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....
