The Conference command allows you to see what stations are currently connected
in conference mode. You can also enter the conference or start one if none is
currently active. When stations are connected in conference mode anything typed
by one station is seen by all stations. All of the software to do this is con-
tained in this system. Any TNC can be used by stations connected in conference
mode with any computer or terminal. In some respects the overhead is rather
high in terms of channel utilization since a packet typed by one station is
sent to all of the stations in conference mode individually and acknowledged
by each station individually. Another mode of conferencing will be made avail-
able in the future to stations with KISS mode compatible TNCs and IBM PCs (and
possibly also C-64s). The easiest way to see what conference mode does now is
to enter it using the C command. Even if you are the only station in the
conference you will get an idea of what you would see if there were others. To
terminate conference mode, simply disconnect from the system.
     Several commands are possible when in Conference mode. All begin with
control/Z (^Z). Some have parameters. Here is the list:
     ^ZA             To add a DX station heard to the spotting list (Add)
     ^ZB             To disconnect from the system (Bye)
     ^ZD             To display the DX spotting list (Display)
     ^ZP chan #      To ask a station on BBS to join the conference (Page)
     ^ZR             To go back to BBS (Return)
     ^ZU             To list the current stations on the BBS or Conference
                     Mode (Users)
The list users command gives output like this:     WA8BXN (B/4)
which means that WA8BXN is using the BBS and is on channel number 4. The
4 would be used with the Page command that asks WA8BXN to join the conference.
The DX spotting list commands (^ZA and ^ZD) allow adding to or displaying
the 5 line buffer that may be used to report DX stations heard. The date,
time and call of station using the ^ZA command is automically added to the
remaining characters on the ^ZA command line. Thus you might type 
^ZA XY0ABC on 14.112 listening up 20
for example. The ^ZA command both adds what you type at the bottom of the 
list and will also broadcast it to all stations in conference. Note that
most of what you get in response to these commands is NOT seen by other
stations.
