               Hello!


  Have you been told that I will no longer be?
Have you been told that I have traded on the Spectrum
HRC-386? The most interesting thing is that someone at
this "duck" was caught - probably by those who know me well 
enough. But nothing here's living proof to the contrary. I

here, and ZxNews continues to be published. And will go until 
there is someone to read it and until there is news that will 
interest our readers.



  As for my ptshi ... Um ... I do not
never concealed that it bought the modem.
Unfortunately, it's not a secret
e-mail software on the Spectrum is very strongly
inferior ptsshnomu, and my requests for fidoshnoy mail recently 
on the increased so much that Speck with them longer

cope - what to do, such is life. However, the hope is that 
sooner or later on our favorite computer will be a decent 
software that allows no hassle to handle at least megabytes 
echo-mails, send and receive messages and files in a fully 
automatic mode, remains. 


  And this is not an empty dream. In theory, all this
it is possible that the same is the practice ... It all depends 
on our coders. In the meantime, programs and utilities for 
network write There are only three: * MAS * (Omega group), Ivan

Savin (VS_PROG_GROUP) and -= LD =- (X-Trade).
Not too little. We wish them good luck
This is undoubtedly important and necessary matter.


  And yet - we really look at things.
Hayes-compatible modems are cheaper so rapidly that the 
continued existence of the network to Vicomm'ah and XTR'ah 
under serious issue. If you recently

Hayes 14400 costs about $ 70-80, now, because of falling prices 
for more speed modems, costs around $ 35-40! Not all

of course, but only those that can not be
further upgrade, but they are in fact properly
work, and it is normal to pass
rate of 14400.


  As for Vikommok and XTR'ov with their
2400 ... If prices will continue to fall
so rapidly, these modems are no longer
be relevant.


  Despite the summer and closed down the station, the network 
day by day increases: get new users, and in old

stronger desire to open his bbsku.
Well, it's not so difficult, and at first very interesting. And 
then there comes a time when some sysops are tired of pretty 
hectic sisopskoy life, closing their BBS, and once again become 
the point. Recently, it happens quite often, but perhaps there 
is nothing to worry about. Much annoyed that closing your 
station, many ex-sysops bombarded with modems, feeling for a 
guilty what-if. So, I would tell them

it's all nonsense, that removed from
modem and the network due to the closure
station is not worth it. No need to force yourself - after all 
the network - it completely voluntary. If tired sisopstvovat - 
get pointovy address stay. I do not think that someone holding 
his on you because of this offense. But understand, for

all will be better, if you will once again be
points than if bbs_list SpbZxNet will
comprise half of the unemployed or
polurabotayuschih stations. That is, in fact, to
What I mean here.


  As for the mess in ZxNews'ah
35/36, were issued without my involvement, I can only say: 
"Judge not, and criminal records will be "(c) Jesus. Let us 
hope that lessons have benefited. 


  We have established contact with "namesakes"
so to speak: the Omega Hackers
Group of Rostov-on-Don. Now you hear Mouzon, written specially 
Klim'om for Newskah, and just below you will find a letter from

detailed autobiography of the team. Unfortunately, the dead 
drive with programs that guys have sent in an application to 
ZN. As Once we get those back bend, you have them

must see.


  I draw your attention to the fact that we have
fidoshny new address.


  I remind you that any modems for the Spectrum is still 
possible to buy by calling phone (812) 186-1358 and called 
Alexis. 


  Well, I can only add that the "summer"
schedule continues, and the next number
ZxNews released beginning of August.


                See ya!
