Hello, All People! Help! Please upload programs and games for Vicomm modema. Organized by There is communication in the city and the cat is crying for programs. Tell me how to organize a BBS.

Hello, p@lex ple> for Vicomm modema.Organized ple> communication in the city. Show me how to organize a BBS. ple> Address: Rudny ple> Greetings and congratulations! How many real people are already working on Spectrum modems? Would you like to think about organizing a city branch of the ZXNet network? http://wlodeks.narod.ru/zxnet/ZXNET.HTM

From Sergey Danilov To All 14 November 2005

Hello, p@lex Here, I collected all sorts of things from the bottom of the barrel :) What is there: MMD2.22 - a program for dialing up the BBS and crawling around it, Gambit - a game of chess, EMS - like, too for dialing, but I didn’t use it, AON - AOH ;) It seems that you can also use a modem I was supposed to play X-Reversy, but I didn't have it. and on Virtual TR-DOS not something is observed. Even in Spectrofon 9 there was Laser Squad in the app modem, you could also play it using vicomm. What would to organize a BBS, you need to have MMD 3 or 4. You need to ask MAS about this ( mas-soft(c)nm.ru), I think it will help. I don't remember anything else about the modem. File: Vicomm.zip http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=1932

Show me how to organize a BBS. mailto: 500:812/1.507 - then I’ll give you the programs. And then suddenly you’re a messenger from competing IBM-PC platform, stifling the development of ZX-Spectrum?

From Aleksey Senilov To All 18 November 2005

Hello, All! In Kirov we have a network on C-DOS modems, and I wrote several for my X-Dos toys. Mostly logical, and one “almost strategy”. The burner is used modem from EMS, and therefore you can probably play on other modems. If someone interesting. contact me (you can go to thennnereal.ru). Although I once I threw it in ZXNET.UUE for a long time. We use EMS as a BBS, a good program. But with MMD I can’t compare it, because I haven’t seen its normal versions. See you again! Best regards, Thann.

From Alexander Pekhimenko To All 28 November 2005

Hello new art Is the driver the same one that works normally with EMS? The driver was not from EMS, but was from Gambit.

From Alexander Pekhimenko To All 12 December 2005

Hello, p@lex People! Can anyone explain why I have EMS2.55+ in terminal mode? VICOMMe sometimes does not receive individual characters.

The point is that when transferring individual characters there is no confirmation of successful transmission. And if there were, It would be impossible to print normally due to the brakes. See you again! Best regards, Thann.

From Kirill Frolov To All 12 December 2005

Hello, All Ale> The modem driver from EMS is used, The modem driver from MMD and EMS is almost the same. If not used later extensions (caller ID, interrupts, something else...), then everything is compatible except for one thing: the speed selection function. In MMD it is always works exclusively at first speed only, in EMS also some glitches. But in any case, one driver is easily converted into another.

From Kirill Frolov To All 12 December 2005

Hello jtn jtn> 1. high speed-interference jtn> Signal distortion. High frequencies are cut, phase distortions occur. It would be possible to introduce biases and compensate somehow in the receiver, but no one ever did it. Yes and bars not really enough. Plus the coding method is stupid. It's easier with a comparator It would probably be better to do relative phase modulation with relatively low baud rate and a correspondingly large number of states. Plus some code for error correction. And also distortions in the Vicomm amplifier itself. Often without it and it worked better without any filters. Of course the filter is upper frequencies are needed, but on the other hand, this is again phase distortion signal, depending on the frequency, and since both important for vicomm... It is better to choose a filter with a uniform phase characteristic in the “useful” frequency range of the signal and sufficiently high cutoff frequency, about 16KHz. It's "interference" there are usually none as such. Interference can be understood more often as crackling (signal loss for tens of ms) - no filters here will not help, or the “radio” and conversations of other subscribers: but then quickly Excessive signal amplification is harmful. Of course you can build filter exclusively for speed frequencies 1800, 2400 (1200-3400Hz) but, as I said above, the phase characteristic on this area is of great importance.> 2. the driver must be tailored to the temporary setup of your computer (available for > scorpio, pentagon...). or it’s possible that computers just have quartz > are very different If it’s not turbo, then it’s more likely no than yes. 13/15 is probably the largest scatter of quartz. Not that much.

Hello new art new> Was under Vicomm & XTR. After all, you're burning. For modem driver from MMD.

From jtn To All 12 December 2005

Hello, p@lex 1. high speed - interference 2. the driver must be tailored to the temporary settings of your computer (there is one for Scorpio, Pentagon...). or perhaps it’s just that the quartz on computers is very different

As for the speed - in my games the minimum is always set (600), since little information is transmitted. Chat even wastes more modem time than the games themselves. See you again! Best regards, Thann.

From Alexander Pekhimenko To All 22 January 2006

Hello fk0 I dug through old archives and found a driver for mmd 4.00 (pulled from Gambit) I plugged it into mmd2.22. I got the modem 3+ working with Wiki with all the bells and whistles. Can anyone tell me where? take version mmd 4.00 and why is it better?

From Alexander Pekhimenko To All 28 January 2006

Hello, p@lex People, tell me. In the driver for MMD 4.0 there is a speed link in the menu, and also 1800+,2400+ - what does this mean?

From Alexander Pekhimenko To All 4 February 2006

Hello, All My speed was 2400 everywhere. What’s interesting is that there was a glitch with characters disappearing me on a simple modem with a transformer. Now I soldered the modem according to the diagram Vicomm3+ modem this glitch disappeared, but a new one appeared. If you transmit through 48 BASIC via save-load then gives a loading error at the end of receiving the file, although the BASIC file itself seems to have been transferred normally and the laser platoon does not play. But EMS and MMD 2.22 work fine.

From Alexander Pekhimenko To All 11 February 2006

Hello, p@lex People! If you have any modem software, don’t be sorry. In particular, I’m looking for games for Vicommodem (X-reversy.battle ships). And for some reason I have laser platoon does not play, although Modem TR, MMD, EMS work perfectly on 2400.
