MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE                                     BASIC OPERATION 
1. 
First a remote must establish a connection to your Mailbox, via your Pactor callsign. 
 
2. 
If your Pactor Mailbox is ON, then it will answer back with the Pactor Mailbox prompt: 
Mailbox Ready 
free de callsign (H(elp), K, L, R, S)> 
The n free is the amount of RAM space available for messages.  The n will be no higher than 
65K, if a 512K or a 128K Mailbox is in operation.  If the Mailbox is 32K then nn will be 
32K.  The de callsign is the callsign of your Pactor mailbox, that the mailbox sends back to 
the remote user. 
 
 
Once the remote user receives the the Pactor Mailbox prompt, the user must issue a 
changeover, CTRL-Y, to enter the Pactor Mailbox.  Now at this point all of the Mailbox are 
available to you.  You may then type K to kill a message, L to list all messages, R to read the 
messages, S to send a message, or H for the HELP menu. 
 
3. 
To send a message the S or the SP commands must be used.  The S or SP commands are 
used in conjunction with a callsign as in the examples below: 
S AA5XO  <ENTER>, this  will send an ordinary message to the callsign AA5XO. 
or 
 
SP AA5XO <ENTER>, this will send a private message to the callsign AA5XO. 
The Mailbox will respond with: 
Enter Subject: (Max. 40 Characters) 

 
The remote user will enter the message subject or title at cursor prompt, then press the 
<ENTER> key. 
The Mailbox will respond with: 
Send msg; Control-Z or /EX on it own line ends: 
__ 
The remote user will then enter the message at the cursor prompt.  The remote user needs to 
press the <ENTER> key after entering the message.  The remote user needs to enter /EX or 
CTRL-Z
, followed by a changeover, after the <ENTER> key press.  This will tell your 
Pactor mailbox to store the message, and to send the Pactor mailbox prompt back to the 
remote user.  Your Pactor mailbox will send an automatically changeover back to the remote 
user.  If you are using a 128K or even a 512K Mailbox, then you can actually upload disk 
files into the Mailbox.  The 32K version has the same capability but with 32K RAM capacity.
