Using BB in terminal mode:
You connect to a port/channel by issuing:
T portchan
Example: T A3
Portchan consists of a letter for port and a number for channel.
If a user is currently connected on that portchan, you wind up talking
to him.
If the portchan is unused, you can use it for terminal work.
1) Precede all TNC commands with an ESCAPE key. If you ware using a DED
mode TNC or card then this is the same as your usual procedure. For AEA
TNCs with the original EPROMS, you are in HOST MODE and must use the
special commands and formats. See AEAHOST.DOC for details
2) Use two ESCAPE keys to issue BB Local SYSOP commands. If you issue a
"D" for download, then the file will also be copied to the portchan you
are connected to.
3) The upload/download commands change direction for the operator. When
you are in terminal mode, UPLOAD sends file to the distant computer and
DOWLOAD gets them from the distant computer. Example: If you are
logged on to another AA4RE BBS system, you would issue the command to
the distant system to do the DB and then do the <esc><esc>DB for the
local system.
Terminate terminal mode by either F3 or F7. See OPERATE.DOC
