What is PCP? PCP stands for PC Pursuit. This is an online service which
for a nominal fee allows you to call almost anywhere in the continential US.
The main restriction is that you must call via data, i.e. a modem. What you
must do is call the node nearest you and then follow the instructions in the
next section.

Instructions:
When you connect with the TeleNet node type "@<CR>" (<CR> stands for
Carriage Return). Hit return until you get the prompt "@". This is the
telenet prompt. At the telenet prompt you may do one of the following:
1> Hang-Up. Simply type "HANG<CR>"
2> Connect with an outdial.
3> Disconnect with an outdial. Simply type "D<CR>"
4> Use the various set commands. (This will be covered in the
next issue of PCP list)
Connecting with an Outdial:
At the "@" prompt type the following:
C D/XXXXX/YY,PCPZZZZZ
XXXXX = Outdial Specifier (PCP on the lisings)
YY = Baud Rate
ZZZZZ = Your PCP User Number
You will then be prompted for you password. If the password is
correct you will be given one of the following:
D/XXXXX,YY BUSY 00 00 (The Outdial is busy)
(^^ ^^ these vary)
D/XXXXX,YY CONNECTED (You are connected to the Outdial)
D/XXXXX,YY NOT OPERATING 00 00 (The Outdial is under repair)
Once connected to an Outdial you must type: "ATZ<CR>" "<Control-E><CR>"
You should then get the "*" prompt from here you can do 5 things:
1> Dial. Simply type "D,NNNNNNN<CR>" (NNNNNNN = Phone Number)
2> Re-Dial. Simply type "R<CR>". You will be prompted for # of
redials.
3> Return to the TeleNet Prompt. Simple type "@<CR>"
4> Get a menu. Simply type "?<CR>".
5> Set parameters. Type "O<CR>".
(If you know how to use these, please leave me mail on one
