Equipment and Software Requirements
-----------------------------------
To use PC PURSUIT, all you need are --
- a telephone line
- a modem - 300 or 1200 or 2400bps
- a terminal or a PC with asynchronous communications software
PARAMETERS:
-----------
Communication parameters for your hardware should be set-up
consistent with the PC or BBS or host computer you wish to dial.
FILE TRANSFERS:
---------------
Most transfer protocols are compatible with PC PURSUIT.
Across SPRINTNET'S Public Data Network, PC PURSUIT transmits
data utilizing 8 bit transparency. Due to XMODEM'S use of
single block by block acknowledgement of data sent, XMODEM
file transfers can take slightly longer. There are
however, more efficent transfer protocols such as KERMIT,
SUPER KERMIT and YMODEM.
You can dial into SprintNet as 7-E-1 or 8-N-1. If you dial
in at 7-E-1, you can switch your parameters to 8-N-1 with
your software to prepare for a file transfer. Or, dial
SprintNet at 8-N-1 to begin with, using these steps --
1) Dial your SprintNet local access number with your settings
at 8-N-1 and 2400 bps.
2) Enter @ D (cr)
3) At "Terminal = ", enter D1 (cr)
4) proceed with your session....
