What your friend was refering to was that wonderful AEA device called a PK-64 whch was a TNC with RTTY and other goodies, that plugged into the catridge port and booted up with the C-64. I bought one for a $100 8 years ago, and got many hours of enjoyment from it. -pat -- *-----------------------------------------------------------* * Pat Masterson D12-25 | KE2LJ@KC2FD * * Grumman Data Systems | 516-346-6316. * * Bethpage, NY 11746 | bat@gdstech.grumman.com * ------------------------------ Date: 22 Sep 1994 02:56:15 -0400 From: news.pipeline.com!not-for-mail@uunet.uu.net Subject: Gateway....

How to Use the WB7TPY Packet <-> Internet Gateway First, some brief operational notes: (1) Messages must not contain any foul language, or commercial purpose. (2) Messages can only be sent to countries that the United States has a third-party agreement. All others will be destroyed. (3) Messages from the internet should be less then 5K in length. No files should be sent. (4) If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me either on packet radio: WB7TPY@WB7TPY.AZ.USA.NA -or- Internet : david@stat.com (5) Have fun. Use the gateway as much as you like. That is what it is there for. ------ From Internet to Packet ------ Send mail to the internet address of: gate@wb7tpy.ampr.org The first line of text must contain a full packet address, preceded with the word "Packet:" For example, mail to my packet address, would have the first line of text; Packet: wb7tpy@wb7tpy.az.usa.na ** NOTE: this line MUST be left justified. ------ From Packet to Internet ------ Send as private mail (never a bulletin) to the packet address of: gate@wb7tpy.az.usa.na The first line of text must contain a full domained internet address, proceeded with the word "Internet:" For example, mail to my internet address, would have the first line of text; Internet: david@stat.com --- Editor, HICNet Medical Newsletter Internet: david@stat.com FAX: +1 (602) 451-1165 Bitnet : ATW1H@ASUACAD ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Sep 1994 02:09:50 GMT From: tulane!darwin.sura.net!fconvx.ncifcrf.gov!mack@ames.arpa Subject: Packet Programs for Tandy Model 100 To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu In article <35gcjb$qp6@newsbf01.news.aol.com> robertk464@aol.com (RobertK464) writes: >I recently purchased a Model 100 to use in portable packet operation. >Coupled with the Kantronics KPC-3 and an HT, it makes a small portable >packet setup.

Is this correct logic? I don't see why not. The signature text, while it is an encoding, should be readily "decodable" by anyone with your public key, which theoretically the person you are communicating with, as well as anyone else who wants it, has. Unless you were to deny someone access to your public key, anyone who wants to can decode it using readily available software. --- ======================================================================= Kenneth E.

I like the phone suggestion - unfortunately I'm : a lowly coded tech and can't participate. Because what is a good DX spot for one geographical location is not for another one. A DX station heard in New York may not be heard at all in Michigan. DX Packetclusters may be linked to each other, but many restrict the spots to a certain number of clusters away. A cluster might be neat to have on the Internet, but you'd have to either have everyones spots and a way to filter out only a geographical area that represents your RF coverage at the time or have every several clusters all over the place to be on the Internet and you connect to the one most local to you. A big reason to link DX clusters via the Internet is not to send DX spots to each other but it would be to send email to each other or just chat with another user on a distant packetcluster. Many have linked lots and lots of packetclusters together, but usually the users will complain about all the useless spots that they can't hear that are out of their RF coverage.
