IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CANADIAN BACKMAILERS
Alethic has had to shut down the Canadian 800 line due to some problems with
Telecom Canada. This means that to register BackMail in Canada, one must use
the international registration line. Follow these steps:
(1) Using the Update Phone directory function from the main menu, add the
number of the international registration line which is:
(902) 429-7593, giving this whatever handle you please and the
appropriate prefix.
(2) Go through the registration process as usual, filling out the form with
correct credit card information. Note that using invalid credit
card information constitutes fraud upon which frown credit card
folk, telephone companies, and a number of government agencies.
(3) Press <ESC> sufficiently many times to exit the main menu and return
either to the dos prompt or to your forground process. This will
place the registration message into the queue for BackMail to send.
(4) Press the hot key to bring back the main menu (default is <alt-1>) and
press 'O' to maintain outgoing mail. Move the cursor down to the
message with subject "REGISTRATION" and press <F3> to readdress this
message.
(5) When asked for an alternative subject, just press <RETURN>.
(6) At the destination selection screen, select the BackMail international
line by whatever handle you have assigned.
(7) Note that the international registration number is not toll free
you should monitor the progress of this call to make sure you connect.
BackMail will continue to call the 800 number but it will not connect.
(9) Once registration is complete (you should receive two or more messages
during the process), go into OUTMAIL maintain and delete the
REGISTRATION message to the 800. BackMail will stop trying to call
the 800 number and will not create any more registration messages
(10) If you cannot get through to the international line, or some other
problem overtakes you, contact Alethic at their voice number:
(902) 423-9860.
