- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- Hi,
-
- Our club's plannig the gateway that connects
- 50 km apart amateur radio tcp/ip communities.
-
- 2 gateways will be connected through the local
- universitys' leased line (TCP/IP spoken there).
-
- Like this:
-
- ~~ V V ~~~
- radio | | radio
- TCP/IP | | TCP/IP
- GW1 GW2
- | |
- Ether Ether
- | |
- + ====leased line==== +
-
- The GW1 is SPARC Classic and GW2 is Sun3/50.
-
- The first plan was simply use the IP forwarding.
- But my 'SENPAI ;)' told me better not use that
- beause of the licence problem.(Any one could
- go out the radio from university if the routing
- table changed)
-
- Now we are thinking of use "tunneling" between
- the gateways.
- So I want to know any free tunneling software
- implemented on SPARC&Sun3 is available.
-
- Well, I heard "IP over AX25 over IP" once.
- Do you think this works in this case ?
-
- Thanks in advance.

- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- Hello folks,
-
- I am trying to connect a BAYCOM modem to an Icom W2 transceiver, with very diss
- apointing results.
-
- Althought, I have repeatedly done a similar connection to an ICOM IC-24, the
- W2 seems to be a totally different kind of beast.
-
- If anyone has ever interfaced the W2 to the BAYCOM, I would appreciate, if you
- could drop me a posting at the address specified in the signature file. Sorry,
- my connection to Internet does not allow me any more, to read the list, so pers
- onal answers are in order.
-
- I would very much appreciate any hints you might have.

- Subject: MFJ and FBB, how????
- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- I have just ordered n MFJ 1276 TNC from the States. My intention is to run a
- BBS on VHF, with Pactor forwarding on HF. I will be using the (F6)FBB software
- to run the BBS (v 5.15).
-
- My question arises from the set-up instructions contained in the FBB manual.
- It states that "...for TNC-2 or close clones. The EPROM of the type 27256 must
- be replaced by a special EPROM with the WA8DED host mode software, or by the
- German TF4, TF8 or TF18" (Pg 37 of manual)
-
- Now the MFJ advert that I saw prior to ordering my 1276, says that the MFJ is
- a clone of the TNC-2 type, totally compatible with the TAPR system, and is used
- in the US for digi's and BBS's.
-
- Q1. Do I need to order the special EPROM mentioned, or does the MFJ come standard
- with the "right stuff".
-
- Q2. What software are the majority of BBS's in the USA running on, here in
- ZS land, FBB is the favourite. If not FBB in the States, is the favourite
- available via FTP anonymous site.
-
- Please e-mail to my Reply To, or [:-(] post replies here.
-
- Many thanks for taking the time to read and assist in this matter.
-

- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- I recently acquired a HP 6260B DC power supply.
- The thing provides 0-10vdc @ 100amps, but has been modified to provide
- 12.5vdc. It is currently configured to run off of 230vac input, but
- has a note on the chassis about connecting to different voltages, to
- consult the manual (which I don't have).
- Does anyone have a spare manual for one of these laying around?
- Otherwise, if someone could supply some info about this rascal,
- I would be much appreciative.

-
- Well... it was bound to happen... I lost a hard drive through my own
- stupidity... but that is another story! :)
-
- Of all of the hard disks to loose it had to be my Ham Radio 170 Meg drive!
- So... those of you that have come to look for my Ham Radio Software for
- the Mac list... it was trashed... but I resurected an old version...
- adding to it now... and ti will be out before then end of the month...
- sorry about that!
-
- Now.... does anyone have the parameters for setting up a Quadralink
- (non-DMA type) to work with NET/Mac? I lost my autoexec.net and have to
- rebuild it. I am using a Centris 650 and the card is in the center Nubus
- slot.... I am running a SLIP link to my PC through the printer-serial
- port... which I have working... just need to get the Quadralink board
- online.
-
- Thanks in advance.

- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- I was wondering if anyone has attempted, with any success, running Packet
- on an Apple Newton or other PDA. It seems to me that this would be a
- feasible endeavor... if no one has tried this yet, maybe I'll go out and
- get a Newton and give it a whirl!
- Seems like it would be a nice small portable packet alternative.

- Subject: Packet with Commodore 64 is NO problem!
- To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
-
- Perhaps Digicom>64 is the answer to this question. It was written by
- Florian DL8MBT and his team who later produced the well-known Baycom system.
- They kindly put Digicom>64 in the public domain.
-
- Instead of the AX25 protocol being handled in special hardware and software
- in a TNC, the hardware requirement is limited to a simple one-chip modem
- plugged into and powered by the C64 or C128 cassette port. This is connected
- to the radio by a cable such as those used between a TNC and radio.
- Digicom>64 performs the role of TNC and terminal all in one. Version 3.60
- which I have been using for a couple of years allows the '64 to be used
- as a four port node and if a disk-drive (eg 1541) is available, a personal
- BBS. It really is a great program.
-
- I built my modem to a design in 73 magazine and it cost the equivalent of
- perhaps 30 US dollars to build. It is only 3"x2" in size and was the first
- pcb I'd ever made so it can't have been that difficult.
-
- I am hoping to post Digicom>64 v3.60 and docs to
- comp.binaries.cbm in the next couple of weeks. Would any of the ham ftp
- administrators like to upload it?
-
- I am only a beginner with Digicom as there are many features I've never used
- . Are there any other Digicom users out there on Internet?
