ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Alexey Ivanov To All 26 May 1997


Hello All!

I'm just amazed :(
I can't even believe that the Spectrum is so fast that it fits in intercity.
Read for yourself.

Below we publish a letter received by Victor (FARAON) directly from the city of Lviv via CDOS modems (no joke). develop,
and the guys from Lvov want to cooperate with ZXNet. At the next
Network Council, this information will be brought to the Regional
Coordinator of ZXNet, but for now, with the permission of the authors of the letter and
the addressee, we are publishing the letter. We think that everything is clear!


Hello, Victor!
This is a message to you from Sergey from Lvov (remember, you
sent two for me). modem?). If you are reading this letter, then we
we managed to connect, which is good news.
I must say that while experimenting with modems, Andrey
(you know him too) found the most optimal circuit solution.
Instead of a transmitting transistorKT940 I installed a composite transistor (KT503E + KT940) according to the Darlington circuit. This modification
aurally expanded the frequency range towards high frequencies, and
practically improved communication at high speeds. In addition,
I increased the resistor that occupies the line (560 Ohms) to 750 Ohms,
thus I achieved the transmission of a signal of greater
amplitude into the line.
I don’t know how important these modifications can be for
Moscow telephone lines, but for Lvov they significantly
improve the operation of the modem as a whole.

I also want to inform you that in Lvov so far, as far as I know, no one has modems. I want to try to fill this “gap” a little. There are people who will help
manufacture and distribute modems in Lviv. The circuit solution, I can’t say that it was roughly “ripped off” from your
modem, since there are a large number of modifications taking into account
our lines and the available equipment. In addition,
I could have come up with a schematic diagram of the modem myself, since
I am a circuit designer, but I did not have a description of the control
signals that go to it, and I didn’t really want to mess around with the program
.
I think that the computer
network will develop in Lvov, MoscowNot only will ZX-NET not lose, but it will also
win. And we will not be able to compete with you in terms of modems,
since the distance between us is one and a half thousand kilometers, and
the road is very expensive.
In connection with this, Victor, I need a test version of the modem,
and also the ZX-NET charter would not hurt. I will be very grateful and
I will try not to remain in debt.


Sincerely, Sergey. 05.22.97


P.S. Andrey will call you for an answer,
since he sometimes manages to call
for free.
