Chapter 298 HELLC reappears

Lin Hong has not been to the electronic market in the provincial capital before. He just took the opportunity to get the software and went for a walk.

There is an underground market similar to the early Zhongguan village, and there are also game consoles and accessories for sale. Of course, there are more computer-related accessories and software, as well as some basic electronic components.

Where you buy software in summer, there are two or three merchants selling floppy disks and games. Because the software here is new and complete, it is a little famous in the whole Changsha City. The shopkeeper I met in the summer was named Xie Jinhui. He was in his twenties. Because he ranked third at home, someone called him the third or the third.

He received summer very warmly. In the past few days, he has been running here when he had nothing to do in the summer. In addition, the two of them have the same personality. They are very familiar with each other.

"Lao San, this is my good brother, Lin Jiang, I'll take him over." Xia Tian did not directly say that Lin Hong was the boss of Tricolor Fire Technology, but only a colleague.

"Yo, distinguished guest, hello, hello, welcome!" Although Xie Jinhui is young, after years of social hard work, he has practiced his exquisite personality and is also very sophisticated in dealing with people.

"Hello, thank you, boss." Lin Hong nodded to him and didn't say much. After greeting, he focused his attention on the floppy disks on the shelf.

Seeing that Lin Hong didn't like to talk much, Xie Jinhui didn't bother him anymore, but said to Summer, "Summer, I have copied all the software you want to this floppy disk, and there are several other compression software that need to be used, such as arj, lha and zip."

"Thank you!"

"Hey, do we still need to say thank you?" Xie Jinhui waved his hand, "These software are all on Huiduo.com. Haven't you been on it before?"

"No. I've never heard of this before. Last time I looked for domestic bbs on the Internet, but I couldn't find any of them. To be honest in summer.

"I often wander around cfido. Come on, if you are really unfamiliar with it, I can give you a general overview."

"That's good!" Xia Tian took a look at Lin Hong when he heard the words.

Xie Jinhui sat down in front of his computer, started the computer, and entered the ccdos system.

"Lao San, why are you still using ccdos? Didn't I tell you last time that window95 has come out? There are some strange questions in summer.

"That system is good, but it consumes too much resources. My machine can't stand it." Xie Jinhui said with some regret, "Moreover, at present, Windows95 does not support Chinese very well, and many software that enter the cfido network cannot run. This is because these software need to plug in the Chinese system under dos, and the cfido system uses a lot of ascii character graphics, and the country. There is a conflict in the Chinese code, and the requirements for plug-in Chinese are relatively high.

Lin Hong saw that he began to demonstrate here and also came over.

Xie Jinhui launched a software called "telix". The dos interface, white characters on a black background, and a color menu interface. The text in it are all Chinese characters, which shows that this is a Chinese version.

"This is a special dial-up software for connecting to the cfido network. With a telephone line, a computer, a modem and this software, you can successfully dial Huiduo.com." Xie Jinhui introduced.

This software is a bit like the dial-up software in the Internet, but the protocols of the two networks are completely different. The protocol used by Huiduo Network is based on the zmodem protocol, while the Internet is the tcp/ip protocol.

"The sites I often go to include Xian's starlight bbs and Shenzhen's ponysoft bbs. Now I'll connect ponysoft bbs to show you."

After Xie Jinhui's dialing was completed, a software called "bwave" was called out, whose Chinese name was "Lanbo Express".

"This Rambo Express is the most popular offline bbs client on Huiduo.com. You can use it to directly connect to each bbs to browse."

Xie Jinhui said and entered a phone number. The area code is deep z. After entering, the screen shows that it is connecting.

Soon, the whole picture turned blue, and a bbs interface was displayed. The top shows the current time and date, and the middle is the division of the plate, roughly including "deep zhen local", "anti-virus area", "application software", "international interconnection", "game secrets" and "the whole network". Gossip"...and so on.

You can use some shortcut keys to operate these sections or posts.

At the bottom of the screen, the name of bbs "ponysoft bbs" and the name of the webmaster "ponyma" are displayed.

Xie Jinhui continued: "The webmaster of this ponysoftbbs is called Ma Huateng. His site is connected very fast. It is said that there are four telephone lines in total. It's not cheap to set up such a bbs. Tens of thousands of yuan is a conservative estimate.

Summer couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard the words: "Is it so expensive to set up such a bbs?"

"Of course it's expensive! However, if you only use one wire, you can't use so much money. The current price of applying for a wire is less than 10,000 yuan, which is about 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. However, in this way, the number of people connected at the same time is very small, which is not conducive to the development of bbs. This Ma Huateng is definitely not simple, because it can pull four wires to set up bbs at the same time, which is not what ordinary people can do.

The cost of setting up a bbs is so expensive. What is the purpose of these people setting up a bbs?

Thinking of this, Summer asked, "Lao San, how can these bbs make a profit? Do you charge for your visit?

"Charge?" Xie Jinhui looked at the summer strangely, "No, it's all free."

"Then don't they lose money every year? How can you invest so much money in this?

Tens of thousands of yuan is a very large amount at this time. The ordinary boss's surname is family, and he may not be able to earn thousands of yuan all year round.

"I don't know about this. The poor can't afford to play with this thing. Only rich people can play with it. Xie Jinhui sighed.

When I heard the words in summer, I couldn't help but agree.

If he hadn't met Lin Hong, he would have had no access to these things at all. You know, at the beginning, their family even had to calculate the dishes in the pool every day, and they still owed a lot of money to their relatives outside.

And now, what he touches, a computer costs nearly 10,000 yuan, and a modem costs more than 1,000 yuan. If you connect to the Internet and do nothing, it will cost dozens of yuan an hour.

The contrast between them is too different. It's completely two different lives and two different classes.

In Lin Hong's eyes, this kind of bbs based on the Huiduo website is actually not much different from the bbs on the Internet, but slightly simple.

He also agreed with what Xie Jinhui said at the end. At present, those who can play with this kind of thing are definitely rich people. For ordinary families, they dare not think about it.

However, Lin Hong believes that these costs will be reduced sooner or later. At present, they are so expensive, mainly because these things are still relatively rare. When they are gradually popularized, the price will also come down, and the same is true for Internet fees. At that time, it will be the real spring of the Internet.

When Lin Hong and others went back, they simply bought a second-hand one in the electronics market because they were worried that the company's modem was not universal.

After coming back, Lin Hong immediately connected to the ponysoftbbs on Xie Jinhui, read all the posts in it, then logged in to several other common bbs, and scanned some important contents. Finally, he made a comparison with Huiduo.com in China. Intuitive understanding.

Huiduo.com is global, and there are such networks abroad.

The management of this Huiduo network also refers to the management rules of amateur radio. Each site has its own specific number, which is equivalent to a call sign.

The entire organizational structure of Huiduo Network is from top to bottom, namely, continent, region, network, node and point station. The number of the site is named according to this rule.

And each continent, region and network has its own coordinator, that is, the continent coordinator, the regional coordinator and the network coordinator. Usually responsible for coordinating the relationship between these sites, organizing activities and so on.

Generally speaking, the core user group of the whole Huiduo network has been transferred from amateur radio enthusiasts.

Their unified characteristics are that they love technology, like new things, have a strong ability to accept new things, and have a certain degree of economic freedom to do what they like.

This circle can be said to be more niche than the ham circle.

After learning about this, Lin Hong was surprised and very happy. After all, China is not as backward as he thought, and there are still many technical elites paying attention to the world's cutting-edge technology. They discuss various interesting topics through cfido, including more advanced technologies, such as operating systems and virus technology, as well as international Internet technology.

On the one hand, the reason for choosing cfido network is that the domestic Internet development is relatively backward, and on the other hand, it may be to save costs for users.

Lin Hong wanted to know more about the technical details, such as the details of the zmodem protocol and the specific hardware and software for setting up bbs, but he did not find what he wanted to see from these existing posts.

So, he posted a post on several relatively large-scale bbs, such as Xi'an's morning light bbs, Shenzhen's ponysoftbbs, and Zhuhai's West Point bbs, asking for the technical details, and pointed out at the end of the post: "I'm linx The u operating system is familiar. This is a very good open source operating system. I want to take some time to implement the dialing software and bbs browsing software under this operating system. I hope you will not hesitate to give me some advice. Thank you! -hellc"
