Friends!
You all know me as the coordinator of an international network
ZXNet. The time has come to me self-destruct.
Since the inception of the network in February 1995, I was
asked:
- Connect users ZX-Spectrum of Moscow through the INTERNET and
FIDO; This I carried out for two months.
- The network has grown to an international level and laid on me
responsibility to maintain international traffic (who was so
debugged to automaticity) All currently running.
I believe that fulfilled everything I must choose I
Sysops ZXNet:
- Any spektrumist has free Internet access and FIDO. AND
it works really, and self-regulating.
- Freebie has been and will be!
And it's time to pass the network to other hands. At this point,
the only person who can pass ZXNet without prejudice
the quality of communication, is the coordinator ZXNet Belarus -
Arseny Astapenko (017 / 1) - only for the moment
man who can "pull" the entire ZXNet.
All of the above, does not mean that the traffic and the
network abandoned. Almost like walking, so it will go! The only
thing that I would like to draw your attention to:
Single international mailing address is: zxnet@iname.com - it
pereadresovochny address valid to the discretion of the
coordinator.
As always, it is used in case of problems send mail between
regions.
Address Zxnet@deol.ru will run another 2 months, after which
will be eliminated.
All existing WEB-pages + ZXNet remain valid even
there will be new.
Sincerely and with great appreciation to all who
supported me,
Alexey Ivanov (500:095 / 100)
P.S. I was like spektrumistom, and they'll stay. And the
address of my node remains active! As for me all my might not
Fulfilling the Promise. I'm not leaving you!
C Regards, Alexey Ivanov

Just thanks for everything ...

I did not think that someday I will be interviewing Alexis,
using in the past tense verbs ...
We met up with Alex at home. It was in-general, still morning,
the next room were still asleep, so Alex said softly, and
recording turned desperately poor, but for some reason
ambient noise grew to giant size. Listening
then make a recording, I could clearly make out the noise of
Fan "Pentium", the screen is in the morning, just
probably, like all other days, as usual spinning Earth
bead with the letter "e" ...
WB: Hey, Alex! I know the reasons that prompted you to leave
the post of Regional Coordinator, strictly personal, so I do not
I will deal with this issue. Let's talk about the traversed
path. How it all began?
AI: But this much has been written.
WB: Who now will seek out and pick up the old network
newspaper! Maybe tell briefly again, for those users
that came later?
AI: In 1995, the year I was an ordinary spektrumistom and once
bought currently CDOS-modem. In the "notebook" that time were
listed CDOS three BBS-ki, of which actually worked only one -
STS.
(WB: I'd add: at least one of the unproductive
BBS-ca was Politehovskoy. I then worked part-time in
Polytech and already know what CDOS-modem, but currently it is
not acquired, the interest has not yet woken up, as they say).
AI: call to the station was rather difficult. Gradually
users know each other, and once it was suggested
organize a network. Gathered, as we would have just said, the
Council network, where I was elected co-ordinator. I was asked
to organize Output spektrumistov Internet and Fido, and as soon
as time.
WB: Who was with you then hand in hand? Who would you now like
remember the good word?
AI: Doctors Longman (Dr. Longman). He is still sometimes
reminds of itself.
WB: Yes, X-RAY, we read with pleasure.
AI:, but actually almost all had to do myself.
However, I have performed this task. We have adopted the
Charter of the network, taking as a basis Charter Fido,
podsokrativ and simplifying. Otherwise, it simply impossible.
Now everything is working, driven to automatism.
WB: How do you see the future of the network?
AI: It seems that we will gradually move to Hayes-s. They
cheaper, and the software is. But CDOS-Naya network is still
held.
WB: Cheap Hayes - until the first failure.
AI: Well, the garbage then ... I already gave the announcement
of the buy- illiquid this technique. You can simply change the
modem.
WB: Soon as I understood the principle of addressing changes in
ZXNet. What does "500", which you finished the old address?
AI: 500 - non-existent zone in Fido. In fidoshnyh programs
necessarily need to specify the zone number, 500 - it is like a
zone ZXNet. Your web address will 500:095 / 462. But as long as
possible write as usual.
WB: I then prepared a letter, Arseny ...
AI: And you do not want him to communicate directly through the
"clave"?
... This is so humdrum and simply talked. I made a mistake,
tuned to the past tense of verbs. Network established and
Alex raised to work. Here are just a capital move it
in Minsk. It just seems that it is far away. Touching
keyboard, you can imagine that at the same moment you feel
warm handshake distant friend that you're still in the eyes
seen, but for some reason you want to wish him success and the
whole the best in life. And in a moment you see on the screen
response. Alex was not mistaken - Arseny in those moments really
been in touch. Want to see even something symbolic in the
that the wheel ZXNet now in his hands. On the Belarusian land
the revival of the Union of fraternal peoples. And we
spektrumisty, already united. Alex merit in this is obvious and
undeniable. Great and inherited a good Arseny. Let's all wish
him success and just ordinary good luck!
And ... Alex sort of nowhere and is gone. He is with us, but
as states, yet it has become a bit less ... And momentary
sadness from this no-no, and stir the soul ... Thank you, Alex,
for all that you did, just thanks for everything! And stay with
us, among us, or we stay with you even do not know how
say! Maybe at the next sisopnike Sunday someone
tell better ... God forbid! Come on. As always.
