- 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!

- The pactor option will only work on a KAM, it will not allow pactor to

- 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...
