I use a Kantronics KPC-3 TNC with Hayes' Smartcom II for the Mac on a
Quadra 660AV.  I have also heard that the Savant comm software is nice.

Richard... as other have suggested... you can get on packet with a Mac with
just a plain old communications program. There are some specialized
communications programs of which Savant is one that work especially well with
the Mac on packet.

If you are savy enough to get on the "networking" version of packet... you
might want to try NET/Mac. There are a number of us that have converted soley
to that mode over the ax.25 PBBS side!

You can find a demo version of Savant on the net as well as full up working
NET/Mac and accompanying software tools to get on with it.

Kantronics has excellent packet software for the Macintosh (I wrote it).
It's called HostMaster for the Macintosh and should be available from
most ham radio outlets or directly from Kantronics.  You may also order
it directly from me for $69.95, including shipping.  Feel free to contact
me for further info.

Please note:  HostMaster for the Macintosh is for Kantronics tncs only
(KAM, KPC-3, DE, etc).   It does not work with AEA, MFJ, or other tncs
(sorry).

Subject: On-Air Encryption?..
To: [e-mail]

Greetings from Whitehorse!..

I've been working with the DOC on a project to use digital radio in disaster
situations to connect with the Internet via RF links to router stations with
satellite dishes scattered around the territory. We've demonstrated the
effectiveness of this system to "the powers that be", although they raised
the question of security of the data stream between the remote site (the
on-scene packet station), and the dish. This link would be made on
pre-determined "commercial" frequencies, so the question arose as to what
encryption schemes there were to bolster security of information passing
over the air... Does any such scheme currently exist, and if so, where would
one find it and how good is it?.. Any information would be of great
assistance...

Thanks in advance..

                    Cheers,
                    Rich W.

Subject: Packet with an Atari ?
To: [e-mail]

 Hello,

 as you may know (I repeat it every time :)) I am a new ham, and not
yet QRV on packet. Since I have only an Atari Falcon 030, I'd like to
know if it's possible to use packet with that computer. I plan to buy
a TNC-2 modem.

 Thanks and 73 from France !

 Vince.

i looked through my directories and dont find V2.6 anywhere .. maybe someone

     You probably need the TNC to keep up the DSR signal... Most things don't
care, but a lot of terminals actually follow some of those data signals that
are often ignored on PCs, etc... you'll prolly need to change DSR, maybe DTR,
CTS and RTS, and if your TNC is capable maybe turn on XON/XOFF.  I don't know
how... I'd love to get into packet but haven't found a TNC, this advice is all
from using modems and getting them to work, so don't ask for specific commands
or anything...  8-)
Good luck.

Or just set it up to type,"d arl50" and hv it return the text from the regular
database area of the usual BBS system. Extra work for the SYSOPS I'll agree...
