Subject: GTE Telenet PC Pursuit - additional info available

GTE Telenet has an 800 number to call for more information on "PC
Pursuit".  It turned out to be a modem connected to a "FIDO" bbs
system.  I downloaded all the info files and made a transcript of the
terminal session.  It's available from SIMTEL20 as:

Filename                       Type     Bytes   CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.GENDOC>
PCPURSUT.LBR.1                 BINARY   13184  FC34H

If you are unable to access Simtel-20 because of network restrictions
this file is available for downloading (using the XMODEM protocol) on
my RCPM Royal Oak (MI) which may be accessed at 300 baud using the
103a modem mode or 1200 baud using either the 212a or Vadic 3400
modes.  The telephone number is (313) 759-6569.  The file is on the D:
drive.

Additional notes: There is a one-time sign-up fee of $25 for "PC
Pursuit".  Also, it's unlikely that you'll be able to access bbs
systems in the distant city if they are "message-unit" calls for the
Telenet dial-out node.  Unfortunately this IS the case here in the
Detroit area where my RCPM is located.  PC Pursuit users will probably
not be able to access it since it's a "near-zone" message unit call
from the Telenet node.

The GTE Telenet FIDO number is (800) 835-3001.
