- 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.
