USER DATA CONFIGURATION MENU
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────


A: YOUR NAME FOR PCBOARD
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Enter the name you have registered with the System you are calling.


B: SYSTEM ID OF THE BBS
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If you are using ACCESS/MAIL, enter an ID Name for the System you are calling.

If  you are using a Mail Door, then this must be the official  <SYSTEM_ID>  of 
the  System  you are calling, since it will look for the  Mail  Packets  files 
created by this System. If you are calling a board for the first time, you can 
obtain  this information by doing a manual download first. The file you  down-
load will be in the form <SYSTEM_ID>.<ext>.

ACCESS maintains a list of all the <SYSTEM_ID>'s of the BBSes you have Config-
ured in the file AXS.ID.


C: MAIL DIRECTORY
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The  directory where you want your Mail Packets to go and where  your  Message 
Packets  are  located. ACCESS supports one directory for both  files.  If  you 
currently  maintain separate directories for Mail and Message files, you  will 
need to change your Mail reader configuration.

ACCESS will format your entry for you, so relax and just enter your  directory 
in  any form you wish. For example, C:\MAIL or \MAIL\ or just plain  MAIL  are 
all acceptable and will be reformatted to \MAIL.


D: MAIL DRIVE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Enter  the  drive where your mail directory is located. Just enter  the  drive 
letter and ACCESS will format it for you.


E: TELIX DIALING DIRECTORY ENTRIES TO CALL
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Enter the Dialing Directory Entries for the System you are configuring. If you 
wish to view the Dialing Directory, press <ENTER>. To exit the Dialing  Direc-
tory  and  return to editing your Profile, press <ESC>. Separate  the  entries 
with  a space. You may use approximately 20 entries. It's a good idea to  make 
certain  that there is a linked script entry in the Dialing Directory,  other-
wise  Telix will wait for you to press a key after it has made  a  connection. 
The  linked  script may be a dummy name, if you don't use a logon  script  for 
that entry. AXSON.SLC is a good choice. 


F: MAIN CONFERENCE COMMAND TO ACCESS MAIL
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This  is the command to enter the mail Door from the Main  Conference  Prompt. 
Some  Systems require you to <J>oin a Conference before opening the  Door.  In 
that  case enter: J <x> q, where x is the Conference to <J>oin and q means  no 
greeting is displayed. For example, to <J>oin Conference 3, enter "J 3 q".  If 
that  is not required simply enter the command to open the  appropriate  door, 
usually DOOR <x> or OPEN <x>, where <x> is the Mail Door number.

Alternatively,  you may use this entry to <J>oin the Conference in  which  you 
wish  to  remain if you choose to stay online after the  ACCESS  session.  For 
example,  you wish to remain online after ACCESS but want to be in  Conference 
23.  When  you enter "J 23 q" here, you will logon, <J>oin Conference  23  and 
then  Open the Mail Door. After the Mail Door is finished you will  return  to 
Conference 23.

This  feature is especially useful for those Systems which have  disabled  the 
autojoin function.


G: DOOR TO OPEN FROM THE MAIL CONFERENCE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If the System you are configuring requires you to <J>oin a Conference and then 
<OPEN> a Door, or you automatically logon to a specific conference, enter  the 
door to <OPEN>. Use a valid door here, because ACCESS looks at this entry when 
you  start  ACCESS online and it finds itself in a Conference other  than  the 
Main Board.


H: LANGUAGE OPTION 
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Enter  the Language of your choice. Although not listed in  the  configuration 
screen,  you may enter any number between 0 and 9 supported by the System  you 
are calling.

It is critical that those Systems which have modified their prompts provide  a 
Default  PCBoard  Prompts language option. This may be stated in the  form  of 
Default Prompts, Standard Prompts or Prompts for Scripting. Choose this option 
if it is available.


I: PCBOARD GRAPHICS <Y OR N> 
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If you want Graphics enter a <Y>, otherwise enter <N>.


J: DELAY TIME <10 = 1 SECOND>
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

You  can control the delay time that ACCESS waits before sending the  response 
to a prompt. Increase the value here if you find that ACCESS isn't  responding 
to the prompts properly. A value of 10 is 1 second. The fastest speed is 1.


K: AUTOPILOT MAXIMUM TIME ONLINE IN MIN.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

When  in AUTOPILOT MODE, ACCESS will disconnect after the time you enter  here 
has  elapsed.  This is especially important when using  AUTOPILOT  unattended, 
since  line  noise or other problems may cause you to hang. The  clock  starts 
when you receive a carrier. You should not set this value too short or you may 
not  be able to complete a full session, especially when you are  transferring 
files.

INTERACTIVE MODE defaults to 240 minutes.


L: PROMPTED OPTION MODE <Y OR N>
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Selecting  <Y>  here  will enable the opening questions.  Selecting  <N>  will 
disable them. An AUTOPILOT run will automatically bypass the questions whether 
or not you have selected Prompted Option Mode but it will obey the Options you 
have  configured under Item <F> from the previous menu. It is a good  idea  to 
have one Profile with Prompted Option Mode enabled and one without.


M: RENUMBER MAIL PACKETS <Y OR N>
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

You may choose to have your mail packets saved and renumbered in order to keep 
previous messages. If you answer <N>, your previous mail packet will be delet-
ed before a new download.

Answering <Y> here will enable renumbering. For example:

     <SYSTEM_ID>.QWK  becomes 1<SYSTEM_ID>.QWK
     1<SYSTEM_ID>.QWK becomes 2<SYSTEM_ID>.QWK
     .
     .
     <max>-1<SYSTEM_ID>.QWK becomes <max><SYSTEM_ID>.QWK
     <old_max><SYSTEM_ID>.QWK is deleted


N: MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MAIL PACKETS TO KEEP
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This  sets  the <max> value for the renumbering of your mail packets.  If  you 
select  5,  then the highest file kept will be 5<SYSTEM_ID>, allowing  you  to 
have 5 archives and one current file.


O: RENUMBER REPLY PACKETS <Y OR N>
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

You may choose to maintain an archive of your reply packets in the same way as 
your mail packets.


P: MAXIMUM NUMBER OF REPLY PACKETS TO KEEP
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This sets the <max> value for renumbering your reply packets.


Q: PROTOCOL Z = ZMODEM, 1 = XMODEM-1k
   G = XMODEM-1k-g, X = XMODEM, Y = Ymodem-g, E = EXT.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Select  the protocol you wish Telix to use here. When using ACCESS/MAIL,  this 
must match the default protocol selected on PCBoard. However, if your  default 
protocol is <NONE>, the appropriate protocol will be selected automatically by 
ACCESS/ONLINE.  

If  you are using a Mail Door, it's not necessary to configure the  Mail  Door 
with  the same protocol since ACCESS/ONLINE sends the selected  protocol  com-
mand. For maximum security, use Zmodem. Auto Zmodem backup can save a download 
aborted by a protocol timeout.

To  use  DSZ, external Zmodem, select E. You will be prompted  for  the  Telix 
Protocol  Letter  you have assigned to DSZ. ACCESS/ONLINE 1.00 will  call  the 
external  protocol  and turn control over to it. No attempt is made  to  check 
that your batch files are sending the correct command line to DSZ. If you  are 
using  an  un-registered version of DSZ, your mail packets or  files  will  be 
downloaded  to the directory in which you have place DSZ. ACCESS's pathing  to 
the  correct directories will NOT work. However, registered DSZ  will  support 
the correct paths.

ACCESS/ONLINE 1.00 expects the DSZ Commands to be:

DSZ port %2 speed %1 rz -rrm %3    (Download)
DSZ port %2 speed %1 sz %3         (Upload)


R: AUTOPILOT REDIAL ATTEMPT LIMIT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

When  in  AutoPilot  Mode, Telix will redial the numbers in the  list  to  the 
maximum  number of redials you enter here. If you entered a value of  20  here 
and  the numbers were always busy, Telix will redial the numbers on  the  list 
for a total of 20 attempts.

Enter a <0> here to dial indefinitely. Maximum value is 999.

Press <ESC> to return to the previous menu.
