Hi Stephen,
I believe we had this conversation before on the rra-wg mailing list.
I referred you to "How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" on
news.announce.newusers, and examples of RFD and CFV announcements on
news.announce.newgroups. I encouraged you to come up with a draft RFD
yourself, which I offered to review (Although I don't support your
proposal, I generally support the RFD/CFV process in principle).
Anyone can initiate this process, so even though the members of rra-wg
(who initiated the last rec.radio.amateur.* newsgroup reorganization)
decided not to pursue a re-examination of rec.radio.amateur.digital at
this time, the matter is still very much open for a motivated (and
qualified) person to pursue.
Incidentally, the reasons that I and others decided not to call for a
revote in 6 months (Jan. 94) like we announced we would were as follows:
- rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc and Ham-Digital have almost seamlessly
taken over from rec.radio.amateur.packet and Packet-Radio without much
fuss and have easily encompassed all packet discussion (vanilla X.25,
TCP/IP, Clover, etc.).
- The tension we previously noticed on TCP-Group with novices and their
questions undermining it as an "expert" forum seem to have gone away (at
least for the 6 months that I've been following the list). Possibly
r.r.a.d.m has offloaded some of that demand, or perhaps the "threat" to
make a Usenet newsgroup for radio TCP/IP has encouraged the users of
that mailing list to manage it better.
- There was strong support for the rec.radio.amateur.digital hierarchy
at the last vote, but that was tempered with a desire to not create too
many newsgroups under it for now. Barring a clear mandate for another
newsgroup, we're going to hold off for the time being.
But again, it's possibly that our viewpoint is slightly off, and there
may be pent-up net demand for another newsgroup. I encourage those who
want their voices heard to pursue the RFD/CFV process. One way to
pursue this is to join the rra-wg mailing list (rec.radio.amateur
Working Group), which is a forum of FAQ maintainers, net experts, and
volunteers who would be happy to advise you. To subscribe, send E-mail
to rra-wg-request@amdahl.com.

hi matthew...
try setting maxcomport=x in your system.ini file, in the [386Enh] section
of the file, where x is one less than the number of comports that you have...
then put bpq on the last comport... for example, if you have 2 com ports,
set maxcomport=1, then use com 2 for bpq... the maxcomport entry tells
windoze how many comports to grab...
and i had the post inquiring about baycom 2.0... please email me if you
find a release i can grab via ftp...

Hi,
I am looking for a site on the Internet either
FTP or GOPHER where I can get the latest copies of
the F6FBB and WG7J NOS software?? I am going to be
starting a bbs and I want to use F6FBB and have a NOS
station also hooked into the network. I have a very old
version of nos (wg7j). I will be running the nos
station on an XT with 640k.. Can anyone help?
Either reply directly or via the list! thanks!

I currently have both the PK900 and the KAM with version 6.0 firmware. I find that both
units are very good. I prefer the PK900 over the KAM however due to its more advanced
host interface.
As far as the 9600 baud operation, I do not think that the KAM is capable of this operation.
I scanned the users guide for the KAM and did not see any mention of 9600 baud
packet or the standard modem disconnect header.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
Hi,
I'm considering to set up a link between the Sun workstation and a
Macintosh running MacTCP. Via ham radio, of course. I'm totally NEW to
the world of ham radio, but have some experience in networking. Any
suggestion (hardware, software, policy..) is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Subject: Monitoring with Modem?
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
We are trying to set up a local area packet network and are
monitoring several freqs looking for a clear one. There are
several candidate freqs that have 2400 baud activity on them, and I
need to find out if they're local or just due to band openings.
Trouble is, I don't have a 2400 baud packet modem.
I have a 2400 baud telephone modem in the packet computer. Is
it possible to set up the telephone modem to monitor the raw data?
All I'm hoping to find is some callsigns, and that might be
discernible in the data stream. Any thoughts or Hayes modem
commands for setup?
Thanks,
John WD4PKZ

Subject: MSK receiver?
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
Does anyone know where to find or how to build a radio receiver that
picks up MSK (minimium shift keying) modulated 100 bits/sec data
transmitted on aprox 300 kHz carrier signal?
This would be used to receive differential GPS-corrections from a
reference station.
Any pointers?

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
AX.25 is used and was developed specifically for the amateur community.
However, in our area there are several _business band_ users using a type of
packet that amateur TNCs can not decode. The signals sound VERY similar to
amateur packet (seems like 1200 baud FSK). Is/are there any commercial radio
standards equivilent to AX.25? Proprietary?
