                 INTERNET



                      (C) Alexei Mikhailov


           Introduction to the Internet.


  Thus, the Internet. Coolest commercial network on the planet!


  Remember the first numbers Newskah enough:
talked a lot about what Fido how to work with him, even 
published description menyushek Maximus ... In general, not

immediately, gradually, people are getting ready
that soon he will have to directly
interfere with FidoNet, and so in the end
finally happened. But time passes, the network
develops, and many are already beginning to Fido is not
triple, mostly, of course, the speed of walking letters (a few 
minutes on the internet - a few days in Fido). By also send a 
letter abroad on Fido a much more complicated than using the 
Internet: by Fido your email may not reach what

can not happen on the Internet. This
the main reasons why it is time to gradually
begin to prepare themselves to the Internet, for
Internet (EUNet / Relcom) - Next step
in the development of network SpbZxNet!


  Who would have thought, when opened
it is our network, just three months we will begin to show its 
internal echo conference that we will be able to subscribe to 
any fidoshnye ekhi (actually now limits the number of eh only

because of low productivity Vicomm-modem'a) that the network 
SpbZxNet actually join the FidoNet on as much as this is 
possible, given what "mazdayny" Therefore, we use a modem? But 
as time has shown, the most secret dreams can come true, if you 
attach to it some effort. AND the next step, the next effort - 
the Internet. While work will be done to create a network with 
a gate Relkomom, pages Newskah we will try to as much on as 
possible, to prepare our readers to a new way of communication, 
which is not even considering an ideal "hand" system of sending 
mail within SpbZxNet speed the arrival of letters from all over

the world will not make more than 24 hours: evening sysop send 
your letter to the hub with the hub is on the same night falls 
on the gate, with gate a few minutes later it turns out to 
anywhere in the country (world), you write response, and 
already on Next week your boss spits out the answer to disk 
station ... IMHO, sounds good, huh? Somewhat more complicated 
with the shipment of toys: in principle, Web size "parcel" is 
limited only worth the time, who had gone to forward: of 
course, pay at the beginning you'll be out of pocket. But it all

vikommki speed. If you want to send, for example, toy drive, 
then nothing good that you first zashlete their

boss, then boss of the hub, then to a hub
at the gate, will not leave - as well as mail,
bend forward will not work.


  There is only one solution: the creation of a network gate 
(s) on the platform of IBM PC, to Points pumped his prog on the 
PC, but with it either directly to the Internet or on a server 
that has direct gate to the Internet. 


  Then immediately another problem arises:
no IMB-Vicomm'a, no software for it. Although
already have an idea how it all get bypass Comrade. Usov, which 
is "squeezed" this device and nobody gave ...



  Everything else, there are several options, such as to put "a 
number" with IBM PC most ordinary vikommnuyu BBC;

then automatically eliminates the need
in IBM-Vicomm'e, as well as in the link "bbs SpbZxNet <----> 
Relcom gate" - in fact it is "Link" will be implemented through 
"sysop took out the disc from its sinter and put in

your PC ".


  But ultimately it's all sisopov problem whose solution we 
will devote some part of the future (-it) sisopnika ... 


  So, what actually we can offer at the moment, there is no 
direct gate with the Internet?



  Correctly, use one of the gates fidoshnyh Fido <=> Relcom, 
the benefit of quite a lot already. The most important thing is 
that all they are - are free, especially if the "consume, but 
not abused." Speed ​​- not much higher than just for Fido, but 
it First and training and recruitment experience, and

correspondence with foreign countries, that Fido is much 
problematic, and just, IMHO, interesting ... At first - only 
private correspondence, no toys from ftp-servers, but it's not 
far away ... Probably. To start read the rules of infiltration 
and processing letters on one of these gates.

  RULES FOR WRITING LETTERS TO RELCOM THROUGH

  Postal Station VC SPB UNIVERSITY BBS

         (2:5030 / 175@fidonet.org)


  To send e-mail at the station VC SPB software has been 
installed, providing geytovanie mail from fidonet network to 
network EUNet / RELCOM. Gate works both ways, ie possible to 
write letters to and from relcom'a in Fido. 


  1) How to send a letter to the Relcom.


  It's very simple. After logging in to MAXIMUS, go to Message 
Areas. Select NETMAIL aria. Press 'E' to enter a new message. 
Maximus himself put your name and address to our station

field From. Then enter the address nazanacheniya 2:5030 / 175 
relkovsky and address of the recipient. You can then write his 
or her a letter ...



  It is not necessary to write a letter to the on-line mode!
You can safely fill it at home, and then paste the text with 
the operation Upload Message menu, Message Areas. When you have 
finished writing, save the letter. More anything from you is 
required. A letter will go as soon as you disconnect from the

station. You can also use the system
Blue Wave.


  2) Getting letters from relkoma.


  For your correspondents in your relcom'e
address is as follows:

 Test_Testov@p0.f175.n5030.z2.fidonet.org


  Besides, he adds gate assignment o
     movsky address below:


             bbs.niimm.spb.su


  If you want the letters to go fast, not only there, but from 
there, ask your correspondents to relkome not write an abstract 
address 

 Test_Testov@p0.f175.n5030.z2.fidonet.org,

but also points out that gate is
it is the system sysovm.math .... Otherwise
case, a letter from relcom'a go to the official gate of Moscow, 
and from there through fidonet to St. Petersburg to us. This 
path is not the fastest and most reliable.



  After receiving relkoma mail, letters
checked by the program's Gate to the need geytovaniya, gate, if 
necessary, and add up to NETMAIL. There also are looking for 
answers :-))) 


   RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF THE GATE.


  Prohibited from making any subscription to the echo-y 
news-conference server'ov relcom'a.



  Prohibits the use of a gate to get files from ftp-server'ov 
relcom'a and Internet'a.



  Seen in this, users are killed
without warning.


               === Cut ===


  Of course, the rules of infiltration of letters in Relcom 
relate only to our fidoshnogo gate: for simple rules of points 
is not much different from the infiltration of Fido. Formalized 
standard SpbZxNet, address indicated on Standard Internet, and 
all - send your boss. The most difficult thing here - to agree 
on the whole geytovanii internetovskoy Correspondence SpbZxNet 
with this most VC SPB UNIVERSITY BBS, as well as configure 
Maximus to our gateway ... 


  In general, the picture is. I think that after
sisopnika it even more clearer and you can start writing 
letters to the Internet!
