Msg 43239 is 05 line(s) on 02/18/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to JIM REDMAN re: R/WHERE'S THE NOISE? USR 9600 installed last week. Must be a better modem - or perhaps you, like me, have MNP capability? I guess if CBBS goes back to 2400 so Randy can have a 2nd 9600 on Chinet (which surely needs it better - tons more info per day there - etc) we should at least go to a better modem here - perhaps MNP? Msg 43240 is 02 line(s) on 02/18/90 from BILL WOLFF to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/SMALL PC? Hmm. wouldn't you be better off buying a cheap ready made clone? Or perhaps if space is a problem, a XT laptop with a V20 CPU! Msg 43241 is 05 line(s) on 02/19/90 from JIM POLOUS to ALL re: TINY MSDOS COMPUTER I just purchased the new Atari Portfolio MS-DOS based computer. In fact I am using it now to access the system. It has a very readable 8 x 40 character display and a small, but easy to adapt to keyboard. I downloaded this terminal emulator for it from CompuServe, if anyone wants any more information about it, just let me know. happy to explain. Msg 43242 is 05 line(s) on 02/19/90 from JOSEPH SKOM to JIM POLOUS re: R/TINY MSDOS COMPUTER Jim, I was thinking of picking this one up, but I have a question. If it doesn't come with a terminal program, how did you access CompuServe to get the terminal emulator? If you can tell me that, I will definitely pick up this cool machine. Msg 43243 is 09 line(s) on 02/19/90 from BILL WOLFF to JIM POLOUS re: R/TINY MSDOS COMPUTER From what I know about the new Atari Portfolio, it is very much like Epson's PX-8 Geneva. Except the Geneva is/was a CP/M computer. It has and does serve my well. It's version of SuperCalc, isn't compatible with anything although. But WordStar, Term, CP/M utilities, etc. are excellent. In fact, some maybe better off with a CP/M laptop with 128K than with a MS-DOS with 128K. Because with CP/M with 64K, you can run almost anything. But with MS-DOS with 128K, you can run almost nothing! Msg 43244 is 02 line(s) on 02/19/90 from ERIC BOHLMAN to WARD re: LINE NOISE I don't use MNP, and the line noise is gone for me as well. I use a plain old Courier 2400. Msg 43245 is 02 line(s) on 02/20/90 from ROY LIPSCOMB to WARD re: APCU MEETING I hear a rumor that APCU is meeting this week sometime.
