- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu

- For the pickers of nits out there, this was from a usershell at Netcom.
- Bottom line, the ftp server at <something>.std.com is indeed up and working.
- I guess if you've logged in with a "-"prefix to suppress the logon message
- you miss the details and only get the access denied comment. Also, it is
- entirely NORMAL to get access denied to anonymous users on most systems.
- After all the system IS there for the "real" users. Anonymous is a freebie
- for guests. Kind of like that "special" window at the bank for special
- customers. But sometimes (when there aren't any) they'll take the regulars.

- Greetings...you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge when it comes to using
- FTP procedures....haven't been at this long....using FTP I login to FUNE.FI,
- no problem there...once I find a .ZIP file I want I ask it to GET the file...
- again no problem, the program is sent to my local mainframe...I log off of the
- FTP address and go to the local mainframe and ask to send...I receive the file
- as a .ZIP but cannot UNZip it...I ALWAYS get "WARNING!" file fails CRC check or
- "has bad table"....on the local mainframe we have to use KERMIT to transfer
- files...or at least that is what I was told....like I said, I'm new at this so
- please exucuse my lack of knowledge associated with using FTP procedures...I
- thank you in advance for any information I might receive. Oh ya, for those
- "few" of you who just can't resist jumping down my throat because I don't have
- a clue what I'm talking about....go play somewhere else...what I need is a littl
- e help not to be set on fire! 73s...Roger

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- We are presently implementating an autotracking ground station for satellite
- work. We are using a German design tracking interface unit which we would like
- to implement with Instant Track. The drivers supplied with Instant track work
- with the Kansas City tracker board. I believe in a document called drv???.doc
- their is a complete description of the various registers etc. Does anyone have
- a copy of this document or any information that can be of use to us in
- writing TSR to interface with Instant track?
-
- Thanks in advance.

- best radio i have ever purchased! It goes with me from the house, to the car to

- I write it as PacTOR mainly because the documentation I've seen (I think
- it was the Kantronics documentation) wrote it that way. I'd assumed that
- this was the correct ``spelling''. I'd be interested in other opinions
- on this, too.
