# Bulletin Board System (BBS)

Madge Networks maintains a free 24-hour Bulletin Board System (BBS) that provides the latest software and technical support information.

You need a modem to access the BBS. We recommend you use an ANSI (VT100) terminal emulator (for example, ProComm) with your serial port set to: 8-bit data, NO parity check, and ONE stop bit. This is because it is likely that any other setup will cause transmission errors. The BBS supports modem speeds of up to 14 400 baud (with MNP5). Download protocols supported are X Modem, Y Modem, and Z Modem.

Because the BBS is an open system, anyone can log in. The first time that you log in, the system prompts you for your name and for a password. It also asks you to complete a brief questionnaire. Please take the time to complete the questionnaire. The system displays Madge’s license agreement and asks you to acknowledge it.

When you log in on subsequent occasions, make sure you enter the same name and password that you entered when you first logged in. The system tells you the last time that you logged in, asks whether you want to read the bulletins, and tells you whether there are any new mail messages for you.
