TF User 5.0.2 Getting Start

Using the BBS with TeleFinder/User TeleFinder/User is an application that connects your Macintosh to a TeleFinder bulletin board system (BBS). TeleFinder/User requires a Macintosh Plus or higher, and Apple’s System 7.0 or higher. 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 confer- ence forum, provide electronic mail service, and store files to be transferred. 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 earlier system software TeleFinder will emulate the Finder desktop to provide the drag-and-drop capability. TeleFinder also includes a text editor, address book, and a mail outbox for automating the pickup and delivery of mail.
