If using NOS the persistance command is 'param 2 255'. This sets your TNC to the highest persistance (very unfriendly to other users). Consult your manual for a discussion of persistance and slottime. I've noticed with my 1270's and 1278's that the persistance and slottime settings seem to disappear over time. If I set my persistance to 255 (there's only 3 of us on the freq. and we're never on at the same time) things go out lickety-split. If I come back in a 1/2 hour and try again, things are dead slow. I've noticed on the MFJ's that the sta and con led's flash every so often like the tnc has been reset. Looks like the tnc is resetting itself and wiping out my parameters. All the MFJ's I've have do the same thing. Any ideas??

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Here's a question... Has anyone added a ax25 driver (or kiss) to the kernel of a Unix box? I've tried wampes (not bad) but I would rather have something 'native' ie there is already one OS on the box, I don't need two. I would like ability of users to telnet or connect right to the Unix box, and not have to go through the wampes software.

I stand corrected and Gary thanks for the more complete definitions. Do you know what SITOR uses? I used to work on that for Harris in another life - and wonder if their version or SITOR in general uses ASCII, and maybe the amateur version uses baudot because we didn't have ASCII back when it came out? 73 de Kevin, WB2EMS ------------------------------ End of Ham-Digital Digest V93 #101 ****************************** ******************************
