[3.1.19] - REMOTE ACCESS


INTRODUCTION TO REMOTE ACCESS
-------------------------------
The Remote Access BBS-package has been written by Andrew
Milner, and is released by Wantree Development. The current
version of Remote Access (RA) is 2.01.

RemoteAccess should run on any IBM 80x86 compatible computer.
The only two programs you will need in addition to the release
package are DOS 3.x and a FOSSIL driver (the FOSSIL is a
memory-resident program that many communications packages use
to communicate with the modem). Two FOSSILs that have been
successfully tested with RemoteAccess are Ray Gwinn's X00, and
David Nugent's BNU. Either of these should be readily available
from any local bulletin board. You will also need a modem that
is capable of accepting Hayes-type commands. The minimum memory
requirement is approximately 350K, but 512K is recommended.

FEATURES
----------
The archive containing the Shareware version of Remote Access
doesn't contain a separate list of features. The registered
version does. It has one at the beginning of the manual that is
sent to you after registration. You should keep in mind that
this list is taken from the manual of the professional version,
which differs from the registered shareware version in a few
respects. Please refer to the registration topic of this
section for an overview of the extra features of the
professional version.

To find out which features aren't available in the
non-registered version, you'll have to skim through the RA.DOC
file you'll find in the RA_201 archive. The non-registered
version isn't crippled in any way. The only difference is, it
does not include a few features the registered version offers,
but does not interfere with the BBS operation.

REGISTRATION
---------------
You may try RA for a period of three weeks on a trial basis in
order to determine it's suitability for your particular
application. After this period you must register each copy of
Remote Access that you run simultaneously. Multi-line
installations that share a common file base and have the same
name need only register one copy. Site and Group registrations
are available, and are dealt with on a case by case basis.

Registration can be done in two ways, depending on the kind of
system you are running. There is a shareware and a professional
registration.

For a shareware registration a system must be physically run
from a noncommercial site. A site is considered to be
noncommercial only if it is a private residence at which no
commercial activities are conducted.

NOTE: As of this release, the shareware version only supports a
maximum of two (2) nodes. The Professional version supports up
to 250.

Shareware Registration can be done at the following sites, at
the following prices:

A professional registration applies to every system that is

private residence, or commercial activities are conducted at
the site). The professional version includes three modules that
are not available in the shareware version:

1. Real-Time Conferencing - supporting up to 250 users
   concurrently, featuring public/private/password-protected
   conferences, conference moderators and sub-conferences.


2. RANETMGR -  The RemoteAccess Network Manager, a utility
   designed to give you complete control over a busy multi-node
   system. Dynamically view the status of each node as users
   log on and off, what each user is doing, broadcast messages
   to any combination of nodes and automatically take any
   combination of nodes down for maintenance.

3. RAEdit - A fully functional, specially customised and
   registered version of GEdit, a premium full-screen message
   editor.

The professional version supports up to 250 nodes and 100
languages, while the shareware version supports a maximum of
eight languages and 2 nodes.
