HelpWare support and services
CompuServe.
If you want to use CompuServe to find
information related to IBM products and services, use
the “GO” word IBM. Then, from the main area, type
Aptiva to get to the Aptiva support forum.
Bulletin boards.
You can use a Bulletin Board System
(BBS) to look at public messaging areas, electronic
conferences, and searchable databases. You can also
download files for Operating System updates and
drivers. There are many other areas of the BBS that
contain helpful information and answers to frequently
asked questions. You might find some of these topics
on a BBS:
•
PC user groups
•
PC questions and answers
•
Problem-solving
•
Technical information
You can reach the IBM Personal Systems Group BBS 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no charge from
IBM to use the BBS. However, long distance telephone
charges may apply.
