To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Hi, Our club's plannig the gateway that connects 50 km apart amateur radio tcp/ip communities. 2 gateways will be connected through the local universitys' leased line (TCP/IP spoken there). Like this: ~~ V V ~~~ radio | | radio TCP/IP | | TCP/IP GW1 GW2 | | Ether Ether | | + ====leased line==== + The GW1 is SPARC Classic and GW2 is Sun3/50. The first plan was simply use the IP forwarding. But my 'SENPAI ;)' told me better not use that beause of the licence problem.(Any one could go out the radio from university if the routing table changed) Now we are thinking of use "tunneling" between the gateways. So I want to know any free tunneling software implemented on SPARC&Sun3 is available. Well, I heard "IP over AX25 over IP" once. Do you think this works in this case ? Thanks in advance.

Althought, I have repeatedly done a similar connection to an ICOM IC-24, the W2 seems to be a totally different kind of beast. If anyone has ever interfaced the W2 to the BAYCOM, I would appreciate, if you could drop me a posting at the address specified in the signature file. Sorry, my connection to Internet does not allow me any more, to read the list, so pers onal answers are in order. I would very much appreciate any hints you might have.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I have just ordered n MFJ 1276 TNC from the States. My intention is to run a BBS on VHF, with Pactor forwarding on HF. I will be using the (F6)FBB software to run the BBS (v 5.15). My question arises from the set-up instructions contained in the FBB manual. It states that "...for TNC-2 or close clones. The EPROM of the type 27256 must be replaced by a special EPROM with the WA8DED host mode software, or by the German TF4, TF8 or TF18" (Pg 37 of manual) Now the MFJ advert that I saw prior to ordering my 1276, says that the MFJ is a clone of the TNC-2 type, totally compatible with the TAPR system, and is used in the US for digi's and BBS's. Q1. Do I need to order the special EPROM mentioned, or does the MFJ come standard with the "right stuff". Q2. What software are the majority of BBS's in the USA running on, here in ZS land, FBB is the favourite. If not FBB in the States, is the favourite available via FTP anonymous site. Please e-mail to my Reply To, or [:-(] post replies here. Many thanks for taking the time to read and assist in this matter.

The thing provides 0-10vdc @ 100amps, but has been modified to provide 12.5vdc. It is currently configured to run off of 230vac input, but has a note on the chassis about connecting to different voltages, to consult the manual (which I don't have). Does anyone have a spare manual for one of these laying around? Otherwise, if someone could supply some info about this rascal, I would be much appreciative. -- Dave Ewaldz INGERSOLL MILLING MACHINE CO.

I lost a hard drive through my own stupidity... but that is another story! :) Of all of the hard disks to loose it had to be my Ham Radio 170 Meg drive! So... those of you that have come to look for my Ham Radio Software for the Mac list... it was trashed... but I resurected an old version... adding to it now... and ti will be out before then end of the month... sorry about that! Now.... does anyone have the parameters for setting up a Quadralink (non-DMA type) to work with NET/Mac? I lost my autoexec.net and have to rebuild it. I am using a Centris 650 and the card is in the center Nubus slot.... I am running a SLIP link to my PC through the printer-serial port... which I have working... just need to get the Quadralink board online. Thanks in advance.

It seems to me that this would be a feasible endeavor... if no one has tried this yet, maybe I'll go out and get a Newton and give it a whirl! Seems like it would be a nice small portable packet alternative. 73's Ron N0RTX -- \//// (o O) -----oOO--(_)--OOo------------------------------------------------------ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/ __o _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ -\<, _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ (*)/(*) "The moving cursor writes, and having written, blinks on..." rohnb@netcom.com ------------------------------ Date: 26 Sep 1994 14:43:49 +0200 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!swrinde!howland.reston.ans.net!EU.net!sunic!news.funet.fi!nic.funet.fi!email.meto.govt.uk!MEADOW!RUDMANS@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Packet with Commodore 64 is NO problem! To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Perhaps Digicom>64 is the answer to this question. It was written by Florian DL8MBT and his team who later produced the well-known Baycom system. They kindly put Digicom>64 in the public domain. Instead of the AX25 protocol being handled in special hardware and software in a TNC, the hardware requirement is limited to a simple one-chip modem plugged into and powered by the C64 or C128 cassette port. This is connected to the radio by a cable such as those used between a TNC and radio. Digicom>64 performs the role of TNC and terminal all in one. Version 3.60 which I have been using for a couple of years allows the '64 to be used as a four port node and if a disk-drive (eg 1541) is available, a personal BBS. It really is a great program. I built my modem to a design in 73 magazine and it cost the equivalent of perhaps 30 US dollars to build. It is only 3"x2" in size and was the first pcb I'd ever made so it can't have been that difficult. I am hoping to post Digicom>64 v3.60 and docs to comp.binaries.cbm in the next couple of weeks. Would any of the ham ftp administrators like to upload it? I am only a beginner with Digicom as there are many features I've never used . Are there any other Digicom users out there on Internet?
