*"It's the best reference work on small computer communications I
know of."* --Jerry Pournelle, Byte Magazine
THE MODEM REFERENCE
Complete Guide to Selection, Installation, and Applications of
Modems, Communications Software, and Online Services
All-New Second Edition
* Completely Revised and Expanded
Telecommunications is no longer the exclusive province of hackers
and technoids. What was once a dream for the personal computer
owner is now a reality. Millions of modem users dial up computer
bulletin boards and commercial online services every day, and you
can be one of them. A whole new world is out there waiting to be
discovered, and Michael Banks' THE MODEM REFERENCE is here to
help you chart your course through it and make the most of your
modem.
THE MODEM REFERENCE is your expert guide, with answers to
virtually any question you might have about computer
communications, including computer FAX, electronic mail, file
transfers, troubleshooting online and off, and much more. THE
MODEM REFERENCE covers the most basic questions as well as
complex issues in plain English. More than 200 photographs,
diagrams, and sample screens illustrate the text.
In short, this book is the complete reference guide to using
modems, communications software, and online services. Whether
you're an experienced telecommunicator or you've just bought your
first modem, THE MODEM REFERENCE is your personal
telecommunications consultant.
Beginners reading THE MODEM REFERENCE can learn how to:
* Select the right modem and communications software
* Install communications hardware and software and get online NOW
* Evaluate and use online services and BBSs
* Use E-mail, transfer files, chat with other users online, and
automate your online sessions
* Troubleshoot and solve problems online and off quickly and with
ease
You'll know exactly what to do and what to expect before you
ever sign on. Special sections of the book let you look over the
author's shoulder as he signs on to various BBSs, networks, and
online services. Banks also provides "previews" of what's
available on services such as BIX, CompuServe, GEnie, DELPHI, and
others, and summaries of popular services' commands. And he
teaches you how to explore a BBS or online service and learn to
use it.
Experienced modem users will expand their telecommunications
horizons. Among other things, Banks shows you how to:
* Use packet-switching networks
* Make cables
* Streamline your online activities to save time and money
* Understand telecommunications' most complex elements at the
most basic level
This, of course, is just the tip of the iceberg. It's safe to
say that you'll find this 559-page manual even more valuable than
your modem!
Also included is an extensive "Shopper's Guide" containing
detailed information and special offers for a variety of
hardware, software, and online services.
Everything you need to know on the subject is here in this jam-
packed volume. Banks has taken a complex and frequently confusing
subject and explained it thoroughly and with a clarity unmatched
in the computer field. Take advantage of the wealth of
information that awaits you online with the number one guide to
computer communications: THE MODEM REFERENCE--don't log on
without it!
