Mai 2020 About TeleFinder/User TeleFinder/User is a Macintosh application that connects your Macintosh to a TeleFinder bulletin board system (BBS). TeleFinder requires a Macintosh Plus, or higher, and a Hayes-compatible modem. Through your TeleFinder/User-BBS interface, you’ll find business services, customer support, as well as “friendly chat.” A BBS can also serve as a conference forum, provide electronic mail service, and store files to transfer. The individual or company operating the BBS ( the Sysop ) determines which services to offer its callers. The Sysop also decides whether the BBS will be open to public use, or kept for private use. TeleFinder provides an easy to use interface to work with files, mail and messages by simply clicking and dragging icons. With System 7.5 TeleFinder uses your Finder desktop to provide easy “drag-and-drop” file transfer. With earlier system software TeleFinder must emulate the Finder desktop to provide drag-and-drop capability. TeleFinder also includes a text editor, address book, and a mail outbox for automating the pickup and delivery of mail. What is this guide for? This guide helps you get up and running with TeleFinder/User quickly. Getting Started presents a condensed version of the steps you need to take to make a connection to a TeleFinder BBS.
