The problem is one of content.  Amateurs are not permitted to broadcast
messages of a commercial nature.  Even under the relaxation of the rules
which ocurred earlier this year, it would be a real nightmare to try to keep
out some of the commercial garbage (did you see the ad from the attorneys
trolling for business?), and the newsgroups and ircs which deal with sexually
explicit material.

In short, the technology's available, but the content problem hasn't been
solved. (without a great deal of monitoring)

AMD do an equivalent to the Z8530, and if you get an AMD 85C30 it will
put right various problems with the original. At work I have
successfully bolted such a device to an 80C188EC processor to give two
lots of 64K full-duplex with full DMA. The AMD data sheet (or it might
have been an apps note) shows exactly how to do it.....

You might want to look at Motorolas new 68360. I think it has a HDLC
interface as an option at least. It's a pretty nifty chip, it has a 68K CPU,
4 serial channels, timers, two parallel ports, dynamic ram support, and an
onchip RISC CPU to handle all the I/O stuff. I'm not sure about the price,
it's probably something like $150. Call Motorola and ask.

Hi Bob,
The KPC-9612 would be my choice if I were buying today. The ability to
operate 1200 and 9600 baud simultaneously is a big plus. May not be
important to you, but it's really like having two independent modems in one
box.

For 9600 baud, they all require precise deviation adjustment. You're
also not likely to run 9600 baud with your HT (not a trivial mod). I see
another radio in your future :-)

Hint: when you post looking for equipment, state where you are.

This newsgroup goes out world wide.  If you're in Denmark, someone
with a spare Model 15 (like me) in Southern California wouldn't do
you much good.

But, on the odd chance that you are local, and are interested in some
living history boat anchors, I have a Model 14 pair and a model 15
available.  The actual tone generator and receiver (called a TU, for
Terminal Unit) can be acquired thru the QST / 73 / etc want ads.

To: [e-mail]

 Hello to everyone,

 I actually using a BAYCOM modem with tfpcx 2.10 and TPK v1.81.
 Work fine but I plan to purchase a small TNC (bacause I wan to be able
 to use it on mobile) like kamtronic KPC-3 1200/300 bds TNC.

 Does some one have experience about making packet radio with TPK v1.81
 and the KPC-3 TNC ?

 Told me about your experiences or about what you've listen about that.

 I prefer you send me reply by e-mail to [e-mail]
 because I not able to read news the next week (from Sept 12 to Setp 17)
 because NNTP server down.

 Thanks per advance.

Seems like to be useful, users would need to have live connections to the
Internet which aren't all that common. Another way might be via IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) which allow users to connect to an IRC server when interested,
and look for a channel called DX or some such. Using IRC would mean that
anyone with a cheap interactive account could use it, it could be used both
for talking and listening and there would be no need to write any significant
software (someone could get started with any simple terminal program).

Whaddya think?

I think this is an excellent idea ... this would allow something to be
immediately in operation with a resource that already exists

Well, actually, on further thought, it isn't so excellent. :) How do you keep
non-hams out of it? Anybody checking in and posting will end up making a
transmission, which I don't think is legal.  :(
