- provide you with a further choice of access methods. It is
- also extremely easy to use.
-
- CONNECTING TO CAMPUS GOLD VIA PSS DIALPLUS
-
- 1. Set up your communication software or modem to dial
- a PSS DIALPLUS number.
-
- 2. When the call is connected, a welcome screen will
- appear and you will be prompted for a password.
-
- PASSWORD is GOLD01
-
- As you type in the password, the characters will be masked by
- asterisks.
- If the password is incorrectly entered you will be prompted to
- enter it again. However, if the password is incorrectly typed
- on three consecutive occasion the call will be discontinued.
-
- 3. PSS Dialplus will connect you immediately to Campus Gold
- system and you will be prompted for your ID and password
- in the normal way.
-
- The screen will show PSS DIALPLUS dialing and connecting to
- the CAMPUS GOLD SYSTEM :
-
- Calling 23421920100401
- Connected to 23421920100401
-
- Welcome to Campus System 01
- Please sign on >
- 4. type in your usual Campus Gold ID and PASSWORD.
-
- 5. When you log off from Campus Gold, you will be automatically
- disconnected from the PSS Dialplus service.
-
- If you have any difficulty accessing Campus Gold via PSS Dialplus

-
- Seems like BT are better at keeping secrets than I thought - something like
- this ought to be public knowledge - PSS at 2400 baud and MNP!
-
- The problem with Dialplus seems to be that it asks for passwords instead
- of NUI's. If anyone manages to make the system accept NUI's in the normal PSS
- manner than please let me know.
-
- Since TTNS (Campus 2000) is on Telecom Gold system 01, it's logical to assume
- that the other Gold systems (72-87) can be called this way (though I've been
- unable to try this)
-
- Which brings another point. The Nottingham node is often engaged - presumably
- the system is on a single phone line. So if you get the busy tone, keep
- trying!
-
- If you have questions/comments/suggestions/discoveries/passwords or anything
- else of interest about PSS Dialplus, please leave a message for 'Boris' on
- GoobTel (0602-706307; V21/23) - thanks!
-
- Bye for now, and keep on hacking!
