Modemization - the third millennium is upon us, and our small, but unique Speccy computer is still alive.

   Now it's  1999 , right around the corner
third millennium, and ours is small, but
its unique computer is still alive
and healthy. Today we can say anything
100%,that this is the only eight-
bit computer of such a respectable age
the one to which cool people still write today
prog.                                    
 However, in order to Speccy
lived for several more decades :), ob-
it is imperative to establish operational
connection between spektrumists in each, from
well taken city. And there you look,
communication is also being established between cities (for example
using the World Wide Web).  Especially
This connection is relevant in big cities
(and not very big ones either), because I moved out
go to friends for software from one end
cities to another will take a considerable amount
time. In the same time with a modem
you can download an entire disk (or even several)
co). True, if you are planning to record de-
hundreds of disks, then of course you will have to use

ta. And if it’s raining outside or what else xy-
Well, the frost is -60 degrees (and we are inSiberia
sometimes it even reaches -90 :)), then what to do
then?. You'll have to break it off :(. But you can
and don’t break off, but get yourself a momed
and download the software in small portions :), by
as free time becomes available.        
   True, if you don’t have a phone, then here
no momed will help :(. Although here too
there is a way out - you can use the service
bastard neighbor's phone line :), but this
only at night (although for this
You can also get it in the head :)). At least
at least  Diamond has been laying down for a long time
such a pig to your neighbors :).             
   On the other hand, you can come to an agreement with
neighbors so that they would allow you to use
call their phone at night (for example,
measures for a reasonable fee).                  
                                          
   And in general, a modem is not only
way to obtain software.Using a modem
you can work very quickly on development
personal joint projects  (especially
if you and your friends live on opposite sides
cities). After all, every time you go back and forth,
to show and discuss the results of the work
Bots are very annoying. But if there ismo-
honey: transferred the necessary files, right there
looked and immediately discussed the whole matter
by phone.                              
                                          
   And one more thing.  If you organize a grid, then
there will be an opportunity to communicate with others
spektrumists of your city (of course, if
they will also use the net), you can
will receive new versions of systems,
latest issues of electronic newspapers, etc. and
etc. Well, if you organize an output to FIDO
(enough for Speccyput Hayes), then
In general, countless opportunities will open up
communication with everyoneSpeccy World. How do you like it
such an opportunity - to correspond for example
measures with Slava Mednonogov or for example
with Fatality?  Moreover, you will have to wait for the answer
much less time (unless of course he
will be written and sent :)), than if
you used regular mail services.  
                                          
   Why then not just put
Hayes modem?  Yes, because it’s far from yeveryone has10-30 bucksto purchase it
shading.  This suggests itself:
water - save your bucks, gentlemen, spektrumists :).
Or install a regular Vicomm modem  and
don't break off. Terminals for it
cha. It's very easy to make. And even if
to make into crowbars, then you can just cut
drink, and it costs several
times (or even tens of times) lower than y
Hayes'a  and is about 2-2. 5 tank-
owls                                      
 If you don’t want to spend that much
(and you’re doing the right thing, it’s better to have a beer-
drink),  then use the diagram given -
noah in this issue. It is very simple -
only cheap consumer goods are used
some details. I'm not even talking about settings
- it couldn’t be simpler :).  Moreover, the scheme is already
tested and fully functional. On

dema - everything works fine.

At the moment there is no such grid. And this despite the fact that

Here is... the largest
