        From the history of CDOSa Lviv



(C) Stegnitsky Andrew


  I welcome all readers of the first issue of the newspaper 
Optron! 

  With you Stegnitsky Andrew, or Andrew. I
I'll write music for a newspaper, and sometimes
some notes. Today I'll tell you
how and with whose help came CDOS
modems in Lviv.

  It all started somewhere in the September 96 th. In
While Rasp floated the idea of ​​connecting ZX-Modem (remember, 
was the scheme in ZX-Revyu'91). Of course he did not

happened, rather it is connected to the modem, but
was no connection, and software to the modem was not. Here then 
we Sergey Filimonov and conceived to get these

most CDOS-modems, whose work in
Moscow, thanks to publication in the newspaper
On-Line, fired the minds of our (in turned down!).
Long on the phone "bother" in Moscow
manufacturer of modems are not yet
a positive response regarding the shipment
two pieces of Lviv.

  And so, in winter 97-th cherished CDOSki were
in our company. But, unfortunately, in the first
day we could not even connect because that was very noisy line. 
I was able to transfer only one file, and Sergei

I gave nothing.

  The next day, when the background was in line
less, we have contacted, but very lousy.
There was a lot of errors in the transmission and reception.

  But progress does not stand still, and Sergey in electronics 
- not the first day. After he figured in the scheme of the 
modem, then came up for revision, which enabled to strengthen 
the transmission part. By the way, the essence of this Revised 
known in Moscow - Sergei in the time he sent out a letter to 
the modem, excerpts of which were even published in the 
fidoshnoy conference ZX.SPECTRUM, but it seems it was ignored, 
but in vain, nothing ...


  Thus, Sergey finalized his modem and when we caught up, then 
my side files went much better. Finalized and my modem, we were 
able to communicate without any problems even when the line had 
a strong background. Remember case where we could not normally

speak, so there was a strong background and
crack in the line, and the modem was contacted, although there 
were many mistakes, but the file is transmitted. 

  After that Sergei did two test
modem, which can be regarded as the first
Lviv CDOS-modems. True test
modems were still not ideal, and communicate through them was 
to put it mildly, bad. But now it is over. Thanks to several 
new refinements modem has changed, and I think that we, Lviv, 
modems will be much better in Moscow. Modems

will be made and we have cottages.
You can buy them at the bazaar will be from Sergei. It can also 
be written (free!) latest issue of our newspaper, which has

advertising section. Also ask about the modem on the market: in 
general, act! 

  Perhaps buying a modem, you may want to become
Lviv subscriber network ZXNET. Such a network
will be organized as soon as Lviv
will be more than one BBSki. ZXNET give
you an opportunity, we are currently working on the possibility 
of access to the FIDO, well, well we'll see. About all damages 
caused to the network You can find the following numbers
