                News



VIks reported some interesting news: Sergey
Zonov plans to do the production
(Deliveries from Moscow) C-Dos Modem! So
that people, if this is true - be prepared for
jaunty life: there was little controversy surrounding Vicomm'a 
and Hayes'a, so now the C-Dos:)


However, Omega group, consultation, decided that a couple of 
bbs we will open once the sort of thing ...


And yet. There are people in St. Petersburg (the name of the 
requested not yet known), who invents

(Almost invented), a cross between
C-Dos/Vicomm/Hayes. And this design is borrowed from them the 
following best qualities: 

 1. Easy to connect
 2. Low production costs (20-30 thousand)
 3. Not a bad speed (2400 baud)
 4. Ability to lift / hang up
 5. Redial

But all is not smooth. Absent:

 1. Error correction
 2. Minutes of the data compression

And also guarantees complete incompatibility with all standards.

So that we can all witness
unique and hitherto unprecedented situation,

"Side by side" already are 4 types of modem!

And the news for today is another: no
Despite the care Dictator'a, and despite all sorts of 
pessimistic forecasts, today's best computer magazine 
"Zx-Format" continues to delight us with their not so frequent 
as I would like, but very pleasant "Exit." That's number five 
is already done! 

Incidentally, on this occasion, we wish to announce that there 
will be about "Macro-Modem" with "ZxNews" a small little 
article ... 

And also, on this occasion, we want to say hello to everyone 
who takes part in today Format'e:



               Good luck!
