"The SYSOP to SYSOP Signon Special"

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. 

Who can I contact for more information?
     Please call SHARP Technical Support, toll free at 800-562-7427
	 or call the Sharp Technical Support BBS at 714-261-6610.
