MAIN Function J - Join Conference
This command provides you access to RBBS-PC's Conferences and Sub-Boards.
A Conference is a separate message area, usually focused on a single topic.
A Sub-Board is an entire BBS within the main BBS, with its own message
base, file catalogs, and possibly even a different SYSOP. However, the
Join command works the same for Conferences and Sub-Boards.
You will be presented with a list of conferences after you enter the "J"
command. You can then type in the name of the conference you wish to join,
or press L)ist to get the list again. Press ENTER to exit the conference
command.
TIPS:
1. RBBS-PC offers both public and private teleconferencing capabilities.
Private conferences and Sub-Boards will have unique entry requirements
which you will have to meet before being allowed to join.
2. To go from any conference back to the MAIN message area, use the QUIT
CONFERNECE (Q C) command, or use the JOIN command to join the MAIN
Conference (J M).
3. You can go directly from the Main Menu into a conference by entering
"J" and the conference name. For example, you could enter the "GAMES"
conference with the following command: "J GAMES".
4. You will not see a list of available conferences if you enter the
Conference System while in the Expert Mode. Enter an "L" to get the
conference list.
5. You can perform a valuable service by using the comment or message
functions to suggest teleconference topics to the SYSOP.
