To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I would expect a useful increase on good links by using an MTU of 1024, unless you have fast switching radios, though haven't actually used X-1J for IP. We got >500bps FTP rates between NOS systems as opposed to ~300bps with MTU of 256. TxDelay was 100mS.

My question is: are you, or do you know of anyone interested in this work, particularly regarding possible University grants/contracts.... Anyone with ideas on whom to contact... please reply -- - Terry G. =========================================================================== Dr. Terry G.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Thank you for reading this posting. I would like to know if it's possible to set up JNOS v1.10 so it will run from a laptop that has a single 720K floppy drive? If it IS possible, could you tell me what the key files are that I'd need (besides NOS.EXE and AUTOEXEC.NOS)?? Thanks, in advance, for your comments. 73 de John -- : : John E. Rumball : ... :.. :..

I am using the Nosview version. This version can not atach to appleltalk. I would like to attach my pc to localtalk using net TCP/IP. If somebody could help me, please send mail to me. Eduardo Millar Proyecto Enlaces e-mail:enlaCES.UFRO.CL ------------------------------ Date: 18 Mar 94 14:29:32 GMT From: news-mail-gateway@ucsd.edu Subject: Propagation and Radio System Engineering. To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Hi, This message is in response to emillar@enlces.ufro.cl 's message requesting information on propagation. The source article on this subject is "Radio Propagation Fundamentals" by Kenneth Bullington. It was published in the Bell System Technical Journal (BSTJ), Volume XXXVI, #3, May 1957. Of primary improtance to Packet Radio RF path engineering is the section on figuring Fresnel loss. This is the loss due to the path be partially occulted by the earth. Almost all terrestrial radio paths have this effect. Microwave paths, however can usually be engineered to reduce the effects, and thus greatly reduce the power requirements for a given path. Only when the beam width of the antenna, significantly attenuates in the direction of the interviening ground, between a transmitter and reciever, can the Fresnel Loss be ignored. If u are also interested in general Radio System Engineering, my article in the 7th (1988) ARRL CNC, would also be of interest to you. That is, Radio System Engineering, as it applies to Packet Radio. 73, Don. wb9mjn%wb9mjn.ampr.org@wb9uus.bradley.edu ------------------------------ End of Ham-Digital Digest V94 #74 ******************************
