Maybe not on 1200 or 9600 bps packet, but it's gangbusters at 56 kbps!
Don't limit your sights to the Least Common Denominator. There's nothing
stopping us from implementing packet at Ethernet rates (or faster) on the
higher bands. 56 kbps is here now (on 220 Mhz and up) and Mosaic *is* usable at
that speed.

Of course it's usable at 56K. Our whole university uses it with only one
56K line feeding the entire Campus Network.
Now, when do you anticipate the majority of hams having that kind of capability??
Or even a measurable percentage of hams??
Not in my lifetime, I'll wager.

Gangbusters? Speaking from experience, I'd characterize it more as barely
useable... It doesn't win me too many friends on our shared 56K lan either.
Oh well, it gives us a goal to shoot for...

I have uploaded to the SimTel Software Repository (available by anonymous
ftp from the primary mirror site OAK.Oakland.Edu and its mirrors):
SimTel/msdos/packet/
aprs503a.zip Hams: Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)
APRS provides real-time display of operational traffic via UI frame
broadcasts and map displays. A station with information to contribute
transmits, and all stations on frequency receive and display it.
APRS503A adds some more map symbols, and contains a number of other
improvements and bug fixes.
aprs503a.zip is the latest version (as of 10 June 94) of APRS, and
contains all files. It has replaced aprs501a.zip.

Subject: Emerson 1415EM VGA monitor? its dead!
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
Hi All:
I have a dead Emerson 1415EM VGA monitor. I tried to get Emerson cutomer
service but got disconnected every time. I never talked to a real person.
If anyone has a service manual for this monitor I would very much like to
get a copy of it. Even a circuit schematic would help. The technician
who takes care of The Engineering Tech. departments equipment is trying to
fix it but it is difficult with no information. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi everyone
I have a bycom modem and I am interested in knowing if there is any other
software aside from the baycom software that is known to work with the
modem. I need this due to compatibility problems with a wang computer
emulating an ibm.

I just got a notice from Joe Kasser G3ZCZ that he has released version 2.30 of
his packet interface LAN-LINK.
It's available for download from his BBS I guess, but does anyone know if its
on an FTP site anywhere?

Jeremy, KB1AWE, a young and very enthusiastic ham from our local club will
be visiting a relative in Birkenau from mid July to mid August. Jeremy
is very active in digital modes and is thinking about taking some of his
equipment along. He would like to get in touch with any hams in DL-land
to see what the possibilities might be.
I'll be glad to play courier for messages to Jeremy, and/or to facilitate
initial direct contact. (Jeremy's only HF privileges currently are on 10M).
Thanks es 73

Drivers take up memory if you use DOS. Friends do not let friends use DOS. Some of
use use operating systems, instead of program loaders, like DOS.

Dan,
Actually a type II card would be plenty of space. A little RISC cpu, a serial chip and some EEPROM.
THere are intelligent Ethernet PCMCIA cards in type II form factors.
If I could find a PCMCIA card form, I'd design and build my own.
