SpbZxNet - rulez forever!
(C) Alexei Mikhailov
Yes, think so, not only I but almost
all who are already working in it. All of us,
Sisopov and points, different characters, different habits and
different abilities, but all we are united by a "small" detail:
ours, St. Petersburg's SpbZxNet!
Many have simply no idea how
it is possible to live, not cast a spell in the evening echo,
not describing their achievements in toys and
reading what they have achieved other, not giving and getting
advice and assistance from the simple all users and network
operators - that you are a living example: I had a difficulty
with control in chemistry, I "threw Cry "on the BBC, and the
next day I decided everything and explained: the network to
provide any assistance neighbor - in the order of things, how
to live without any correspondence topics of interest - as it
turned out, many sinkleristy not dwell only on ZX, they love
cats, for example, or contemporary music, discusses the new
items video distribution, describes the latest
jokes ...
Not, in a nutshell what is happening
daily echo can not be described - a better one
to see once than hear a hundred times ... ;)
As expected from the outset,
Beginners "networkers" are not always the first
time to delve into all the subtleties of working with
stations and the network: some require a couple of days, but
someone a couple of weeks, but let small, but at least some
practice shows that anyone, even if
a week ago has put his computer,
can quickly learn though, would be
primary skills, and then everything will
go ... Importantly, do not be afraid of unintelligible words,
do not be afraid to ask in the echo and soap and water issues,
because all experienced "bibiesniki" too, with something once
started and fully capable to understand you ...
The only try especially not to terrorize sisopov with
requests for help potestit modem or explain how juzat
terminal program: system operators - the people who already
injected from morning till night, obespechvaya order and his
work station. Tell everyone everything they do not have neither
possible nor moral force. Generally, this is the first board
for beginners: otkapayte old numbers and ZxNews carefully
re-read the article about the network - IMHO, just about
anything you may need on the electronic pages of our newspapers
have already held ...
And now, at the request of sisopov, let
analyze the major errors in
novice users in a network. I hope that you will not repeat
them under any circumstances ...
Practice of error. Part I.
------------------------
1. Download catalog station, send back
something, and then tried to take some files with the same
drive. The result will show "NO ONE DISC" which leads the user
in complete disarray.
The thing is that the program monitors the directory of the
drive, and if the number of files is not the same on both
computers (you also send back something, here's a directory and
change), then this error is issued.
2. Same Point with demand dialing
calls on all bbs'ki row several
once a day, while others, especially those who have
No AONa, this time without success, "wind the" wheels on their
phones ...
To this I can only say that here
the main criterion - your conscience. Not to stay on duty at
stations, especially during Pile Up'a (Pileup - is when
many points are trying to reach a bbs), which is happening as a
rule, the first hour of work. Be aware of others!
3. The typical approach of some points:
went to the station, pulled ss + i (mark all
files in the directory) and went to take, it is not looking at
what it is and should be Is it at all.
Beware! Sysops have agreed to fight
with here points and will soon begin to reduce their levels. To
learn that some of the underlying file on the disk so
Use the main menu (EXT +1) - bbs
give you a "descriptor" files that, everything else, will
indicate what levels are needed to download them. It is clear
that if you level is not enough file you receive will not
succeed.
4. Misconfigured SetUp.
The most common mistake. Some
even try to blame their program
ignorance. How many do not write (as set
SetUp is possible and in the help to find terminalke,
and ZxNews had a great article), some people
all bestolku.
Do not be like them! If it is difficult
understand themselves, set SetUp so
as was recently shown in Newskah ...
5. Misunderstanding of the options in the menu "data
interchange". For example, the download directory, mark the
files in it and shake "Receiving files" instead of
"Autoexchange" 'Yes.
6. Sometimes forget to enter EXT +5.
This is, in principle, have no effect on
bbs, she hangs up itself, "hearing"
short beeps, but EXT +5 talks about tact and Culture Point. The
question is where do culture? Yes, despite the fact that
some prestigious (well, popular
people) stations soon "bezkulturnye" will be turned off - and
without them the people more than enough. Here's how it was.
7. Futile attempts to download a dark-files
type "to_sysop" or "to_news", as well as new files, mishandled
the station recently, and sysop who have not yet looked.
Is not it clear that they are still not
give? Do not waste your time in contemplation
inscription "Skipped!".
8. Point is on the bbs, communication is poor and it includes
the rate of 600, because at a faster speed macros bbs poorly
accepted. Well, enters a password, read mesagi sysop and went
to the download directory 600-baud ah ...
Remember that all bbs'kah prohibited
accept / transfer files / directory on the rate of 600 baud! As
a minimum, by 1800, and then and about 2,400 do not forget ...
On the server, log'e placed the rate at which
Point worked, so sysops will soon begin
take action ...
9. A customer calls to the station whenever he wants, it works
or not, it does not appear to care.
So, these have already started off ...
I hope that the analysis of these common mistakes will help
you not to strike face in the dirt ... ;)
