Linux is the only supported OS at the moment. This is a redistribution of the standalone package, it does not specifically require the WAMPES931001 distribution to be run, it *should* work with the latest version of WAMPES just as well. To hopefully be found in /hamradio/packet/tcpip/wampes/.

This is a loosely-organised group set up to promote the use of TCP/IP networking protocols over radio in the UK, and to encourage the establishment of high-speed backbone links and network gateways. If you want to subscribe: Send mail to ukip-request@cs.nott.ac.uk. This is handled by a human rather than a listserver, so be polite :-) To post to the list: Send mail to ukip@cs.nott.ac.uk. Subscription requests and other administrative bits and bobs should go to ukip-request, _not_ to the list as this just means that lots of people read your subscription message and get cross. Have fun! I hope to see lots of interesting discussions happening very soon.. *grin* By the way, the next UKIP meeting is to be held on the 15th October in Nottingham.

It can be found in /info-mac/app/dsk-loader-11.hqx. you also can ftp it from oak.oakland.edu (/pub/hamradio/mac/digital), and from ftp.funet.fi (/pub/ham/dsp/320C26). Here is some information: DSK_Loader 1.1 DSK_Loader is the Macintosh equivalent of the DOS program DSKL. With this program you can communicate with the DSK (DSP Starter Kit) from Texas Instruments. This program bootloads a simple communications kernel and then loads other software using this kernel. Other options are: * Fill DSK memory with a certain value. * Dump DSK memory into a textwindow, for further processing. * Execute programs on the DSK. * Graph output from the DSK. * Act as a dumb terminal to the DSK. changes since version 1.0 - fixed crash when scrolling in 32 bit memory mode. - fixed hangup of PowerBooks when downloading to the DSK. - enhanced graph window with offscreen update, grid, and background which can be selected by the user by setting misc options. - some cosmetic enhancements, better errormessages etc. - added a few more .dsk files. The DSK and thus DSK_Loader is most interesting for people who want to experiment with Digital Signal Processing at low costs. For HAM-Radio operators it is a very interesting piece of equipment, Some applications, like the KC7WW port of the W9GR filters are included.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu The pc modems that are "SoftModem Technology" are now reasonably priced IMHO, and should be reprogrammable for the modulation standards of the radio and TDD worlds. This would allow "off the shelf" hardware, but we need custom software. These modems download the DSP program from the pc. The Digicom DSI Connection and the similar Cardinal MVP144DSP. use ram program storage, not flash-eprom. --- Speaking only for myself: Bill Mays \ / WMAYS@MOTOWN.GE.COM \/ (= <-I'm a mushroom... /\ Same place, same job, / \ my mark. third company. ------------------------------ Date: 6 Sep 1994 18:18:12 GMT From: netcomsv!ix.netcom.com!netnews@decwrl.dec.com Subject: Question: Variable Baud Rate Modems/Packet To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I don't know how to ask this question in general terms but I l'll do my best.... I am looking for information or a source to get specific information about changing a modem or Packet Terminals baud rate to an odd baud rate (such as 2500 baud, 1600 baud, 1250 baud etc.). The real question is: Does this require hardware modification, software modification or both? I am mostly interested in packet modifications but anything relating to modems will work. I can apply the theory (I hope) for modems to packet. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks, Mike ------------------------------ Date: 7 Sep 1994 02:16:24 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!news.uh.edu!BUDS1.baylor.edu!bilbo!rgm@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Ramsey Kits for 9600 Baud pakcet? To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Has anyone out there used the Ramsey FX line of VHF and UHF radio kits for 9600 baud paket? Ramsey advertises that these radios have a dedicated packet connector (5 pin DIN). Does this work at 9600 baud or are modifications necessary? In general, would this be a good radio for experimenting with packet? Are there any other kit manufacturers that offer similar radio kits? Thanks in advance, -Ross (still awaiting my call sign) BTW: Is there a list (available via FTP or otherwise) of public access NNTP servers? The server my college connects to by default doesn't work very well and also doesn't receive many of the newsgroups. ------------------------------ Date: 6 Sep 94 16:22:25 GMT From: news-mail-gateway@ucsd.edu Subject: Whats the theory on the DCD state machine? To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Can some one explain the theory behind the DCD state machine circuit! What is significant in the HDLC data stream that this thing keys in on? How does the circuit typically interface to a TNC. I've never seen the schematic or state diagrams, so perhaps what I am asking is obvious given those. Looking at the schematic of the PK88, it looks as if it would replace the modem chip's (AM7910) carrier detect output. Or would the circuit just gate the RX Data to the SDLC hardware? Questions, questions, questions! I don't presently have one, but I would like to understand the theory, and then add one to my PK88! Thanks!
