  Here, perhaps, the most interesting news
for network users - yield in the light of a new modem, which in 
my opinion modem will be the future in SpbZxNet, and probably 
throughout the rest of the country, especially in those regions 
where the modem connection to the ZX only raises his head, or 
do not began its existence.



  As the Coordinator, as the sysop, as just
sinklerista, I can not remain indifferent to the fact that 
thanks to the development network continues to evolve and 
Spectrum, and XTR-modem - to the living proof. The developers 
of hardware and as well as software, is always dependent on

consumers, and now they see that the network
growing, that good old Vikomm for various
reasons, no longer satisfied with men.


  Many people can not make calls to daytime station because at 
work, and in the evening, in the most convenient time, 
sometimes it just does not break - some sysops are already 
forced to terminate the registration of new users because of 
the large number of points and users, which are sometimes put 
on a PILE UP. Well, you want to sleep at night ... And

vikommki maximum speed - 2400 baud:
it is not so much, at least
I would like more.


  And now it's time to say no primitive transformer, which costs
just a huge amount due to the fact that his
produced in only one person -
Sergey Usov, which to some extent a monopolist. Well would that 
kind of money pay for a normal modem, but not for Vikomm after 
all! 


  In a nutshell, that may a new modem.


  First, pick up / drop tube without
'Feature', and secondly, to determine the number
caller to dial automatically
any number (multiple numbers) that
provides unique opportunities for
bbsnogo software for simple points: the evening included a 
computer, went to bed, the modem itself to get through to 
bbs'ki, leaked e-mail and files sent your e-mail, and you with 
utretsa (or after work) calmly and without any hassle to sit 
and read the mail - is not it-if, just great? Not a bad rate - 
3200 promises even on bad lines, and the good - much higher 
ease of connection - stuck in the system connector and 
everything! New modem will cost no more than Vikomma. So I 
think that sooner or later the entire network will still move 
to the XTR-modem'y, in fact, it's only software ... 


  And now - the word of the authors.

                XTR-modem


  So it's time to gladden the world SPECCY - XTR done, debugged 
and put into production. Announcement of ZF # 5 had to 
information about the necessity of this product on the market. 
This very information we are raped, so the number of 
commercials for the 10-st April is expected to first Party 
modems. 


  Satisfying the public interest, I'll tell
briefly about the concept of a modem.
