Every board below is the package's own program, installed the way its own installer or manual lays it out, with only what ATA's machine needs changed. Each chapter says what ATA set up, which account you start with, what the DOS page buttons do, what your callers meet, and the package's quirks worth knowing.
A few things are true of every board and are not repeated in each chapter:
- The starting SysOp account is listed on the install wizard's finish page with its password. Change the password first thing.
- D: is the board drive,
data/doorstore/dos/boardin your ATA folder. - The DOS page buttons are the package's own programs; leave each one through its own exit so it saves.
- Paging reaches you on the Watch page, and the Answer, Break in and Leave buttons press the package's own keys listed in each chapter.
- File transfers in the Xmodem, Ymodem and Zmodem families are answered by the caller's page itself.
- Doors: the door guide has the full LORD setup for each board.
