-
- Introduction:
- The SHARP Digital Information Products (SDI) SYSOP to SYSOP Signon
- Special presents an opportunity for qualified Bulletin Board System
- operators to obtain a SHARP 9624 internal or SHARP 9624e external modem
- at specially reduced rates.
-
- What is special about SHARP 9624 Modems?
- SHARP 9624 modems are the affordable high-speed modem. With EBR
- (Extended Baud Rate) and MNP5 data compression/error correction, you'll
- send and receive data at speeds up to 9600 bps error free. If the data
- is compressible, e.g. ANSI screens, ASCII files, .EXE files, then your
- throughput will be near 9600 bps. If the data is pre-compressed, e.g.
- .ZIP files, then the minimum throughput will be at least 4800 bps.
- Through EBR, the SHARP 9624 provides a 4800 bit per second full-
- duplex channel (between SHARP modems only) that transfers data twice as
- fast as 2400 MNP5 modems. Yet, the 9624 remains compatible with both your
- budget and everyone else's dial up modems at 2400, 1200 and 300 bps.
- Note: The SHARP 9624 modems are not HST compatible, nor are they
- V.32 compatible.
-
- Why should my BBS have one?
- If your BBS is running a 2400 modem and you want more throughput,
- but can't afford expensive V.32 technology, then the SHARP 9624 makes
- sense for your BBS. If your BBS is busy long-distance transferring files
- or net-mail, then you can use SHARP EBR-equipped modems to reduce your
- phone bill.
- If your BBS uses full-duplex protocols, like BIMODEM, then the SHARP
- 9624 EBR-equipped modems provide you with simultaneous 9600 bps upload
- and 9600 bps download capability.
-
- What did BYTE Magazine say about EBR and the 9624 modems?
- OCT '90 ... "When the (9624e) modems connected and the green EBR
- light went on, it was immediately apparent that the data was traveling
- much faster. The slow graphics screen updates that I'd grown used to were
- considerably faster with the Sharp modems" ... "it's solidly built" ...
- "a unit built for heavy full-time use" ... "At $399, the 9624e is an
- excellent value. And for $299, the internal model is an unbeatable deal."
-
- How much will it cost me?
- Much less than the suggested retail of $299 for the 9624 internal
- and $399 for the external. The SYSOP price for the 9624 internal modem
- is $149 and the SYSOP price for the 9624e external modem is $199.
-
- Where do I get one?
- First, you need to complete and return the SYSOP AUTHORIZATION and
- SYSOP ORDER forms along with payment. Upon verification of payment and
- status as SYSOP of a working BBS, SHARP will ship the unit(s) requested.
