Subject: ??USING MAC WITH KPC-3 AN
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
Go ahead and use the Mac with the Hostmaster,it works wonderfully.I've
been using that setup for the last 1 1/2 years and have no complaint.
A standard modem cable will work fine with the TNC and the Mac.I get
better results by setting my abaud to 9600...
Will be glad to be of more assistance.Matter fact,I run a BBS that has
a good collection of Ham related sharewae,might want to give it a call
and see if you could use something.
The phone number is 202-298-6009.
Take care...

Greetings! Has anyone out in netland used the baycomm modem with an amiga? If so did you use it with amicom software or
amiganos? Did you need to make any mods to the baycom? Any info is appreciated.

What do you mean by the word "obsolete" in relatikon to a 202 modem? It's
still the most popular modem when sending data over any type of radio link.
The reason being that the 202 is the ONLY modem which does NOT require a
full-duplex (ala phoneline) audio path to hear the modem at the far end
before it considers itself connected. The reason why 1200/2200 FSK still
remains popular with the amateur packet community is that it works and is
presently the ONLY commercial modem standard that does work!

I have downloaded a copy of net mac and am now configuring it for my
Mac...
I would like to learn the paths to get connected here in northern
california. The most reliable mountaintop for me is Sonoma Mt on 145.73. I
live in West Marin county.
Anty help (advice), especially about obtaining an IP address would be
appreciated.

They were selling like hotcakes at the Atlanta Hamfest, July 22nd. AEA
9612 is a better deal, though.

The pactor option will only work on a KAM, it will not allow pactor to
run on a non-pactor tnc.

Hello dear Ron,
I talked to Eberhard, DK8JV a few days ago.
JVFAX Version 7 will be released within the next two months.
At the present time only "Beta-Releases" of Version 7 were given
to a limited group of persons.
So please "qrx" and keep waiting

As I understand the Telebit PEP protocol (used in Telebit landline modems),
it divides the telephone bandwidth (3kHz) into 512 or so frequencies, then
sends bits down each frequency. I believe they do use phase modulation on
each frequency, since they are set up to send 0,2,4,6, or 8 bits per baud,
per frequency. Given the earlier comments about HF propagation, something
similar but without the phase stuff (i.e. 1 bit per baud) might be interesting,
then restrict the width to the number of distinct frequencies that can
fit in 500Hz.
Telebit uses a TI 320xx chip (I forget which one is in the latest modem) to
generate the waveform. It sounds downright ugly if you accidentally pick
up a phone and listen...
