way to get 'em, then, to make sure you REALLY wanted 'em (since on most

No big deal. Musta been line noise. We're back on an old Courier external

to ALL re: WARNING ABOUT COMPUTER STORE
|
|
|
|
In selecting a microcomputer vendor one should be very careful
|
|
about how they treat both their customers and staff. DOS
|
|
Computer Centers of Park Ridge and Niles are in serious financial
|
|
staights. All their vendors have them on credit hold. It is
|
|
difficult for them to deliver product. All their good service
|
|
and support staff have left for greener pastures. They have a
|
|
bare bones sales staff that probably does have the time to take
|
|
care of you. They treat their staff poorly, keeping them in the
|
|
dark about the real problems. The sales staff is forced to
|
|
withold the truth from customers.
|
|
I am a highly skilled microcomputer specialist now looking for
|
|
a new job. I've been using micros for over eleven years. I
|
|
have masters and bachelors degrees from Columbia University
|
|
(New York City). My specialties are desktop publishing, infor-
|
|
mation flow, word processing, and problem solving.
|
|
If you want to know the "emes" leave a message here. If you
|
|
know of a job or just want to chat about the industry give me a
|

|
|
to BILL WODARCZYK re: R/MODEMS
|
|
|
|
The first thing to do is to establish whether the problem is in your phone
|
|
line or in your modems. There are two ways to do that: 1) borrow a modem
|
|
(preferably from a different vendor than the ones you have), connect it to
|
|
your line, and see what performance you get 2) (possibly easier) take your
|
|
modems over to someone else's line and try them out.
|
|
If the line is the problem, check whether there's enough noise to inter-
|
|
fere with voice communications. If there is, the phone company will have
|
|
to fix it (they AREN'T obligated to fix problems that affect data only
|
|
unless you're paying extra for what amounts to a guarantee that they will).
|
|
You might check with vendors to see if they have some line noise filters.
|
|
Come to think of it, I have one lying around somewhere; I picked it up at a
|
|
hamfest.
|
|
Finally, don't judge your modems by their performance on connects to this BBS.
|
|
Right now it's running on a borrowed modem and has unusually severe line
|
|
noise, which should go away once Ward gets his regular modem fixed.

There is a product called TWIN from Mosaic Software, Inc. 1972 Massachusetts
|
|
Ave. Cambridge, MA 02140 which seems to be disk based and looks, tastes and
|
|
acts like lotus, except for some menu handling. I like their drop down
|
|
because it looks like the Wordstar drop down. They put it on two disks for
|
|
my portable at my request. I have LOTUS on my hard drive. So far
|
|
neither me nor my accountant (he uses LOTUS exclusively) that did not work
|
|
alike. He is quite apt at writing MACROS. OOps, I left out the verb found
|
|
in previous sentence. But, I think you will get the message. By the way
|
|
they have an integrated package for only a few dollars more with databases,
|
|
wordprocessors, etc. For my purposes I did not need so did not buy it.
|
|
Local software houses can get it for you. But they seem to be willing to
|
|
sell direct, also. Their phone 617-491-2434. Their version 3 came out
|
|
before LOTUS. I am using version 2 in Lotus and Advantage in TWIN.

to BRENT JONES re: R/W. SUBURBS USER GROUP?
|
|
|
|
Gee, I don't know about west suburban user groups. I live in the far
|
|
south suburbs, and "far west" (Wheaton, Schaumburg, etc) are like in
|
|
another state for me.
|
|
The PC club I am most involved in meets at the University of Chicago,
|
|
59th St. and almost the lake, so you can see why I like that one.
|
|
There's also CACHE, the oldest club in Chicago, which meets sort of
|
|
"Central" - DeVry, at about Belmont and Western (actually on Campbell
|
|
one block west), "3300 N. Campbell, approx 2500 west". They have a BBS,
|
|
not sure if it is members-only. 470-1691.
|
|
There is also a (I think larger) club in the Chicago area, which
|
|
probably has "chapters" in various areas - I remember hearing of one in
|
|
Harvey (far south where I am) but I'm not sure where to get you started
|
|
on finding that one, since I'm not directly involved in it, except when
|
|
asked to speak a few years ago. They tend to meet in the evening after
|
|
work downtown, dunno about the "chapters". Hopefully someone else will
|
|
answer your msg.
|
|
To find the info on that plastic, call IBM direct 1-800-IBM-2468 and
|
|
ask for their plotter transparencies. (Gad, the line noise is awful
|
|
today, I'm constantly editing out glitches! Must be the heat, and the
|
|
fact that our MNP (error correcting) modem is on the fritz).

Does 300 baud work OK? Sounds just like you have a noisy line. If you
|
|
can't find the noise on a VOICE call then the phone company won't fix

it for you. I know of ONE case where there was a bad "trunk" line between

my area (far south) and CBBS (near north) and they WERE willing to find

it because it went "tic.tic.tic" on a VOICE call. If your voice calls
|
|
are noisy, then report it and forget about the modem - THEN try the modem
|
|
again.
|
|
Your only other possibility is, if the line isn't TOO bad, to go to an
|
|
error correctinng modem and only call into systems that support error
|
|
correction (ARQ or MNP) (ARQ is US Robotics name for MNP), such as
|
|
this board (though our error correcting modem died and is in for service)
|
|
or others. That may slow down things, but short of a disconnect, you
|
|
stop getting line noise.

Eric, could you put a couple spaces at the front of a new paragraph?
|
|
Look at your msg 42046 - your very vaulable info is slightly less readable
|
|
due to being just blocks of lines. Don't put in blank lines - that
|
|
just spreads out the msg - but a couple space indent should work fine.
|

Thanks for your helpful participation in CBBS!
