TOTAL MODEMIZATSIYA
Hi Progressive People, and all those who
wants to become established!
At this time I was a bit of porazoryayus
for connecting modems to the Great
Speccy. If someone does not know what
modem, then, IMHO, this little article is not for you
: (Else continue to read my nonsense:)))
Modem - it's the greatest invention
mankind (after the invention of Speccy,
of course:), and finally it became available to us, mere
mortals sinkleristam! Do not listen to everyone there
pC'shnikov on this occasion (usually after their verbal
diarrhea becomes somehow rotten in Soul: (-so, their fate:) and
immediately proceed to action by winning sinkleristami network
FidoNet. I here I will not cry, that the network is a cool FREE
thing that is always fresh nemerenaya bunch of information and
programs from the "first hand" on so many different the fact
that you never dreamed of (sex, computers, humor, sports,
bodybuilding, guitar, jokes, games, etc, etc, etc ...), the
possibility of quick correspondence with each other (For
sraveneniya: by regular mail (mail) Letter from Chelyabinsk to
Ukraine attending 2 weeks, and through FidoNet same
letter (netmail) is about 4-5 hours)
etc. It's up to me and shouted by many. I
only an indicative list of actions
to be taken so that you
became a full user (not
users!!!) FidoNet. Just want to say
lazy 'brother: zasun'te it (laziness), deeper (better than
anybody else:), and grasp this thing seriously! Ovchinka
worth the candle, and how!
So:
First and foremost, you must have access to the phone, no
matter where: at work, at home, neighbors, relatives,
the main thing that these people were not against
Your night calls, although once,
we listened to the opinions of 'ancestors' on the
com? :))) Usually work on all networks
night because at this time of telephone lines
minimally loaded and connection is more
quality.
Further it is necessary zaimet modem. They have 2
types: external (box so with
LEDs inside) and internal (board
with ISA-connector, a small speaker and
two connectors like import
phones). The external modem, I personally
software has not seen, although I was told that
there is some terminalka under CP / M for
Profi, but the internal momedy on Speccy
distributed better. In short, I
HAYES-advise an internal modem. Also
Decide on the speed modem
that will suit both you and your wallet
(Modem speed is determined by a
simple: for example, a modem for 2400 - is
means that the STE miracle could pumping
MAXIMUM 2400 baud per second, or 2400 / 8
= 300 bytes per second). Certainly better
if you have a modem poshustree, IMHO
most ruleznaya for sintering rate of 14,400.
He and relatively inexpensive, and fast,
and the greater the likelihood that you will take to
own boss. To directly determine the
price I will give an example of our city
Today, May 15, 1999. Dollar until
worth 24.92 rubles.
The rate of price in rubles.
2400 50-150
14400 400-500
33600 900-1200
Please note that the appetite comes
eating! It seems from the beginning, saying that
I will download only the echoes of "ZX.SPECTRUM" and
"REAL SPECCY", but later mesyatsok ... boss
begins to swear that you are hanging on for a long time
line. Believe me!
So, at a speed modem decided, should be him somewhere
nadybat thread:) There are several "ways of solving the current
crisis" (c) BN Yeltsin
1. Go to any company selling
components of computers and and
like the look and a modem. If not
turned out to find another company (and their horror
how many divorced).
ADVANTAGES:
Yes. You just check the modem, it will be on
warranty, and are almost always new.
DISADVANTAGES:
Yes. Usually there is no modem for 2400
(Look at you rather obliquely - Be
ready for this:)
b. Price does not always suit the buyer,
the more that you do not have to bargain
succeed.
2. Put an ad in the local e-mail about pokupke modem. Note
that the more original will be your ad, the more likely to get
response because a Listing in the style of "buy
modem on so many "usually the sea!
ADVANTAGES:
Yes. Torgabelno
DISADVANTAGES:
Yes. Need to have a friend fidoshnika, although this fact on
the contrary, will only benefit.
3. Buy a modem from acquaintances, or
Computer commission store.
ADVANTAGES:
Yes. The relative cheapness.
DISADVANTAGES:
Yes. Have to look for, where you can check it.
In general, choose, that is more to
soul to you and your wallet.
Modem purchased. Now we must determine the wiring to the PC
(If you do not have a ready connector momeda type GMX'a on
Scorpion'ah, but it VERY expensive). Read about it in the next
section.
Once this whole thing will work (the modem on a computer is
not affected, so he should behave as usual), Georgia
terminalku and installs it under the port which is connected to
this beast computer. Trying to skonnektitsya
other, or with any BBS'koy. If
everything went perfectly, then jump for joy to the ceiling
(the owners of low ceilings can not react violently to this
fact), and consider ourselves to dial-up users! If something
does not work, then more just check the connections.
Now the most important matter:
find a boss (node). Best
be asked to either friends, or to
former sinkleristam (they are usually of
nostalgia take his points by our
her brother, but that's just right! :) Here
here's the play in fact a modem 14400
Your favor. If there are no bosses
found, then we take your point-list
region (it can ask any
fidoshnika) and see who the bosses
is marked as "taking the points." Ingoda
write speed restrictions. Choose, call and arrange. There is
such an important fact as the time station. It is not necessary
to go to the Points to the boss, who works at a time when a
You have no (or little) the possibility to call
and pick up the mail! It will accumulate, and
Eventually the boss can remove it, or
generally ask you to "leave the room! Estesstvenno, ideal
Bosses are working around the clock
(Mark CM), but they have usually their
missing.
That's basically all you need
do to connect the modem to the Speccy.
Most importantly, this is certainly the desire and

More details about the moral and practical side of
communicating with BBS'kami read in the newspapers "ZX-NEWS
