Our main service is providing you with a fast, reliable web server, however we do have several 28.8 USRobotics modems. The phone number for this service is 408-863-4844. Many of our clients use an Internet Service Provider for their main internet access and only use our dialup as a backup when their ISP is down.
There are two types of connections you can make with our modems:A terminal connection will allow you to use our servers from remote. It is very similar to a telnet connection. To connect, dial 408-863-4844 with a terminal program like Procom, Qmodem, Terminal, Microphone... When you see a "login:" prompt enter your username and "password:" your password. You can transfer files through this connection with the Zmodem protocol.
To send a file from your computer to our server type rz at the unix prompt, then tell your terminal program to send via Zmodem (This procedure is different for each terminal program).
To send a file from our server to your computer type sz -b [filename] This might automatically trigger your terminal program to recieve the file, or you may have to tell your terminal program to recieve via Zmodem.
PPP is a facility that runs the Internet standard TCP/IP protocol over a serial point-to-point link such as the phone line connecting your machine to our server. PPP software lets your machine speak the Internet language and run multiple TCP/IP applications such as Netscape and Eudora at the same time, when dialed up through the PPP link.
