What is BBB?
-
BBB (Bulletin Board Browser) is a service that allows you to perform a
wide variety of operations on your ASAHI Net account, including reading
and sending email, getting reports of your recent activity and charges,
applying for changes, and making server-side settings, all from the
comfortable environment of your favorite web browser.
-
In order to use BBB, it is necessary to have a browser which supports
user authentication, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
-
The use of BBB requires an exclusive lock on your user ID, like our ASAHI Net
BBS and POP3 servers, and thus it cannot be used simultaneously with
either the BBS, POP3, or any other such service. If you wish to
use the BBS or POP3 mail after using BBB, please be sure to logout from
BBB first.
-
BBB is still an experimental service, and its use is currently
free, i.e. you need only pay the usual connectivity
charge while you are using it. BBB sessions
appear in your list of connection records (which can be found on BBB,
incidentally) with "BBB" in the "Line" column, however, like POP3, these
sessions are not charged.
Beware!
-
If someone other than yourself or those you trust completely has access to
the computer on which you use BBB, you must be careful of a potential
security issue. After you have logged out from BBB and have finished
using your browser, please terminate the browser application.
The reason is that your user ID and password remain in the browser even
after you disconnect from BBB, allowing someone else who might sit down
at your computer to easily gain access to your personal information, and
even to your email. If you quit the browser, this information will
disappear.
-
In order to logout from BBB, use the "Log Out" link that appears at the top of
every page. Simply quitting your browser application will not log
you out from BBB.
-
At this time, BBB and ASAHI Net's SP service are the only
web pages which require the entry of your ASAHI Net user ID and password.
Please do not enter your user ID and password into any
other page on the Web.
If you have any doubt about whether it is ok to enter your password
somewhere, please contact us.
Click the button below to enter BBB at the top menu. Please input your ASAHI Net
user ID and password when prompted.
If you access BBB more than once without restarting your browser application,
the same user ID and password will be reused.
