welcome Message, then, you will get yet another Prompt. It should ask
- you for your Agreement Number, type [Z10D8810]. That is the end of the
- prompts. Here's where the IQ of above a houseplant comes into play.
- You now have to think. It will ask you various questions, ranging from
- your country to your Social Security number. Answer them however you
- want, but I wouldn't use your real info. If you want the second password
- (Needed to access some things), you will have to give an address where
- you can drop by and pick it up. Some ideas are sending to your neighbors,
- but use your last name, it will end up at your house. This is safe, I
- have used it. Or you can rent a Post Office box for about 6 months.
- Once you have done all this, and answer the questions, and read the
- propoganda, you will see [Entering PCMagnet]. You are done.
-
- So what do I do Now?
- --------------------
- Ok, if you get this far, you have the IQ of above your fern. You can
- go one of two places, CIS or PCMagnet (Where you are now). You can
- stay in PCMagnet, but there isn't much there. So, I would type [Go Cis]
- This will bring you to Compuserve. Once on CIS, you can do many thing,
- ranging from downloading files, to real time chat on forums to online
- games. Next, I will list some interesting places to go.
-
- Where do I go?
- --------------
- There are alot on interesting places to go on Compuserve. There are
- some places that you can't access without a second password, so that
- must be attained to get on CB. But you can goto the forums, the
- games, and alot of other things. I will list some places that I like
- to go.
- [Go Rocknet] will bring you to a rather nice forum that is populated
- by some very nice people. It has confrences at 7am till
- 9am (Breakfast Club), at 12pm till 1pm (Lunch Bunch),
- and from around 10pm till 1am. I can be found in this
- forum alot.
- [Go Hsx100] will bring you to the Human Sexuality Forum, but it's
- not what you think, they are very interesting people
- that hang around here. The Confrence's there are from
- around 10pm till about 4am. They last along time.
- These are just my favorites, but if you type [Go Forums], it will
- give you a list of forums that you can Hang around on. There are
- some things to look out for on CIS.
-
- Some sights you will see
- ------------------------
- There are some things to look out for on CIS. You must be careful
- when you see one of these things. They are on the look out for US.
- If you see a [70000,xxxx] id, that is a Security Officer, they will
- deleate you if you are not careful. If you see a [70006,xxxx] that
- is a Wizard, he can also deleate you. They some times do not deleate
- you they just /gag you, that means you can't be seen, you are not in
- the userlist. This only applys to Confrence and CB. *LooLoo* is a
- person to be careful not to see, she is a mother fucker. She is a
- powerful person, she can /gag you on any forum, but SHE CAN NOT
- deleate you, only a security account can. Her user id is [70006,522]
- so if you see that ID, be careful. I have talked to her voice on
- several occassions, she is fun to call and bother about CIS, if you
- want her number, it is [614/764-2302] Her real name is Patricia
- Phelps. There is also another not so nice person on Compuserve , he
- is Dan Piskur, he is the Head of Security. He uses the Handles,
- [Dan'l or Ghost] he CAN deleate you on sight.
-
