CONNECTING TO MICROCHIP BBS
Connect worldwide to the Microchip BBS using the
CompuServe
communications network. In most
cases a local call is your only expense. The Microchip
BBS connection does not use CompuServe member-
ship services, therefore
you do not need CompuServe
membership to join Microchip's BBS
There is
no charge
for connecting to the BBS,
except for a toll charge to the CompuServe access
number, where applicable. You do not need to be a
CompuServe member to take advantage of this con-
nection (you never actually log in to CompuServe).
The procedure to connect will vary slightly from country
to country. Please check with your local CompuServe
agent for details if you have a problem. CompuServe
service allows multiple users at baud rates up to 14400
bps.
The following connect procedure applies in most loca-
tions:
1.
Set your modem to 8 bit, No parity, and One stop
(8N1). This is not the normal CompuServe set-
ting which is 7E1.
2.
Dial your local CompuServe access number.
3.
Depress
<ENTER
>
and a garbage string will
appear because CompuServe is expecting a
7E1 setting.
4.
Type
+,
depress
<ENTER
will appear.
5.
Type
MCHIPBBS,
depress
you will be connected to the Microchip BBS.
In the United States, to find CompuServe's phone num-
ber closest to you, set your modem to 7E1 and dial
(800) 848-4480 for 300-2400 baud or (800) 331-7166
