>> QXRCPM05.LST : Remote CP/M-TP/M Systems List # 5 << >>> 03/01/87 revision by Barry Miller <<< The QX - Remote CP/M, T/PM Systems List is a collaborative work of Barry Miller, Charles Zurenko and Norm Gregory. Editors & publishers please note this list is (c) 1987 and the authors must be contacted prior to any reproduction (partial or whole) of this list in any book, magazine or periodical that is sold on a COMMERCIAL basis. A summary of all known operating EPSON REMOTE CP/M, TP/M systems which use Christensen protocol, (XMODEM),for file transfers and are available to the general public for the exchange of public domain software. *** Although most systems contained in this list operate on Epson *** equipment, the use of Epson equipment is NOT a list requirement. The authors make NO representations as to the degree to which any system listed supports Epson Computers. It is our belief that the systems listed, maintain at least ONE user area devoted to Epson oriented software. This list is updated quarterly. Please use the most recent to avoid ill- placed calls. Lists are published on a rotating schedule beginning with the current author (see above) and continuing to the next on the list: Barry Miller, Charlie Zurenko, Norm Gregory, Barry, etc.. List are put out around the 1st day of each quarter but the actual date may differ. Check with the next scheduled author. If sufficient activity warrants, lists will be released with greater frequency. NEXT THREE LISTS >>> 06 - Norm Gregory 06/87 07 - Barry Miller 09/87 08 - Charlie Zurenko 12/87 ** SPECIAL NOTICE TO SYSOPS: Please inform Barry, Charlie or Norm of any changes in your system to avoid being removed from the list, which is verified periodically.

Call-back systems are those where a computer and real people share the same telephone line. To contact the people, just dial & let the phone ring until you get an answer. To contact the computer: A) dial, B) let the phone ring once, C) hang up just before the 2nd ring, & D) re-dial. 2. Note that the 212A/Vadic 1200 baud modems may not be compatable with yours. Some of the above systems are using Vadic 3451 Triple modems, compatable with both Bell and Vadic Standard. Sign on the first time at 300 baud to determine system capabilities. Note also that PMMI's can sometimes be used over 300 baud with 1200 baud systems. PMMI baud rates are: 110, 300, 450, 600, 710 and are indicated above as "1-7". Most of the 2400 baud systems are using U.S. Robotics Courier Modems. Thank you, US Robotics. 3. Use of an alternative long-distance service should be considered when planning to modem over long programs. (Note, however, that you may not be able to dial a system in Alaska, Hawaii or Canada depending on the service you get and sometimes you may have trouble connecting at 1200 or 2400 baud.) 4. Total on-line disk capacity is shown for reference. Check the system documentation for exact details when logging on. 5. All times listed are local time, please observe operating hours for systems with scheduled availability. 6. If you find any errors in this listing, (or systems which do not support XMODEM protocol for file transfers), please forward the information to one of the systems listed at the top. 7. Some of the private/semi-private systems will allow System Operators access to the system. Each private/semi-private system has different rules regarding access. Contact the System Operator first for details of system access, cost, etc.
