HOW TO GET A GENIE ACCOUNT
Before you can use Aladdin to communicate with GEnie, you must
set up a user account. You can do this by using a communications
program, such as Aladdin or other communications software. We
will give you the steps to set up an account through your PC. If
you are setting up your account through Aladdin, those steps are
provided after this section.
Remember, do not type the quotation marks in the steps below.
1. Set your communications software to:
o 300, 1200, or 2400 baud
o local echo (half duplex)
o 7 data bits and 1 stop bit
o even parity
2. Tell your communications software or modem to dial:
In the United States: 1-800-638-8369
In Canada: 1-800-387-8330
3. When your modem connects, type "HHH"
Do not type too quickly, but don't use more than a
second to type each one. GEnie will respond with the
prompt "U#=".
4. Type "XTX99013,PCALAD"
5. Follow the instructions on the screen to apply for your
account.
Before you finish, GEnie will issue you a user ID number
and temporary password, your GE Mail address, and GEnie
access numbers.
6. Make a note of these, as you will need them to set up Aladdin.
SIGNING UP THROUGH ALADDIN
If you are performing this task through Aladdin, you will only
need to set up the baud rate and communications port. The modem
commands shown below are listed according to the type of
telephone you have--Touch Tone or pulse. If you are using the
Terminal Mode in Aladdin with a Hayes or compatible modem:

Screen will be displayed.
