FILE: CC-DIAL.TXT Hello my dear friends... The following will be instructions on accessing CalvaryNet through DOS and Windows Applications. FOR WINDOWS: ============ NOTE: You can use a DOS Communications program from within Windows. I personally use the COMMO Program, but Telix, Procomm Plus, Panther and other communication programs work fine in a DOS Window from within WINDOWS. Just make sure that you LOCK the application memory in the PIF or PROPERTIES settings for that DOS program. I use a DOS window myself for all Windows Communications. I can INTERNET FILE ATTACH you a FREE communications and off-line mail program IF you have an internet address. Sorry my friends, I can't afford to send such programs via U.S. Post Office. WINDOWS 3.0 or 3.1 ------------------ 1. Use the Windows Terminal Program provided with Windows. NOTE: The Terminal program will "work", but not as well as other communications software that support Windows. 2. Once you are in the TERMINAL program, choose FILES and then SAVE AS. Save the file as CALVARY.TRM and then choose save. CALVARY.TRM will now appear at the top of your Terminal Program Message Bar. 3. Choose SETTINGS. Choose TERMINAL EMULATION - Mark the DEC VT-100 (ANSI) option and press OK. 4. Choose SETTINGS Choose Terminal Preferences - Under "Terminal Modes", Unmark LINE WRAP Under "Terminal Font", Choose "Terminal" - You can play with the FONT later. - Under "Translations", MARK THE BOX "IBM to ANSI" - Under "Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys", - UNCHECK THIS BOX 5. Choose "OK" and you are now back at the Terminal Screen. 6. Let's SAVE our work so we don' have to do THAT again (SMILE). 7. Choose FILES, and then choose SAVE. You are back at the terminal screen. 8. Choose SETTINGS: Choose Communications - Under "Baud Rate", choose the fast baud rate supported by your modem. Check you modem's manual if you are unsure. - Make sure the following are correct: . Data Bits are 8 . Stop Bits are 1 . Parity is None . Flow Control is "Hardware" . Connector is "Whatever your Com Port is". This is usually ok. 9. Choose OK. You are now at the Terminal Window again. 10. Choose FILES and then SAVE. You are now back at the Terminal 11. LOOK AT THE END OF THIS FILE FOR A CALVARY NETWORK BBS PHONE NUMBER in your area. If you don't mind calling Long Distance, you will be using the 619-630-7437 Phone Number. 12. Choose SETTINGS. Choose PHONE NUMBER - Enter in the Calvary Chapel BBS System Phone number, including the area code. - Change the "TimeOut if not Connected" to 60 Seconds rather than the 30 defaulted. - Check the box labled REDIAL AFTER TIMING OUT. 13. CHOOSE OK. You are back at the Terminal Window. 14. Choose FILES and then SAVE. 15. Now let's try DIALing. CHOOSE PHONE, THEN DIAL. A box will appear and dial into the Calvary Chapel BBS System. You will hear a series of tones.. that is ok. Now... 16. Answer the qustions on your screen. Have fun! YAHOO! Once Connected and registered (FREE), look over the menu's on how to access the CALVARYNET Conferences. On The Shepherd's Flock Family BBS (619-630-7437), all you have to do is to type J for JOIN at the Main Menu Command, and wa-la, choose a CalvaryNet conference to communicate on. ========================== WINDOWS 95 ========================== 1. You can use either a DOS Communications program (within a DOS Window) or a Windows Communications program. Here we will cover using HYPERLINK Communications Software that comes with Windows95 2. Choose START (off the Start Menu) Choose PROGRAMS Choose ACCESSORIES - Choose HyperTerminal or HyperLink.. which ever applies. Choose Hypertrm.exe (if applicaple). IT will be the ICON with the computer and phone. Double click on that ICON. Hyperterminal will then load, and you will be at the "NEW CONNECTION" window. 3. Type in the "NAME" CalvaryNet - Optional: Highlight an ICON that you would like to use for this entry. I choose the MAILBOX and Yellow Phone ICON. 4. Click on the OKAY button. 5. You are now at the "PHONE NUMBER" box. LOOK at the BBS Numbers Provided at the end of this file and CHOOSE a CalvaryNet BBS number in your area. If you don't see your area listed, use the 619-630-7437 Number. Enter that number (area code included) into the "Area code" and "Phone Number" Fields now. Under "Connect Using"... ensure that Windows95 has displayed the actual modem you are using for your system. This is usually automatic, and does not need editing. Click on the OK button. 6. You are now at the "CONNECT" Box Your City should be in that box automaically. I think Windows95 gets that information from the Windows Program. CLICK on the DIALING PROPERTIES box next to "Your Location". If you are calling Long distance for that number, make sure that the "Dial As Long Distance Call" box has a check in it. They Click on "OK". You are back at the Connect Box. Choose DIAL.. and IMMEDIATELY CHOOSE CANCLE so it does NOT Actually place the call. You are at the HYPERTERMINAL screen... and "CalvaryNet" appears in the upper Right corner of the Message Bar. 7. Choose FILE, then choose SAVE. There.. now your work is saved. 8. Choose CALL and then CONNECT whenever you want to Call the CalvaryNet BBS, or.. double click on the CalvaryNet ICON within the HyperLink Program area. NOTE: HYPERLINK will display the graphics oddly on some BBS SYSTEMS.. including mine. I recommend usings another Communications program from within Windows. Once you have been able to connect with HyperLink, you can they use Hyperlink to download the CC-MAIL.ZIP and PKZ204g.exe programs from your CalvaryNet BBS system. That will give you a FREE Communications program as well as a FREE Off-Line Mail Reading program. There ya go! ========================================= FOR DOS ========================================= 1. Access the communications program that came with the modem you purchased, or.. that was available to you by another means. 2. OPTION #2: if you have an INTERNET ADDRESS, leave me an EMAIL message and I will send you a FREE DOS Communications program as well as an OFF-LINE MAIL READER. 3. After you have accessed the Communications program, ensure that it is configured properly. Check your manual for that particular communictions program ensuring that: a. it is accessing the proper communications port - USUALLY THIS IS ALREADY SET UP FOR YOU. This is an easy process. You will generally be choosing COM 1 or COM 2. If COM 1 does not work, simply try COM 2. b. make sure it is configured for N,8,1 (see your manual) c. make sure it is set to operate at the speed of your modem. Usually, 9600, 14400, 57600 or 28.8 baud. Check your manual to see what the highest baud rate your modem supports. 4. SEE THE END OF THIS TEXT FILE FOR A CALVARY CHAPEL BBS SYSTEM IN YOUR AREA. Write that number down. If you do not see a number listed in your City, use the 619-630-7437 number. We can chat later about using an OFF-LINE mail reader to quickly and inexpensively function on CalvaryNet for Long Distance Callers. 5. Access your modem's dialing feature. Use the EDIT feature or "Add" feature and add the phone number of the CalvaryNet number in your area. If it allows you to select a baud speed, choose the fastest speed that your modem supports. 6. Choose "DIAL", and your modem will now begin to "CALL" one of the Calvary Chapel BBS Systems. After your modem has connected, answer the questions that come up on the screen, {a password you want to use, etc}. 7. After you are freely registered on that Calvary Chapel BBS system, read the menu's and access the CONFERENCE AREAS (or "Forums"). Look for CALVARYNET. 8. You are now connected on a Calvary Chapel BBS SYSTEM. There is always an option to leave a message for the SYSOP (System Operator) if you have any problems navigating on that system.
