I just realized that we didn't say anything about the Ottawa PI Cards to drive them with, contact Barry (bm@hydra.carleton.ca) for info on them. 73/bob ka4byp@netcom.com --------------- Heatherington WA4DSY 56KB RF Modem ---------------------------------------- GRAPES (a Non-Profit Volunteer Organization of Georgia Amateur Radio Operators) is selling full kits of the WA4DSY 56KB RF Modem for $250. The proceeds from the kits support our packet network building activities. You will need a transverter with a 28 MHz I.F. for the band of your choice, a case, connectors, power supply and frequency determining crystals. The printed circuit boards, documentation, State EPROM, support diskette and all other parts are supplied. The transverter chosen should switch as quickly as possible in the 5-15 msec range to be effective. We use the Microwave Modules MMt 432-28S units; however, these are getting difficult to find except as used ones at hamfests. The last few we purchased new were also pretty expensive ($389). We believe that their 220 MHz units were quite a bit cheaper, but we've never bought any new. On the hamfest market, we have been paying $125 to $185 for used, normally working units. Maple Leaf Communications (Bob Morton, VE3BFM) is shipping a 220 transverter which has good charactertistics and an even better price tag ($279). We have two of these units and they seem to work fine. Contact Bob at 705-435-0689 or RR #1, Everett, ONTARIO, Canada, L0M 1J0. The transverter must be linear as the modem has amplitude variations as part of the converyed modulation, which must be reproduced by the transverter. Usually any transverter capable of SSB operation is suitable if it switches quickly enough. We also sell a printed circuit board set that includes the State EPROM, documentation and support diskette for $110. Documentation sets are available separately for $20 and we have a VHS (beta by special request) Video tape featuring Dale Heatherington explaining the Beta modem design for $20. Doumentation sets are creditable towards the full parts kits or board sets and the board sets are also creditable towards the full parts kits. We pay U.S. shipping, however, we do require that the approximate difference between domestic ground delivery and premium shipping be sent in advance. Overseas second day air can cost up to $60 per kit! The kits weigh about 2.5 pounds each, and we can put 3 to 4 kits in a single box to save on shipping. Please send orders (a letter is fine) and your check payable in U.S funds to: GRAPES, Inc. PO Box 636 Griffin, GA 30224-0636 We're sorry but we cannot accept Purchase Orders nor Credit Cards. Please allow four to six weeks for delivery. THANKS!!

This fails for the reason above. has anybody managed to do this as I am interested in using ftp wihtout resorting to purchasing NFS or a similar product ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Jul 1994 10:36:13 -0700 From: brian@nothing.ucsd.edu (Brian Kantor) Subject: reading the instructions is a valuable skill To: tcp-group@nothing.ucsd.edu Jul 27 10:34:45 ucsd named[20039]: ve7ihl.ampr.org has CNAME and other data (illegal) Jul 27 10:34:45 ucsd last message repeated 2 times Jul 27 10:34:45 ucsd named[20039]: vk2jnt.ampr.org has CNAME and other data (illegal) Jul 27 10:34:45 ucsd named[20039]: vk2xzc.ampr.org has CNAME and other data (illegal) ------------------------------ End of TCP-Group Digest V94 #158 ******************************
