  11. REVIEW OF:  EURO-AMERICAN CONNECTION (708) 296-0242 (Chicago Suburbs)
  12. ----------
  13.  
  14. GENE:  Hey, Rog' -- here's a new board, just started up in December, and I
  15.        think it has the potential to be one of the best boards in the country.
  16.        You go in at 9600 and get 1550+ CPS, all the warez on on-line, and they
  17.        all work. Can't beat that. You've seen the nearly 1 gig of space, and
  18.        there's plans to go multi line. The users are a nice mix of
  19.        instate/outstate. We've both read the message logs, and even you agree
  20.        that there's not a lamer in the bunch. The files are well ad says, it's
  21.        sure about the friendliest board I've been on. If you're having
  22.        problems, Hot Mix is usually around to help, and he doesn't hide like a
  23.        lot of sysops do.  And I like the feature that *ALL* users only get 60
  24.        minutes a day, not counting upload time, and that time returned for
  25.        uploads is a straight one-to-one. Keeps users from hogging or from
  26.        uploading garbage just for more time. And don't forget that HST
  27.        14,400!! One meg in 10 minutes!
  28.  
  29. ROGER: I dunno, Gene. I've seen lots of new boards, even good ones, come and
  30.        go, and too often they don't live up to their promise. The sysops get
  31.        lazy, the good users upload all their stuff, mooch what they can, then
  32.        move on. You're NAIVETE amazes me! Yeh, yeh, the messages are good, but
  33.        they're mostly about prolems with warez.  I personally like the
  34.        occasional flame and political discussion, and I didn't see any of that
  35.        there. I agree that all the fixin's are there for a super board, but
  36.        we'll see what it looks like in a year. But I'll admit that it's one of
  37.        the best new ones I've seen, and in just looking a file dates, it looks
  38.        like people are putting stuff up consistently.
  39.  
  40. GENE:  You're just jaded because Stealth went down and Berserker is still at
  41.        2400. C'mon! You *know* in your heart of hearts this is a darn good
  42.        board. And you can't beat the small user's fee--just a couple of bucks
  43.        a month--to store backup copies of stuff. And have you ever seen such a
  44.        generous u/d-load ratio as five-to-one?
  45.  
  46. ROGER: Look, I'm not knocking the board. But I've just seen to many fast
  47.        starts and quick stumbles.  If Hot Mix and the users can keep it up,
  48.        I'll eat my words. I hope they do. I'll even call it. I'll bet you
  49.        didn't know that the sysop's handle, "hot mix," is from his DJ days as
  50.        a hot mixer of records, did you?
  51.  -----RATING:  -----
  52.     GENE:  An enthusiastic 10!! THIS IS A GREAT BOARD!
  53.     ROGER: Yeh, ok, I'll concede. I give it a 9+ -- but ask me again next year
  54.  
  55. Here's what you see when you look on, Rog' -- there's lots of different areas
  56. and something for everybody. It's running TELEGARD, and that's about the
  57. hottest sysem around right now, and when 3.0 comes out, nothing will touch
  58. it!!

  387. Can ANYONE help me on this:
  388. I had an IBM (True Blue) XT with an Epson LQ1000 which worked fine all of the
  389. time. Well now I have upgraded to a 386 and when I plugged in my epson and try
  390. to print anything all I get is alot of $ > mixed into the file and it doesnt
  391. even look like the file I am trying to print. Can anyone help me out to get
  392. this working properly? Is there anything you have to include in the
  393. config.sys/autoexec.bat to get the printer to recognise the files properly?
  394. Thanks alot to anyone for any help.......I will try anything to get it to work
  395. with the 386.

  404.     First of all, is the printer serial or parallel? (or both), if u are using
  405. the parallel setup, the u might want start by checking your cables on a diff
  406. machine (but u said it worked on your xt, so that's not the culprit), second,
  407. if it is parallel setup, u want to try slowing your cpu down (if your computer
  408. allows it.....the computer could be shooting out the data too fast, and
  409. there's not enuf time to do handshaking, so you're getting shit printer
  410. out)...if it's serial, make sure your serial port is set at the same baud rate
  411. as the printer is....if it is, make sure u'r cable has its handshaking signal
  412. enabled (make sure the cable is wired properly).....(the first thing i would
  413. try is slowing the computer down, cuz high speeds usually do cause errors
  414. (especially at 33 MHZ!!!))
