7-6 If You Need Help
What is the BBS?
The BBS is a remote database containing files devoted to
enhancing the maintenance and functionality of NEC’s
products. It is a non-commercial system and its services
are organized into straightforward menus that include:
■ A Message Menu containing an interactive e-mail
network that lets you leave messages for members of
the NEC support staff and correspond with other
BBS members.
■ A Bulletin Menu that contains online help, important
NEC Technologies’ phone numbers, and a selection of
useful files and utilities available for downloading.
These files include:
BIOS update files
Driver files for CD-ROMs, video boards, and printers
Replacement set-up disks.
■ A Door Menu that makes it possible to run external
programs online.
How Do You Use the BBS?
To access the BBS, you need a computer, modem, and
communications software. The communications software
allows you to transfer files (download or upload) through
the modem to and from a remote system.
If the phone you are using with your modem has call-
waiting, disable it while using the modem. The beep that
signals another call can be interpreted by the system as a
break signal and result in a disconnect. To disable the call
waiting feature on your telephone, press
*70.
