Hi folks - I'm considering writing an article on the Internet for a

articles from which I can garner some more information.  Any help
would be appreciated.

Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1992 05:38:23 GMT

        Two of my friends just bought a Smart One 2400 modem with 
MNP 2 through 7 by Best Data Products.  I suspect that earlier 
versions of this modem didn't have MNP because the manual says 
nothing about it.
 
        This brings me to my question: do you know what the "at"
commands are for controlling MNP with this modem?
 
        I have an EMAC 2400 with MNP 5 and the "at" commands are 
backslash commands.  For instance, at \n3 turns reliable mode (MNP) 
on etc.  But the % and \ commands I try to feed the Smart One give 
me back an error.
 
        There is a comm. program that comes with this modem that 
manages to get an MNP connection to places, but I don't want to use 
it (the program is called Comit).  And I can't get any info. out of 
the comm. program either.  I even copied the initialization string 
letter for letter to my other comm. program (Telemate) and dialed 
to the same place, but no MNP.  If case you wanted to know, the 
init. string given was at s0=0 q0 v1 x4 &c1 &d2.
 
        Please help!

Date: 14 Sep 92 18:16:49 GMT

Hello!

Did anyone look at the Performa 600 yet?  I only saw 400 on
shelf at Lechmere and Staples.

Couple of Q's"

1)	How much is Performa 400 and 600 CPU at your area?

	Here in Rochester, NY: Performa 400 CPU - $1450
			       Performa 600 CPU - $2000
			       Performa 600CD CPU - $2500

2)	Is the System 7.0P good comparing with regular 7.0?	

3)	Which company makes the tube for Performa's Monitors?
	{ I know  that Sony makes the Old Hi-Res Apple Mons}
	I think Performa's monitors are made in Taiwan [I am
        not saying that stuff from Taiwan is not good though!]

4)	Should we buy the regular Hi-Res instead of the new
        Performa's Hi-Res Monitor?

5)	There is no CACHE and CO-Processor for Performa,
        does it matter though?  For graphics and text processing.

Your comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

   I've only seen them in PC World.  I know MAc Connection is advertised 
somewhere, but I don't have a Mac.  They don't seem to advertise very much
but they seem to get great reviews.  Maybe if they had more customers they

Keith,  How do you define goodness?

If goodness is reviews of new hardware and software, product evaluations/
comparisons of similar products of the same class, practical tips to users,
you might look in PC Magazine for information on PC's.

In the case that your definition of goodness is different than mine, go to
you local library or magazine seller and thumb through what you find until
you find one that satisfies your definition of goodness.

Warm regards, Merle

P.C. Connection has moved its advertising somewhat upscale over the
years they've been in business.

I concur with all the raves, though I have similar feelings about
PC-Zone/Mac-Zone in Seattle. They are sometimes a little more
expensive than PC Connection, but they accept American Express cards,
which leaves me with a free doubled warranty. I recently paid $20 more
from them for a Colorado Memory Systems CMS250 tape drive because $20
seemed cheap to me for an additional 1 year warranty on something with
rotating parts. So I always price both places and decide on price
together with my judgement of the utility of the warranty extension.

Now if only the American Express Buyer Protection plan covered
software upgrades too......

	If I lived close enough, I would probably pick it up, if for no

Try ATTRIB -R IBM*.COM first. Also, I had to edit UPDATE.BAT a bit to

the -07 tells you that the chip is rated at 70 nanoseconds.  Once you figure
out what kind of packaging you are looking at (SIMM, SIPP, chips) you can 
order your new RAM.  I think that IBM computers use 9 bit RAM (1 parity bit)
and Macintoshes use 8 bit RAM (no parity), but don't quote me.

Only had tiny and small model (separate I&D in pdp11 notation). It was great

A hint from my experience: Look at the RAM in its factory packaging
before attempting to install.  Compare it to the look of your
existing RAM.  If they don't match, don't open the package, since
some distributors are picky about accepting returns of opened RAM
packages.

If the power supply can hack it, you can get a new motherboard for $80-$100

The serial and parallal/mono cards are probably $20 each new. You can upgrade
step by step pretty easily.
