June 30, 1992 -- SAN DIEGO--Most people don't know they can: Get fantastic discounts on travel, shop for groceries, purchase a new car, catch up on their soaps, get the latest sports information, find out what movies are hot and which ones to rent, read up on restaurant reviews, do their banking, and shop the personals, all without leaving their home. You can do all of this and more with a modem. Jim Kimble's book How to Get Started With Modems helps guide you through all aspects of modeming--from purchase to installation and use. In the last three years the number of computer users using modems has increased ten fold. But this still leaves 90% of computer users who don't know or who don't understand the capabilities available through the modem. As modem prices decrease--and their speed and endurance increase even more computer users will be using on-line services and bulletin board systems for everything from joining a political debate to reading their horoscope. In How to Get Started With Modems, Jim Kimble gets you started in the world of modems, and shows you how to: Buy the best model of modem for you, install and set up a modem on your computer, understand those confusing modem terms, save money while on-line, get communications software for free, start your own bulletin board system, access your work computer from home and learn about the international telecommunications standards. Basically the concept is simple and rewarding. As Kimble states, "Modems are nifty little devices that allow your computer to communicate with other computers over ordinary phone lines . . . You can now exchange messages with people in other cities, states and countries for the price of a phone call." How to Get Staffed With Modems is one in a line of 18 easy-to-read books about computers published by Computer Publishing Enterprises (CPE) of San Diego, California.
