The AGILE Bulletin Board System
To upload files or download a new configuration, call the AGILE BBS:
1. Load the communications software.
2. Set up the modem:
• Baud rate: Fastest setting available (AGILE supports speeds of up
to 28.8 with both V.FC and V.34 modems)
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Parity: None
3. Dial 15107248073. If using a line with Call Waiting, dial
*70,15107248073 to disable Call Waiting.
4. As prompted by the bulletin board, enter the following:
• First name
• Last name
• “Y” to confirm name
• Password
• Re-enter password
• “C” to continue
• Company name
• Voice phone number
5. Now answer a few questions about your system:
• Hot keys (Y/N) allow options to be selected without pressing Enter
• Color menus — “A” = auto-detect
• Default editor mode — “F” = full screen (if the user has ANSI
terminal emulation); “L” = line edit (if the user does not have
ANSI terminal emulation)
• Protocol for file transfers — the preferred file transfer protocol is
ZMODEM (“Z”), but the user may also use any of the other
protocols displayed on the screen.
6. The bulletin board will then ask if you want to display the Bulletin menu
(Y/N), inform you that you have no personal mail, and after you press
Enter, will display the Main menu.
