To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some information detailing the different price/performance options available for an amateur radio setup capable of communicating with the internet via packet radio. I'm trying to get a feel for the amount of equipment required to get started, to see if this is something I could afford to do as a hobby. I have a fast computer, and I need a radio, TNC, antenna, special modem (?). I am also unclear on how one becomes connected to the net. Are there any other options I should consider for wireless internet service before choosing Amateur Radio Packet? Thanks alot for any information. -- -Chris May, Computer Science, University of MA, Amherst - Technical Assistant, P.C.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I just installed the UNIX variant Coherent on my PC, and was wondering if anyone out there has been able to use it for packet? I run JNOS in the DOS world, and enjoy being able to use TCP/IP. It would be way cool to be able to do this from Coherent. I know that there are AX.25 drivers available for Linux. Are they usable with Coherent? Is there a version of JNOS available for Coherent? Basically, my question is that I have Coherent installed, so how can I integrate Packet Radio with it? 73! -Jim, N9ONL -- James W.

Thanks for reading this mail. I am wondering if anyone can kindly give me info on following questions! 1) Can I use KAMPlus 7.0 under UNIX operating system? 2) Is there any terminal software which can talk to KAMPlus? 3) How do I connect and initialise the TNC under UNIX just to talk to it? 4) Is there any known public or shareware or even commercial software which will control the KAMPlus under UNIX operating system? NB: The UNIX runs on Apple Macs and NCSA. I would deeply appreciate your help on this issue. Thanks!

I want to be able to delete letters after they have been sent, but I cannot find anywhere in Pakratt the PK232 WORDOUT command, which enables this to happen. Have AEA just forgotten to put it in? Have I missed it somewhere? Is there a way round the problem? -- Robert Wright.
