NOTE: These instructions were written for FirstClass 6. Please note that some of the panels may have changed in the newer versions of FirstClass.

In order to connect to our BBS, you will need the correct version of the FirstClass Client. You may then connect to LOGIC via the internet

Once you have downloaded the appropriate files, you can proceed with the setup instructions shown on this page.
If you are using OS 9.x or earlier, you should be able to use version 5.623 of FirstClass. You can try out the later version 8 client. However, as we still use an older version of the server software, any additional features that are only present in the later client will not work. If you want to save your password, stay with the version 5.623 of the client. Later versions of the client beginning with version 6 attempt to save the password in an encrypted form, and our older version of the server software cannot recognize an encrypted password at login time.

Special notes for Mac OS X users: The location of the Settings files has changed to ~/Library/FirstClass. You will need to move your old settings to this new location. Also note that the choices under Connect via:, including TCP/IP-WAN, have been changed; choose Local Network instead.

After it is all done, search for the "FirstClass" folder. The contents should look something like this:

Now you need to prepare the settings for LOGIC. Begin by launching either the OS X or Classic FirstClass client.

Click the "Setup" button in the upper right area of the window that appears on the screen. You'll see something like the following window:

These are the settings needed for connecting to LOGIC through your existing ISP connection. Set the drop-down menu at the top to TCP-IP WAN.FCP, Local Network.fcp or High-Speed Internet.FCP.

At the login screen, enter your desired User ID and password, and click Login.
