Additional Information
- The FirstClass Client for DOS is run by typing the following at the DOS command line prompt:
FCCLIENT
You will then need to select the settings file to you via the File->Open Settings menu item.
You could also run the FirstClass Client for DOS using a specific settings file document by typing the following at the DOS command line prompt:
FCCLIENT xxx.FC
Where xxx.FC is the name of a settings file document found in the SETTINGS directory of the FCCDOS installation.
- There are two example settings files for the DOS client in the SETTINGS directory (IPX.FC and MODEM.FC). These can be edited with the DOS EDIT command. You will need to enter at least the FirstClass Server name in these files.
- If you are using the MODEM.FC settings file to connect via modem, you will also need to modify the type of modem you use in the MODEM.FCP file (found in the FCP directory of the FCCDOS installation). In the MODEM.FCP file, find the line which starts with the keyword SCRIPT, and modify the entry to that of a .MDM file (found in the MODEMS directory of the FCCDOS installation) which matches your modem type.
e.g.
SCRIPT = "HAYES_24.MDM"
