Access to ADP Autonet Via Telenet, Tymnet, and Datapac
ADP Autonet interconnects with other public data networks (PDNs)
to extend its data communications services to hundreds more loca-
tions. These Third Party Networks include Telenet, Tymnet, and
Datapac. The networks support a wide range of interactive ASCII
terminals communicating at speeds up to 2400 Baud over dial-up
lines.
A complete, up-to-date list of Autonet and extended access num-
bers is available under the selection "PHONE" in Autonet's on-
line information directory, AID. In addition, Autonet publishes
and distributes these lists occasionally throughout the year.
They can be obtained from your Autonet Sales Specialist.
If you encounter any problems gaining network access, please con-
tact Autonet's Network Control Center by our toll-free WATS line,
1-800-521-2733, outside of Michigan, or by our Ann Arbor,
Michigan number, 1-313-995-6595.

10: Change to Third-Party Access Response
ITEM(S): 10
NEWS Item: 10
Users who access Autonet via third-party networks (Telenet,
Tymnet, or Datapac), will now notice an improvement in the
response they receive to the input of a carriage return.
Specifically, where Telenet users formerly experienced a delay in
the Line Feed following input of a carriage return, they will now
see the Line Feed occur immediately. Where Tymnet and Datapac
users formerly experienced a double Line Feed (one immediate and
one delayed) as well as possible double echo, they will now see a
single Line Feed occur immediately, and no double echo.
This recent software enhancement makes all three networks con-
sistent in appearance. AID information files on each network now
reflect these changes.
PLEASE NOTE: In all three cases, the default setting of $$ECHO 0
is assumed; any change to this parameter will likely result in
double echo.
Additionally, the impending implementation of the X.75 gateway to
the Datapac network may again alter access procedures and
responses for users of this network. You will be notified when
that occurs, and the information will appear in the AID program.

Trouble Reporting Procedures
If you encounter Autonet access or Autonet response problems,
please report them to the ADP Network Control Center by our WATS
line, 1-800-521-2733, or by our Ann Arbor number, 1-313-995-6595.
If you have successfully gained access to Autonet, but are dis-
connected, report the information in the following items 1
through 9 to the person in your organization who handles Autonet
matters.
Two important points to remember:
1. Leave the access line open if possible, and call from another
line. This will help us solve the problem more quickly and
easily.
2. If you are using a video display terminal, write down the
Autonet line number if you receive it. If you have
established access through another network, take note of that
line number also. This information is important for resolving
your problem.
