    Here at last and I got to the MICRO!


  The theme of our conversation: SPECTRUM and FidoNet
As you all probably already know, is very
Many of the former Soviet Union have their own
Spectrum NETy, mostly based on VICCOME. An example of this - 
Zaporozhye. In late 1997 - early 1998 we had

not bad in my opinion mesh ZprZxNet.
It counts in its ranks about 20
points, and a BBS. Unfortunately our only boss bought
HRC 486 and closed the BBS bezpovorotno. And our
Points are quietly selling their
ZSC-up modems. Zaporozhye - this is no exception, as in other 
cities have been worse. AND if local Nety communicate only 
within city, long distance calls - this is

problem! People began to look for options,
and found! Why invent something and think, if we can use already
ready? Fido - Here are the answers to all questions. Advantages 
of Fido, before taking any genus ZXNet:



   1-absolutely Free VIP connection

     network.

   2-speed transfer of information depends

     only on the selected modem.

   3-lot Spectrum servers.


      And so on and so forth.


  To connect the Hayes-modem - no need to
something to alter in a computer (as it was with ZSC-modem). 
The controller consists total of 2 mikruh (ll1, le1), and the 
size sockets to the modem. Available in all the necessary 
software: 


   ZED - full message editor

   MELON - terminalka + dialer to the boss

   UUDecod}

   UUEncod}

   Habeta} programs to work with Fido

   PKTcorr}

   ZXZIPP}

Profikov 512 - is the new TR-DOS 5.12F
c RamDiskom a full-on "D" (1536 sec.)

things.


  I hope that our conversation will not end.
