D004: Information pack and user manual for Compuserve services

Download D004.ZIP

Date prepared: January 1997

Abstract:

This information pack and manual has been designed as a series of three practical lessons to help you become familiar with the primary telematic tools provided by the CompuServe platform and the Telework Europa Forum.

The CompuServe platform is particularly suited to the needs of people who move around the world, or work as part of an international team. It has access points (nodes) throughout the world and uses an eight bit protocol which is compatible with modern computers. CompuServe is an "On-Line-Service" provider with a range of dedicated services, as opposed to an Internet access provider who merely provides local access to the Internet. The main drawer-back of using CompuServe (or America On Line which provides a comparable service) is cost. These service providers charge on the basis of connection time rather than a flat annual or monthly rate. For this reason these lessons are designed to help you use the minimum of connection time whilst obtaining the maximum benefit of the tools provided.
