A standard modem cable will work fine with the TNC and the Mac.I get better results by setting my abaud to 9600... Will be glad to be of more assistance.Matter fact,I run a BBS that has a good collection of Ham related sharewae,might want to give it a call and see if you could use something. The phone number is 202-298-6009. Take care... ------------------------------ Date: 3 Aug 1994 20:12:58 -0500 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!dog.ee.lbl.gov!overload.lbl.gov!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!cs.utexas.edu!not-for-mail@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Amiga, baycom and amicom To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Greetings!

It's still the most popular modem when sending data over any type of radio link. The reason being that the 202 is the ONLY modem which does NOT require a full-duplex (ala phoneline) audio path to hear the modem at the far end before it considers itself connected. The reason why 1200/2200 FSK still remains popular with the amateur packet community is that it works and is presently the ONLY commercial modem standard that does work! -- Karl Beckman, P.E. < If this English language is so > Motorola LMPS.RNSG.Analog Data < precise, why do you drive on a > (Square waves & round corners) < parkway and park on a driveway? > Any opinions expressed here do not belong to or represent Motorola Inc.

How many tones? baud? protocol? >>Make it work with the common 500Hz IF filters. > As I understand the Telebit PEP protocol (used in Telebit landline modems), it divides the telephone bandwidth (3kHz) into 512 or so frequencies, then sends bits down each frequency. I believe they do use phase modulation on each frequency, since they are set up to send 0,2,4,6, or 8 bits per baud, per frequency. Given the earlier comments about HF propagation, something similar but without the phase stuff (i.e. 1 bit per baud) might be interesting, then restrict the width to the number of distinct frequencies that can fit in 500Hz. Telebit uses a TI 320xx chip (I forget which one is in the latest modem) to generate the waveform. It sounds downright ugly if you accidentally pick up a phone and listen... -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie Internet: dts@world.std.com Daniel Senie Consulting n1jeb@world.std.com 508-779-0439 Compuserve: 74176,1347 ------------------------------ End of Ham-Digital Digest V94 #260 ******************************
