U Maryland finally has gotten direct remote access to its VICTOR system
for their library system. Here's the info which you may want the BBS's
users know about. It's only advantage over using the MCDPL PAC is it is
direct into UM, if that is the database people want to use, and
periodically the system shows the circulation status if used directly
through UM.
It accepts 300, 1200, and 2400 baud
8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
Dial 403-4333
Press <return> until the "annex" prompt appears.
At the prompt, type: telnet victor.umd.edu <return>
At the next prompt type: PAC
Then you are on, and have pretty decent access speed, considering the
heavy use the telnet system gets....
If users intend to use the U Maryland database, I HIGHLY recommend using
these procedures as the MCDPL access to that database has been quite
erratic.
Hope somebody else can get use of this information.
