Being there: remote networking
Article Abstract:
Remote networking allows the trading of documents and messages with writers outside the office. Two modems and a remote bridge or gateway are all that are required to add to a local area network to provide remote networking. The local network bridge provides two functions: it acts as a sentry to reduce overall network traffic by creating zones for each department, and it links two in-house networks. A remote bridge functions similarly, but uses a modem and telephone line to link diverse networks. A bridge and a modem are needed at both ends of a remote network. Network gateways allow information to pass between otherwise incompatible networks. The Hayes Interbridge is the most expensive of three remote-network products tested. Shiva Netserial X232 is the least expensive but least versatile. A 9,600-bps high-speed modem, costing $1,300 and up, is required for all but the most casual use.

Presentation Technologies Image Maker
Article Abstract:
Presentation Technologies Inc's $4,995 Image Maker slide viewer presents outstanding quality slides, so long as they are simple text slides. But graphics limitations are considerable. Slide color is rich and the clarity is crisp even when viewed at long-range distance. But this is the only machine which could not handle the bit-mapped graphic element in the test slide. It double exposes overlapping colors and overlaid lines of type. Image Maker requires the user to change cartridges when a new typeface is needed, making batch processing of multi-typeface slides an impossibility. Plug-and-play installation, with no board required, is a plus in the IBM PC version. This model rates three stars if used for text slides only. The Macintosh version requires a 512K, Plus, SE, II, or IIx. The PC version requires an IBM PC, XT, AT or compatible with RS-232 serial port.

Article Abstract:
Digital cameras may produce results as good as a traditional film camera. Professional photographers have the convenience of viewing their shots onscreen, and sending the final shot straight into the production stream. A buyer's guide illustrates a wide range of digital cameras. Some may prefer to purchase a full system, with lens, shutter, and digital capture circuitry; or a digital camera back to use with existing camera equipment. For capturing a full-page image, a digital camera should record true-color images of at least 3,000 by 3,000 pixels at a speed similar to that of film. A one-chip, one-shot field camera offers a faster imaging speed but lower resolution. The one-chip, three or four shot design makes multiple exposures on a plain array, using a color filter wheel to ensure capture of color values at each pixel.
