Making Your First Connection
Use the connection you created in the Hyper Terminal program to dial the ZyXEL BBS.
If you are using a different terminal program, run the program according to the
instructions provided with it.
Start the terminal program by double-clicking the Test Connection icon. When the
terminal window appears, enter the dial command with ZyXEL’s BBS
(+88635776274) as the phone number.
Type:
ATDT<Phone number> <enter>
The modem will go off-hook, dial the number, and after a few seconds of negotiation
tones, you should be connected to our BBS.
You will receive a login message asking for your name. For the purposes of this
example you need not continue. Just click the “disconnect” icon on the toolbar.
