TELECOM
Telecom lets you communicate with a host computer, information
service, or another terminal. You can set up communications set-
tings to match those of the host you plan to contact. With the
automatic logon function, you can create an auto logon file contain-
ing the information needed to automatically dial and sign on to an
information service such as Dow Jones. Information you receive can
be saved, printed, or stored on diskette for later reference. You can
also
upload
(send) files to other computers and terminals.
This sample session shows how to use Telecom with a telecommunica-
tions service. It will be necessary to modify the instructions
to
fit
your situation.
Be sure that your computer is properly connected to a telephone
using
a
modem or an acoustic coupler.
To select Telecom from the Main Menu, position the marker over
Telecom, and press
(ENTERI.
The screen soon shows the default set-
tings for communications.

If you are using
a
non-auto dialing modem, you do not need to change
the default response for the first setting or read the instructions for
auto dialing modems. Proceed directly to the section describing the
rest of the communications settings on the Telecom status screen.
