Icons received from the Bulletin Board

After a successful connection, TeleFinder displays the BBS Desktop window with the icons you have access to.  Double-click on them to open them.

This screen is an example of what users see after connecting to Spider Island Software's support BBS.  Bold icon names indicate new or recently changed files.  

TeleFinder displays file area  icons to provide you access to demo, shareware, and public domain software.  The Mailbox icon contains your mail.  The Conferences icon contains message topics with news, information and public discussions.  The Upload Here! icon is used to send files to the BBS.  The BBS system operator chooses the icons and names of BBS areas.

When you connect a “Read Me” document may open on your screen.  The system operator of the BBS uses this for special announcements.  You can save the document as a text file or print it.  The Session Time window shows the connection time, time remaining, last logon time,  local time of the BBS, and the total kilobytes (K's) of files that you have downloaded.
