Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4100 (PACKET RADIO)
Craig, I saw a message over the packet radio network from someone who had sortware to do the software TNC function with a 100/200. He was still checking it out to make sure it worked properly and was asking for a list of peopled that wanted copies. I don't have that message with me now, but I'll send a copy to you next time I log back in so that you can get on the list too. . Popular software TNC programs for the MSDOS world are Baycom and PMP (Poor Man's Packet). I haven't used any of these, but my impression is that there seems to be some tweaking needed to keep them running. For my money, it's hard to beat a $125 MFJ 1270 TNC hooked to your 100, using the DIRACC program so you can jump from Telecom to Text to read/edit a file you just downloaded. See the program list in the help files area for others you might want. Although a lot of people don't seem to like them, I find a DVI to give you an 80 col screen real nice when working packet BBS's, that give you an 80 col output. . If you got operational, drop me a line:N9ADS @ W9INX.IN 73 and congratulations on getting your license.
