.for the kind words. Yep, this is the place - first BBS ever.
|
|
Hope you weren't up here a few weeks ago trying to avoid the heat
|
|
of N. Carolina - we probably had you beat! I kind of like the rain
|
|
lately - the lawns look better, and I really don't like it when it
|
|
gets into the 80s or higher!

to VAUNE MONDT re: PRINTING
|
|
|
|
You asked if you can do a print screen. I don't know. That has nothing
|
|
to do with CBBS. If YOUR computer has a printer hooked up to it, if YOUR
|
|
computer has a print screen that works, if YOUR communications program
|
|
allows print screen, then YOUR computer can do a print-screen.
|
|
Perhaps what you don't realize is that the first line of the ? command
|
|
output says something like " ^S to stop ", and perhaps you aren't into
|
|
computers enough to realize that ^ means a "control", so ^S means
|
|
"Control s". But CBBS is even more friendly than that - it allows
|
|
just an S (or s) to be pressed to stop scrolling, and start it again
|
|
(sometimes it continues mysteriously, due to line noise that comes in).
|
|
P.S. if you DO get into using CBBS, please (if you can) turn off
|
|
your CAPS LOCK - most use CAPS FOR EMPHASIS.

to SCOTT TEIPE re: GOOD NUMBERS
|
|
|
|
Seriously? Wasn't the list of BBS numbers adequate???
|
|
OK, I'll answer your question. "No, I don't know any 'good
|
|
numbers' to call". That's a very "personal" thing. Some people don't
|
|
like CBBS because it has no file transfers. Others like it BECAUSE it
|
|
has no file transfers, and is therefore not always busy with people not
|
|
doing messages, which they prefer. (clearly, I'm one of the latter).
|
|
Look thru the list. It would take megabytes to have reviews of each,
|
|
and I doubt anyone would be willing to put in the effort.

You uploaded an unreadable message. Sorry you had problems. But please,

if a message is totally trashed (every line started in the middle of

a word) don't (S)AVE it, but rather (A)bort. Thanks!

|

Jim: Thanks for your interest. For the full configuration, I'm asking
|
|
2300/obo; for the "stripped" (i.e. without 387, "extra" meg of RAM, or
|
|
card/monitor) I'm asking 1600/obo.
|
|
Please note that I'm willing to bargain for price and/or trade for
|
|
super VGA card/multisync monitor and 80Mb+ SCSI or ESDI hd. I just
|
|
want to upgrade to a 'bigger' system for less cost than expansion
|
|
of my present system.

The drive-cleaning kits can do wonders to avoid various error messages.
|
|
I've found that using them once every 3-4 months works fine on a floppy-only
|
|
system, about once every 6 months on a floppy in a hard-drive system. Just
|
|
how often <you> should use them varies according to amount of use, environ-
|
|
mental conditions in the room where the computer is located, etc. But
|
|
forget the "once per week" or whatever the kits "recommend.".The kits
|
|
come in two varieties: wet and dry. I keep both around but <only> use the
|
|
wet type unless all else fails. Reason? The dry variety tends to be like
|
|
using sandpaper; it uses an abrasion principle which is hard on the
|
|
drive heads. But on a few occasions over the years I've found that it did
|
|
the job when the wet variety wouldn't.For what it's worth, I've found
|
|
prices vary substantially among dealers-worth a little shopping around.

|
|
|
|
You should have had carrier connect with the settings you used. It sounds
|
|
as though there was just too much line noise at the time. But one
|
|
possibility is that you were using the more common CCITT 300 bps standard
|
|
rather than the Bell 300 bps standard this country strangely insists on
|
|
using. I recall that my modems, which accept incoming calls at 300, 1200
|
|
or 2400, will only connect with callers using the worldwide (except the
|
|
U.S.) CCITT standard for two of the three speeds. (I don't recall which,
|
|
but the problem very well might be at 300.)
|
|
|
|
I enjoyed hearing of your call from Stuttgart, as I lived near there for
|
|
a year some time ago and still have friends there (about 30 k north of
|
|
there). Viel spass.
