- PLAYNET INFORMATION
-
- by Captain COMAL
-
- If you have a modem, you have access
- to several national network systems.
- You've seen the ads, including those
- for: PlayNet, Quantum Link, People
- Link, Viewtron, CompuServe, the
- Source, and Delphi. If you were
- wondering what it was like on these
- networks, now you can find out. You
- don't even need a modem to try out
- our PlayNet Simulator. The program is
- a fake. You really aren't signed on
- the PlayNet system. It just looks
- like it.
-
- RUN the program. After a couple
- seconds your screen is transformed
- into a typical PlayNet screen. You
- are in a Public Room called COMAL.
- Other people are in the room with
- you. They are talking to you. And you
- can talk back! Yes, just type in
- something - press RETURN - and your
- message appears on the screen (your
- name is USER 1). The function keys
- work just like in PlayNet. Mail pops
- up on your screen and F5 deletes it.
-
- If you've been on PlayNet, you
- already know what it is like. This
- program allows you to show your
- friends - any time - any where. No
- modem required! No phone charges! No
- network bills! On the first Thursday
- of each month, you can come to the
- COMAL room for our national COMAL
- meeting (10pm Eastern time). Also,
- AHOY has a meeting at this time in
- the AHOY PORT OF CALL room. You can
- leave EMAIL (Electronic Mail) to me
- (Captain C) or to AHOY (Captain B).
-
- The second Thursday of each month we
- hold a national COMAL meeting on
- Quantum Link (10pm Eastern time).
- Quantum Link bought the PlayNet
- system software and vastly improved
- it. It adds a fast loader, can auto
- dial for you, allows 1200 baud modem
- use, and has a "capture" feature that
- lets you save a message from the
- Information Network to disk. But, it
- still looks and acts just like
- PlayNet. An added bonus on Quantum
- Link is the COMAL Question and Answer
- board. If you have any questions
- about COMAL, just go to CIN - MEET
- THE PRESS - COMAL TODAY. Then check
- out our Q & A board. If the
- information is not already there,
- just post your question. Usually
- within a day or two an answer will be
- posted.
