- GETTING READY FOR OPUS(tm)
-
- READY OPUS(tm) has been designed to take into account the nearly
- TO limitless variety of hardware/software combinations it is
- GO likely to encounter. Although OPUS(tm) itself was designed
- around the IBM hardware structure, it is accessible from
- nearly any combination of hardware and software currently
- available. You will find there are very minimal requirements
- needed to use OPUS(tm) and its varied services.

- HARDWARE Hardware and Software
- ---------------------
-
- On the hardware side, nearly anything will do. A PC is fine. So
- is a dumb terminal of just about any variety. Since
- OPUS(tm) supports ANSI color graphics as an option, you will
- find it more fun to use hardware which will also support this
- capability.

- SOFTWARE
- A good communications software package is a must for any serious
- "BBsing". Fortunately there are a number of good programs
- available both commercially and in the Public Domain. Among the
- better software we have used is PROCOMM, PIBTERM, and QMODEM.
- These can be found on most Bulletin Boards or from many
- User's Groups. Each works extremely well with the various
- OPUS(tm) file transfer protocols.

- What To Expect From OPUS(tm)
- ----------------------------
-
- WHAT By now we hope you have a good general feeling about OPUS(tm).
- TO But what can you expect when calling an OPUS(tm) system for
- EXPECT the first time? With very little humility we say, "the
- VERY best integrated Bulletin Board/Electronic Mail system
- around". If you are actively involved in any form of EM
- from Personal Computer to Personal Computer then OPUS(tm) will
- prove ideal. If you love to immerse yourself in the nearly
- limitless inventory of Public Domain software, you will
- find OPUS(tm) both powerful and sophisticated.
-
- But, above all its other benefits, OPUS(tm) is friendly and
- easy to use. Our system has been designed with a high level
- of appeal in mind. It is flexible enough to make the new
- user feel at home and can be modified online to
- accommodate the most demanding requirements of speed.
-
- We think that once you have used an OPUS(tm) system you'll be
- hooked on its many features.
