Public has thousands of public domain and shareware programs
online for several types of computers. The largest collection is
the PC-SIG series for MS-DOS machines. You can download all you
want, without worrying about time limits, upload/download ratios,
and such. Here's how to logon to the system:
Set your modem to the highest baud rate it supports and to <8-N-1>.
Any terminal mode (ANSI, VT-100, etc) should work. In order for
the <BACKSPACE> key to function properly on Public, you'll need to
set your comm program to use the "delete" character (ASCII 127)
instead of the normal backspace character (CTRL-H).
Call one of the Dataswitch numbers (515-3980/2975/3254). Once
connected, press <RETURN> several times. This lets the system know
what bps rate you are connected. You should get...
DSS::EQX:11T3
Welcome to the new NCSU EQX switch
Enter H [RETURN] to list services
Select Destination:
...From here you can connect to various systems. To connect to
Public, type "public" and press <RETURN>. If it's not busy, you
should get "Connected to EQX". Now press <RETURN> about once or
twice a second until the welcome screen appears. At the "Username:"
prompt, type "PUBLIC".
When you get to the menu, you'll notice that there aren't many
commands. HELP gives detailed descriptions of each command, so I
will not go into them here. The system is pretty simple to use.
If something odd happens while trying to logon, such as a lot of
garbage appears after the "Connect to xx-xx", hang up and try
again. Enjoy...
