************* October 1990 **************
This group of dialing directories were created from a
bbs list, known nationally as "TheList". This group of files
makes it possible to use "TheList" immediatly as a phone book
using the Qmodem v4.2 communcations program.
Please note that the files included within this ZIP are as follows:
README - This file you are reading now.
TELEFONx.FON- The individual dialing directories, each
containing 200 numbers maximum. The "x" in
the name is a alphabetical increment that
denotes the section of "TheList" that is
contained in it. TELEFONA.FON would be the
first directory and TELEFOND.FON would be
the fourth directory. Please note that ALL
directories contain 200 numbers except the
last one which may contain less.
The individual directories have been set up with certain presets
in order to make the listing usable. Certain items in each entry
had to be pre-determined in order for the numbers to work at all
and they are as follows.
1) ALL numbers are treated as long distance dialing codes.
All numbers have their AREA codes AND a single digit "1"
preceding them for AT+T dialing compatibility.
2) ALL numbers are set at 2400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and No parity. If you are using a modem that is slower than
2400 baud please see the "Special notes" area below.
3) ALL numbers have been set up as ANSI BBS terminal emulation.
If you are dialing into a system that requires a different
setup you will have to tinker with it manually.
Special notes -
If you are using a modem slower than 2400 baud your modem may
not recognize the dialing command from Qmodem and may not respond
to the dialing codes. It may be necessary to further convert
EACH directory to allow for slower dialing speeds.
If you are dialing numbers IN YOUR AREA CODE with the long
distance dialing code AND the area code you MAY get a message
over the phone line that "Your call cannot be completed as dialed".
It might be neccesary to modify ALL of the numbers in your area
code to strip the prefix off the numbers and just leave the
actual 7-digit phone number.
Some of the other features that can be set up in a Qmodem directory
were left blank during the conversion process. You can either
reconvert them to include other items like script execution
or preset file transfer protocols.
How to use "TheList" BBS dialing directories :
WOW, this is so simple it's almost embarrasing.......
First - Copy ALL of the TELEFONx.FON dialing directory
files into your Qmodem dialing subdirectory on your
hard drive.
Second - Start up Qmodem in what ever manner you normally do.
Third - By using the "ALT D" key combination, call up your
standard default dialing directory.
Fourth - Now instead of using that directory, just type a "L".
This will call up a on screen prompt of what FON you
want to use in its place. Just type in ANY of the
available TELEFONx.FON files. DO NOT include the file
extension ("FON").
Fifth - ENJOY !. Use these new directories in the same manner
that you used your default directory. You can now try
ANY of the thousands of bbs systems without having to
key in each number yourself.
Call our bbs at 516-938-6722 every month if you cannot find these
dialing directories elsewhere.
