I am the sysop of k5di@k5di.nm.usa.na and run the f6fbb version 5.15c software. In case of emergency I will go to the c:\fbb\system\fwd directory and delete the file "bulls" that will stop all bulletin forwarding but allow mail to flow as it normally does. When the emergency team decides to send flood bulletins about the problem I will do what is necessary to capture these files and leave them for all to read. It will take less than an evening for me to get onto an emergency footing. This is the case for my guess, 95% of the other bbs sysops world wide. karl ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Mar 94 13:29 CDT From: emillar@enlaces.ufro.cl (Eduardo Millar) Subject: Kantronics Data Engine <--> Kiss mode To: srbible@cs.nps.navy.mil, tcp-group@ucsd.edu I+ I would like to have this information?.. emillar eduardo millar c. emillar!@enlaces.ufro.cl temuco-Chile ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Mar 1994 10:40:10 -0700 (MST) From: Tim Baggett Subject: Kantronics Dataengine <--> KISS Mode To: Advanced Amateur Radio Networking Group Steve, I have a Data Engine working in KISS mode here. All I did was to place the (9600) modem I wanted to use in port 0. I really don't think I needed to do this because I believe the DE uses the port that was selected at time of the reset to use while in KISS mode (I'm using just plain vanilla KISS here so the second port is not being used). I then did the INT KISS and power cycled the DE. Kinda of a waste running a DE in KISS mode anyway. It's only temporary here, until I get the second 9600 radio/modem built up then JNOS40 is going to join the Data Engine up on a mountain.

I somehow discovered that flow control was necessary. These are lines from my autoexec file that work for me: attach asy 0x3f8 4 ax25 p1 4096 256 19200 f #comm1 as interface p1 #>> lots of lines<< param p1 dtr 1 param p1 rts 1 #>> again more lines << attach kiss p1 1 p2 #second kiss port as interface p2 That will run both ports in the DE in kiss mode. You off course must use the DE command PORTS 1 first to put it into 2 port mode. Then set INTERFACE to KISS then do a RESET before running your NOS. 73 and Good Luck!!

Do this if you have two ports. I have a DE running on an amiga with both ports working great in kiss mode.... aadamson@symantec.com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Kantronics Dataengine <--> KISS Mode Author: Tim Baggett at INTERNET Date: 3/10/94 1:58 PM Received: by ccmail from grumpy.symantec.com >From owner-tcp-group@UCSD.EDU X-Envelope-From: owner-tcp-group@UCSD.EDU Received: from ucsd.edu by grumpy.symantec.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA09782; Thu, 10 Mar 94 13:50:39 PST Received: from localhost by ucsd.edu; id JAA22378 sendmail 8.6.4/UCSD-2.2-sun Thu, 10 Mar 1994 09:45:00 -0800 for tcp-group-list Errors-To: tcp-group-relay@UCSD.EDU Sender: tcp-group-relay@UCSD.EDU Precedence: List Received: from NMSU.Edu by ucsd.edu; id JAA22365 sendmail 8.6.4/UCSD-2.2-sun via SMTP Thu, 10 Mar 1994 09:44:55 -0800 for Received: from gauss (gauss.NMSU.Edu) by NMSU.Edu (4.1/NMSU-1.18) id AA02457; Thu, 10 Mar 94 10:44:52 MST Received: by gauss (4.1/NMSU) id AA09853; Thu, 10 Mar 94 10:44:50 MST Date: Thu, 10 Mar 1994 10:40:10 -0700 (MST) From: Tim Baggett Subject: Re: Kantronics Dataengine <--> KISS Mode To: Advanced Amateur Radio Networking Group In-Reply-To: <199403101230.EAA19451@ucsd.edu> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Steve, I have a Data Engine working in KISS mode here.

Off the top of my head: Make sure you have set up the right ports with the right parameters. Have NOS running on one PC, a terminal program that you know works on the other. Do a ping from the PC running NOS to the other one. There should be garbage appearing on the terminal program. Reverse roles of the PCs, try again. If nothing appears one the 'monitor', try an AX connect from the NOS PC (your IP routing may be wrong, but this won't impact the AX.25).
