to SHAWN BRYANT re: FILES
|
|
|
|
CBBS had really never had file transfer - it keeps people who
|
|
have messages to send or want to help answer, from using
|
|
the system. Since this is the world's first BBS, I'd rather people
|
|
get a chance to sign on and see a bit of history, than get a busy
|
|
signal because someone is DLing something they could get from
|
|
any of thousands of other places anyway.

to ARCADY KHOTIN re: R/HELLO FROM RUSSIA
|
|
|
|
Oh, that's a big request - I'm not into writing long articles, and really
|
|
don't have thoughts about what's happened to BBSs. Unfortunately, in a way,
|
|
my "fame" has allowed me to be a guest on Compuserve and BIX, and because
|
|
of that I've spent virtually NO time on any other BBSs than this one.
|
|
What do I think of the changes in your country? Well, sounds strange, but
|
|
I think the best is over. The "peak" was in overthrowing the old structure,
|
|
but now you're faced with reality of a -relatively- free-market society.
|
|
Heck, here even the company I work for has an office with a couple hundred
|
|
people and I think we've declared 27 people "surplus" and they'll be offered
|
|
other jobs in the "midwest area" (meaning up to hundreds of miles away), and
|
|
others encouraged to take an offer of compensation and leave the company.
|
|
I personally have been declared in the "upper half" of ranking so am not
|
|
worried, but things are MUCH tougher with a lot bigger emphasis on selling
|
|
our services.

|
|
Pardon the noise, but it's abad line from Schenectady.
|
|
|
|
Ward, I'm in love with my CompuAdd
|
|
Express machine!
|
|
Not only is the machine GREAT, but their SERVICE is good, too.
|
|
When the machine first arrived, it hgad some monitor
|
|
problems (image tilted slightly). I called them, and the next day
|
|
a new monitor (better quality) arrived from Texas, with
|
|
prepaid airfare for its sibling to go
|
|
back to texas. WOW. A week later I gave up on trying to
|
|
fix a problem with clock
|
|
drift. I called - and once again, they sent me out an
|
|
upgraded machine (2 extra MB of RAM). Thewy're fast,
|
|
DR DOS is SUPERIOR to MSDOS (hey, I used to use CP/M - I'm
|
|
surprised, too!), and the machine (now that teething is over) is very nice.
|
|
|
|
The Canon double drive is also neat - works just fine, and saves
|
|
a drive bay for other goodies.
|
|
|
|
I did get to do a little hardware hack (external). My office
|
|
hooks up to a VAX cluster through a Develcon Dataswitch. Now, the DSW
|
|
only looks at the following RS-232 lines - TD, RD, Sig Grnd, and DTR.
|
|
DR DOS has a built-in task switcher (speedy with all that RAM!), but it
|
|
forces DTR low when you switch away from a COM task. That meant that the
|
|
Dataswitch was hanging up on me, so backgrounding wasn't too useful. My
|
|
fix was to disconnect DTR from the computer, and wire the Dataswitch end
|
|
of DTR to a small Radio Schok power supply (nominal;
|
|
6 VDC). Now I have an eternal DTR ready! I LIKE THAT MACHINE (too
|
|
bad all I have at home is an original XT!).
