The documentation should be self explanatory but a brief word about
STARDIAL may be helpful. STARDIAL is a standalone autodialer for users
of the Starlink system. FYI, the Starlink system is Tymnets answer to
PCPursuit, a low cost packet switching service. There are many ex-PCP
users who have switched to Starlink. This created a need for an easy way
to handle all the dialing codes and id#'s that are required by the major
networks. Thus STARDIAL was developed. It will completely automate the
dialing process. Stardial is a complete package having upload and
download capabilities with the use of 8 internal protocols and
provisions for easily installing up to 3 additional external protocols
or drivers. STARDIAL also has ASCII file capture. In terminal mode it
may be used as a traditional communications program without any
automatic dialing features, however, it's primary purpose is to automate
the process for calling a BBS utilizing the Starlink/Tymnet system.
The evaluation (unregistered) version has an opening screen with a tiny
delay and the dialing directory is limited to 20 entries. STARDIAL
supports multiple directories, however, so acutally the number of
directory entries is unlimited. Upon registration, the user will get the
registered version without the opening screen and the dialing directory
can have up to 200 entries in memory at one time.
