I'm looking at buying a Ottawa PI2 card and I have a few questions swimming around in my head. Can I put a Kantronics DE-19K2/9K6 (19.2k/9600 baud modem) on the low-speed port and get it to work or does it have to go on the high speed port? or will that modem work on the card at all? If it will work on the card will the modem still do the 19.2k that kantronics says that it will do in the data engine with the D4-10 data radio that they sell? if this type of modem doesn't work at all with this PI2 Card then what type of modems are there that will work for this card. I'm looking to do 9600 baud right now and then move up to 56k! later on. are there any other types of modems (kits or pre-assemabled) that can go faster than 9600? I thank you for any information that will come my way, so I can get on the air with a fast packet.

The V7 code appears to be closely based on the V4 code, which I've assembled using Mark Zenier's freely-distributed 'frankasm' assembler. I did have to change some directives (a short sed script does this) and correct some case-mixing errors, as frankasm has case-sensitive labels. -adrian ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Nov 1994 03:53:07 -0500 (EST) From: JSMOLLER@delphi.com Subject: MFNOS 1.16 avaiability >From the MFNOS consortium: We are pleased to announce the release of MFNOS version 1.16. For those of you who are not familiar with the code, the program is originally derived from the circa 1992-93 WG7J JNOS 1.09. Per Barry Siegfried, K2MF, Chief Programmer and NOS System Analyst, the development of MFNOS began as a C programming tutorial. In a relatively short amount of time, the program has blossomed into an extremely stable, highly functional and full-featured entity. Throughout the past seventeen months, MFNOS has garnered a small, but steadily growing following in the northeastern portion of the USA. Those who are already using earlier versions of the program are well aware that this code will run a VERY long time before requiring attention. Version 1.16 of MFNOS includes much of the latest programming wizardry from KA9Q, WG7J, N5KNX, KO4KS, WA3DSP, and others, combined with many K2MF-specific refinements. Although MFNOS does not sport status line displays, nor does it contain many of the AX.25 BBS interface enhancements of JNOS, its core TCP/IP features have been finely honed, making it a 'Power-User NOS' that functions equally well on packet radio networks for end users and gateway/routers, as well as on wired TCP/IP LANs. Version 1.16 of MFNOS is the culmination of hundreds of hours of programming and testing in a variety of hardware and software config- urations ensuring that every feature works as intended with no surprises. For those who are interested, the program runs under PC/MS DOS (2.x to 6.x), OS/2 2.x, Windows 3.x, and Desqview 2.x. This is a a program that will work consistently for YOU. Those of you that write and compile your own C code will find the MFNOS source code a pleasure to peruse through. It has been hand-beautified, is consistent in all aspects, and compiles VERY fast. Barry, K2MF, is a very consciencious and meticulous codecrafter; being highly responsive to problems relating to the program. His knowledge of C programming and TCP/IP is superb, and is reflected in his work. If your interest is in code that is Borland C++ 3.1, Intel 80x86 specific, running under the above mentioned operating platforms, source code ONLY is available via anonymous ftp at the following Internet sites: ftp.njit.edu [128.235.1.10]:ftp /pub/hamradio/mfnos ftp.intac.com [198.6.114.17]:ftp /pub/hamradio/tcpip/mfnos Please join us in celebrating the arrival of this fine program product.
