            ZXNET'u - ZXda!



     In principle, this little article is written
Only residents of Tula (since log
Tula), and even those who have
phone (this is the beginning, right half
Readers scared,: (well, nothing, corrected). Although it is not 
harmful to read and rest and express their views. And if Are 
you an expert in the field of networks, your words will be 
worth its weight in gold. 


     Let's start ... Than our native Tula
worse than other cities in Russia? How long
we read the "foreign" network gazetku
with the words "Wow!" and "lol"? Really
we ourselves are not under the power to make the Thule Network
no worse than any other? Yes we can all ...
but do not want (or want but are silent?). By
At least to me have already asked a few people who are simply 
dreaming (in a dream, of course) your own Speccy to the modem. 
Some are even willing to sacrifice his composure and give the 
phone number of a BBS to be torn apart. Maybe, of course, they 
do not suspect what goes, but it's good enough that no

entuziazisty extinct in the land of Tula! It was they who were 
asked to raise this issue in the magazine. And what

Problem? It's very simple: to be or not
ZXNET be in Tula.


     Can cause a lot of arguments, as
Pros and cons. I shall confine
most (in my opinion) the main and the rest will leave you, our 
dear readers. If you've already grabbed a pen to write the 
letter, my advice is: do not hurry, please continue reading to 
the end and then Speak opinion. Turning to the arguments ...



    Objection first. For many of the Spectrum
with a modem like a goat with a saddle,:), then
Why is all this necessary at all if there is
PC or Amiga (or something), which
Modem feels "like a fish in water."
And speed is not an example of Spectrum,
Yes, and FIDO, INTERNET, BBS'ki any ...
And what can be done on the Spectrum with a modem?


    Answer: Well, excuse me, do with the modem, all those who 
worked here for six months networks in other cities in Russia? 
Or none of them had a "live pisyuka" did not see?

Read a newspaper, any network (there are now
by the thousand), but BBS'ok on the Spectrum there in the same 
Moscow (possibly objection, saying, Tula - not Moscow, but I

do not propose to establish a network where the number of
BBS will not amount to a dozen).
Us for the first time enough above
mates. :) And regarding the exchange rate, all (or most) of us 
were loading programs from tape. So, even the most run-down 
self-made modem is able to "accelerate" to a similar speed. A 
more or less normal modems "give" and even more. And imagine 
that you and Your friend "PROS" turbo 9 (10,11,12)

MHz? I represent do not have to, I like that. This is already 
impressive, believe me. By also in Moscow, St. Petersburg and 
some other cities in the network ZXNET there are special 
gateways (mainly on a PC or AMIGA), through who have the 
opportunity to exchange mail not only with FIDO, and send and 
receive letters to the E-MAIL. And this is a seriously ...



     Objection to the second. Why spend the extra money (and in 
fact the modem, as sadly, have to buy or build). Why invest in 
almost "Dead" computer?



     Answer: My friends, if you read this
line, then you have the Spectrum is still alive, and
if you do not develop without progress,
then, stamping on the ground, we have a huge vytopchem
pit, which itself then fell. Well
enough philosophy, our proposal: let us all choose the type of 
modem that is going to work, and with manufacturing problems 
(hopefully) will not. And maybe there enthusiasts who sleep 
with a soldering iron in hands, and assembly of simple data sets

will bring them not only material assistance,
but also moral satisfaction? In addition,
Now, many praised XTR-MODEM St. Petersburg production company 
X-TRADE. Speed a decent, comfortable, connects directly to the 
bus, and the price is low (on rumored to be not more than $ 
10). Maybe there is a meaning simply adopt these modems. In 
short, write, no letter without attention will not leave.



     Objection to the third. I have no phone, so what do I give 
up this grid? As I walked from the diskette and go ...



     Answer: Yes, there is no admission against breakage.
But the answer ... Have you ever
in the past to sit up late at night from a friend
(Girlfriend) looking vidak whom you have
no? And remember the night the collective
vigil in front of the TV with a single
happy owner of "zone" commercials seven years
ago? If you enjoy these things has passed away,
then my only regret. : (
And yet, Draw your own conclusions ...


                  *


     In short, you can stretch this "pluralism" has 10 
kilobytes, but our view such - ZXNET in Tula to be! And what is 
it be - depends on you. We hope that our journal will 
contribute to networking in Tula (and the region, you never 
jokes?). Write to the issue we will return in the next issue 
and hope that second article will hear is your feedback. And 
you never can tell, we will already begin decisive action on 
the organization of the network. 


Maybe this is to put an end?


I would not like ...
