PSS Dialplus provides extensive 'local call' coverage through a network of over 60 access points, enabling Campus Gold to provide you with a further choice of access methods. It is also extremely easy to use. CONNECTING TO CAMPUS GOLD VIA PSS DIALPLUS 1. Set up your communication software or modem to dial a PSS DIALPLUS number. 2. When the call is connected, a welcome screen will appear and you will be prompted for a password. PASSWORD is GOLD01 As you type in the password, the characters will be masked by asterisks. If the password is incorrectly entered you will be prompted to enter it again. However, if the password is incorrectly typed on three consecutive occasion the call will be discontinued. 3. PSS Dialplus will connect you immediately to Campus Gold system and you will be prompted for your ID and password in the normal way. The screen will show PSS DIALPLUS dialing and connecting to the CAMPUS GOLD SYSTEM : Calling 23421920100401 Connected to 23421920100401 Welcome to Campus System 01 Please sign on > 4. type in your usual Campus Gold ID and PASSWORD. 5. When you log off from Campus Gold, you will be automatically disconnected from the PSS Dialplus service. If you have any difficulty accessing Campus Gold via PSS Dialplus please contact our helpline on 01-782-7615 or TCD029. >logout Off At 20:07 10/02/90 GMT Time used: 00h 02m connect, 00m 03s CPU, 00m 00s I/O.

The problem with Dialplus seems to be that it asks for passwords instead of NUI's. If anyone manages to make the system accept NUI's in the normal PSS manner than please let me know. Since TTNS (Campus 2000) is on Telecom Gold system 01, it's logical to assume that the other Gold systems (72-87) can be called this way (though I've been unable to try this) Which brings another point. The Nottingham node is often engaged - presumably the system is on a single phone line. So if you get the busy tone, keep trying! If you have questions/comments/suggestions/discoveries/passwords or anything else of interest about PSS Dialplus, please leave a message for 'Boris' on GoobTel (0602-706307; V21/23) - thanks! Bye for now, and keep on hacking! Boz... Downloaded From P-80 Systems 304-744-2253
