- Equipment and Software Requirements
- -----------------------------------
-
- To use PC PURSUIT, all you need are --
-
- - a telephone line
- - a modem - 300 or 1200 bps
- - a terminal or a PC with asynchronous communications software
-
- PARAMETERS:

-
- FILE TRANSFERS:
- ---------------
- Most transfer protocols are compatible with PC PURSUIT.
- Across TELENET'S Public Data Network, PC PURSUIT transmits
- data utilizing 8 bit transparency. Due to XMODEM'S use of
- single block by block acknowledgement of data sent, XMODEM
- file transfers can take slightly longer. There are
- however, more efficent transfer protocols such as KERMIT,
- SUPER KERMIT and YMODEM.
-
- You can now dial into Telenet as 7-E-1 or 8-N-1. If you dial
- in at 7-E-1, you can switch your parameters to 8-N-1 with
- your software to prepare for a file transfer. Or, dial
- Telenet at 8-N-1 to begin with, using these steps --
-
- 1) Dial your Telenet local access number with your settings
- at 8-N-1.
-
- 2) Enter (cr) D (cr)
