-
- I know people have talked about this before, but i was wondering is
- there anyway i can run my baycom modem with windows3.1 ?????
-
- I have tried so many different combinations of software, that it is
- driving me mad!!! I have looked into BPQ, with the BPQax25 driver,
- TPK, with the tpkax25 driver, and the usual tfpcx and tfpcr but
- had no luck.
-
- I am sure some one out there must of got it to work, or if not, some
- programmer that has got lots of time free and wants to write a driver.
-
- I look forward to hearing from you,

- I have an MFJ-1270B TNC, and I'm interested in upgrading the firmware. MFJ
- sells an upgrade for about $24.95, but I'm wondering if anyone out there
- knows of some other firmware that would be compatible with this TAPR clone?

- Thanks in advance,

- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- KISS will not work properly with the Tiny 2 unit if you are using
- an older PROM. The latest release version, around April 1993 is
- just fine. There is no other way out if you have the older code.
- Call PacComm and order the latest PROM. Be sure to specify whether
- you have a standard Tiny 2 or a Mark II. Dave KN2M.

- Subject: packet software question from new packet user
- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- Hope this is the correct newsgroup for a packet question. I've got
- an old MFJ 1278 TNC. This has one of their early firmware releases
- and suspect I'll have to stick with that. I installed a firmware
- upgrade and was unable to get it to talk to my terminal -- never
- would lock at correct baud rate. So I'm back to original firmware.
-
- So I've had this TNC sitting around for about 3 years. I finally
- hooked it up to an HT this weekend and I'm on the air with packet!
- I'm using this with a Toshiba T1000SE which is a 640 K machine and
- small CPU, probably an 8086. I'm using procomm to talk to TNC.
- First question is about software? What is a good program to let me
- control the MFJ 1278 and do something like split screen when talking
- to someone?
-
- I do have a 486 PC in the shack, so is there more sophisticated software
- that I can run to do things like control multiple streams? I was
- connected to a BBS last night and saw a couple connect requests from
- other users but could not figure out how to talk to them. This morning
- someone on local UHF box told me that it was hard to switch streams
- without software package. He uses "pkgold" I believe, but told me
- that only runs with PK232. So software suggestions would be
- appreciated.
-
- Thanks & 73, Dale.

- Are you perchance refering to Digipeater use. This is a system whereby you can
- use another packet system as a repeater. It is quite handy to extend the range
- to which you can communicate. My system (baycom) works as an excellent digi-
- peater. Basically I place a call to my final QSO by using any reasonable number
- of friends packet units. They recieve my call and pass it on to another
- repeater who passes it on..... well you know, till it gets to the final
- repeater.

- development corporation, was instrumental in the development of the packet
- TNC and continues work on digital communications advancements and education.
-

- Special Interest Group will be held.
-
- The annual meeting formally begins Saturday with presentations and papers on
- several exciting new hardware and software projects as well as discussion on
- other projects of interest throughout the day. A mini-symposium concerning
- future directions in amateur packet radio will be held during the afternoon
- session. Issues concerning packet networking and BBS operation are also
- anticipated. Saturday evening, after the TAPR dinner, will feature an open
- forum during which attendees will be given an opportunity to influence the
- future direction and research with which TAPR is involved. After the TAPR
- forum, the first meeting of the TAPR BBS Special Interest Group will be
- held.
-
- On Sunday, a special NOS TCP/IP workshop will be led by Johan Reinalda,
- WG7J/PA3DIS, principal author and developer of JNOS. Johan will also be
