Thanks for asking, Bob. The Dock! modem number is 510-676-5359. He should set his baud to at least 2400, tops 14.4 or 28.8 depending on the modem he eventually enters ... 14.4 for now. Internet e-mail? No problem ... we move tons of it daily. When you (he) logs on, he will be asked for his name, i.e. richard hanson, or bob olken, etc., just a first and last name seperated by a single space. Okay? Once online, his local (on The Dock!) e-mail address is his name, just like it is, here. Now ... here's the magic. His local e-mail address automatically becomes his internet e-mail address as well, i.e. richard.hanson@pcld.com, or bob.olken@pcld.com, etc. Notice that the space seperating the first and last names is replaced with a period. Then, @pcld.com is appended to the firstname.lastname character string. One last point: KISS ...it's just e-mail! If your firends name is Barthalemule S. Q. Le Beefcake, Jr., Ph.D., master of the Q.E.2., and grand poophead of local 2270, tell him to swallow his pride and use just: Bart LeBeefcake Hope this helps. -Rick-
