Msg 45994 is 06 line(s) on 01/02/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BENJAMIN COHEN re: R/NEW TOYS? I, too, got a Sportster 2400/9600 modem (for work), and WinFaxPro, but it would NOT work under OS/2. I understand release 3 should work, but instead I took it back and bought PM FAX, which I've not had time to try. MTEZ is kind of funny - not sure I understand it. I know that higher levels of MNP implement synchronous transfer, to avoid the time wasted by sending start and stop bits, and obviously software can't do that. Msg 45995 is 08 line(s) on 01/02/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/RE: TOYS I gave my brother a Sharp 5200 for Xmas - the only reason I did was that he was interested in a "Brother" or "Royal" or some "off" brand, that was about as big, but not as full featured. This way I can back his up (occasionally) when I visit, etc. Also I can help him with usage tips (and he taught me a thing or two by more patiently reading the book). SMALL - "really small" - would be a distinct advantage - and being able to hook to a PC is important (but typically, expensive: nearly $100). Msg 45996 is 07 line(s) on 01/02/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ELI LEHRER re: INTERVIEW Tell me more about the "research", please. Ask a few questions, I'll respond online. Kind of burned out on the interview process, what with having invented BBSs (and coined the term "BBS"). I DO presume you know this is the worlds first BBS, about to celebrate its 15th anniversary in February. What is your research for? A write-up? A magazine? Club newsletter? Where is 203? Msg 45997 is 06 line(s) on 01/02/93 from BILL MATTSON to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/MSC 7.0 & IBM C SET/2 No, I was referring to use of equivalent calls in each of the two systems, MSC SDK, and IBM C Set/2. There seems to be similarity, as one would expect, but still lots of naming difference to keep us busy. Not calls for Windows, but window calls as in window function calls, handles, creates, messages, etc. I have the SDK also, and have found some of Microsoft's sample programs to be more functionally complete than IBM's. Msg 45998 is 09 line(s) on 01/02/93 from ANDY SHAPIRO to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/RE: TOYS Yeah. You're right about the PC hookup - I was amazed when I saw the price (today). Still, it's a really nice little critter. Keyboard has little rubber keys, a one-time SHIFT as well as a CAPS LOCK. Everything beeps when you hit it, don't know if it can be silenced, but the beep is nice with something that small. The screen was good and I THINK it had adjustable contrast. Once nice feature (from my point of view) was that there was nothing electronic in the TOP of the case - it was just a door, with some instructions pasted in it. That helps make this a thin little unit. Msg 45999 is 10 line(s) on 01/03/93 from TONY ANTONUCCI to WARD & ALL re: TOYS I got a Fotoman (actually I bought it a few weeks before Xmas). Takes up to 32 pictures (Black & White) which then download into the computer via a serial link. You use a Windows program to preview & edit them. Pretty nice. Needless to say this years Xmas cards included the dreaded Xmas letter With PICTURES! I'm learning there is quite difference in taking photos with the Fotoman then a real camera. It will be making an appearance at the CBBS birthday party. I would like to know if anyone will be bringing a laptop/notebook that is capable of running Windows?? If so I will bring the software and we can view/edit the pictures.right away! Perhaps a "group" photo of those that attend! dup. chars. >Function:?
