167.0. "Why not put "Official Instructions" ONLINE!" by MISFIT::FOLTSD (ZZZZ -- Dwight Folts -- ZZZZ) Sun Apr 09 1989 19:55

    Hello,
    
    I'm new to this notes file and all I really wanted to do was find
    out how to use EASYTOUCH to get a balance and then have a withdrawal
    sent to my home via check.  
    
    Why doesn't DCU put the instructions
    in this notes file or in VTX where we don't have to keep looking
    for the instructions on those little cards that are so easy to
    lose???                                        
    
    Wouldn't this be simpler or is there some security rule that would
    be broken???   
    
    Thanks.....

167.1See replys in note 58.BTO::EDSON_DMon Apr 10 1989 08:324
    This has been discussed in 58.*.  You may find some (not all) answers
    there.

167.2You should have received them in the mail.ULTRA::KINDELBill Kindel @ BXB1Mon Apr 10 1989 10:346
    DCU published the instructions for Easy Touch in an "Input/Output" a
    couple of years ago and enclosed it with everyone's monthly statements.
    New customers are supposed to receive these instructions in a mailing
    to accompany the ATM/Easy Touch personal identification number.
    Perhaps there have been spot shortages to keep this from happening.
    Call DCU and ask you them to send you another one. 
167.3I prefer electronic to paper, tooATSE::BLOCKWith a mind of magic & a magical mindMon Apr 10 1989 12:098
	Getting another copy of the paper instructions doesn't solve 
	Dwight's complaint in .0 of wanting them on-line.  I think having 
	the instructions available in VTX is a good idea; have you (Dwight)
	suggested it to DCU directly?  If so, what was their reply?

167.4How about real online!GRAMPS::FORTIERTue Apr 11 1989 08:4611
    
       I agree that there is a real need for getting the instructions
    online. 
       But, what about getting them online? I would love to be able
    to sit at my desk, pop a window, and use the ten key keypad to do
    the same thing as I do over the phone. What would be the problem
    with getting the Digital Employee FCU to give us a link into their
    system for activities?

167.5So do it.NAAD::REITERI'm the NRATue Apr 11 1989 11:028
    If this is such a good idea (and I'm not implying it isn't), then
    why doesn't someone just post a note here with the instructions?
    Then we'd all have it --- online!
    
    If the answer to this question is in Note 58.*, forgive me.  I'm
    just suggesting a simple solution to an obviously complex and
    deep-rooted problem, and I have no intention of debating its merits
    or spending endless hours researching it.   :7)
167.6take the discussion to 58.*POLAR::KA_GUESTTue Apr 11 1989 12:4841

    If you call DTN: 223-9943 or 1-800-322-1232 you get the EASYTOUCH
    machine. It gives you step by step instructions on what to do. If
    you don't know the codes it would give you the options/codes for
    you to select from. I can't see it getting any simpler or easier.

    It would be easy for anyone to enter the instructions in this
    notesfile. Part of the instructions are listed in note 58.*, so
    you might want to review that note as suggested in a previous reply.
    
    DCU doesn't have access to this notesfile, and I don't foresee that
    happening anytime in the near future. DCU gets copies of notes and
    have the option to respond indirectly.

    It might be simpler if someone volunteered to put it in as a reply
    to note 58.* or if somehow it became part of VTX.
    
    
    NOTE: There are quite a few notes in this file that discusses DCU
    	  access (or lack of access) to the network. I urge everyone
    	  to refer to other notes before starting new discussions on
    	  the topic.

167.7Step-by-step defined and explainedMISFIT::FOLTSDZZZZ -- Dwight Folts -- ZZZZTue Apr 25 1989 15:2619
Hi...I'm back from vacation ...sorry for the delay and for the apparent 
fervor that I caused!  I must reply to .6 to indicate that there is what
I consider a rather "backward" way of getting step by step instructions.

AND, that is to enter an incorrect response ... waiting for an indefinite
period of time for a response when you don't know what the transaction
codes are gives you a "Timeout...thanks."

For those of you who don't know what the codes are at each step I suggest
entering the # (treat it like a <CR>) to get EASYTOUCH to respond with
step-by-step instructions...

One final note ... I don't have a problem with DCU as a financial
organization.  I have a savings account, loan and VISA and am very happy
with the service and services.  The EASYTOUCH program could use some
improvement!!! And I consider this a minor problem in the overall scheme
of things.
