NOPLINE INSTRUCTIONS

1. You must have a modem that operates at at least 1200 baud. The system operates best with a baud rate between 2400 and 9600, We recommend that you set your configuration for 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no parity.

2. Set your terminal emulation for VT-100. 3. The phone number of the service is 595-8930. After your modem connects with ours, a Login prompt should appear; enter nopline (lowercase.letters) and carriage return. If you are asked for a password, it means that the system did not understand what was typed at Login. Enter return twice and try again.

4. After you pass the Login screen choose your terminal emulation. Select VT-100 from the list.
