E)cho. The utilities "E" command lets the caller set who is to echo.
"Echo" means to send back what the caller types. If nobody echoes, callers
cannot see what they type. The options are:
C)aller's software echoes. RBBS-PC does not echo. Callers should set
echo on in their communications software.
R)BBS-PC software echoes. RBBS-PC echoes what it receives. This is
the default mode for RBBS-PC.
I)ntermediate network echoes. A data network (i.e. Compuserve) does the
echoing and neither RBBS-PC nor the caller's
software need echo the characters back to
the keyboard as they are typed in.
TIPS:
1. The fastest performance is C)aller's software, because echo does not
have to wait to transmit character and the get it transmitted back.
2. The safest form of echo is RBBS-PC. That way the caller sees what RBBS-
PC really received rather than what was sent.
3. Intermediate host echo can be used when RBBS-PC is accessed through
other computers, such as as Compuserve.
4. Use "C" or "I" if it seems to take a long time for what you type to
appear on your screen. This is a common problem when typing must pass
through several computers, e.g. on PC-Pursuit and Compuserve.
