Idle Time is 20 minutes. That means if you're logged on to the system and you don't hit a "key stroke" within (19 minutes and 59 seconds) the system will log you off. So, if you are using Eudora and typing a long email I would suggest maybe use your browser every once in a while to avoid getting logged off.

On the first screen, after login, select: Main menu, About Your account/Manage your Files, Password Administration. Follow the instructions, slowly and carefully, and you will change your password. It will take effect immediately. Passwords can only be changed during a text session.

You should have received a sheet called "Windows 95/98 PPP Information follow it and it will help you out. If you don't have this sheet please either call 263-8080 or email the office at office@calcna.ab.ca for it. Here are a few links that are very useful: Windows 95 PPP installation instructions. or PPP Setup information.

Its because we are actually on top of a shell based system called "Unix" which has a bug that sometimes say you have new mail when actually you don't. Hopefully, when we upgrade our system later on it will be fixed.

This person isn't actually using your account. This problem is caused by the previous user disconnected without first logging off. Then sometimes the modem hangs up, and picks up the next call and directs it back to the same port. However, the server just thinks the input is idle and has kept the session open waiting for an input. So it thinks that the same user is trying to log in a second time, even though it is supposed to be your login. SOLUTION: Is to wait 20 minutes and try again it usually works.

Your email address is your login name and calcna.ab.ca. For example, our login name is help desk so our email address would be helpdesk@calcna.ab.ca. When you write email to someone your email will be shown to the person you sent the email too but when you compose a message you won't see your email address.

We never sell any of our members to companies that does spamming. If you have a public web page or if you ever posted on the newsgroups you will get more SPAM than usual. SPAM can't be stopped we could minimize the damage but that's all we can do.

The best way is to find a cyber-cafe or if you have a Internet connect ask them if they allow telnet. Usually they do...so if you or they have Windows 95/98, then try this:
Run your browser on the location type:
telnet://calcna.ab.ca

and press enter, then login as you would normally would or click on start, run, type telnet calcna.ab.ca and click ok.

You would need to be a member and have paid an additional $55.00 or $105.000 for unlimited dialup access.  You can make your own web page. Just go to: How to make a home page.

When we upgraded our Lynx we naturally inherited some of the bugs and one of them is removing bookmarks. If you really want to remove bookmarks and you are pretty good at computers. Then give this a try.
View your bookmarks, type "E" for edit and you will see a HTML Document.
Each bookmark would look like this:
(li)(a href="whatever.html")Whatever(/a)
So if you want to delete some bookmarks then cursor down to the link that you want deleted and delete the whole line from (li) to (/a). After you are down modifying your bookmarks press "ctrl-x" then "Y" and enter to save the document.
