It is my understanding that the Baycom software is heavily reliant on the PC hardware and does timing in a way that might be somewhat incompatible with Unix. Not to say that it couldn't be modified to work, but it would be a lot of work. Maybe it would be easier to write a duplicate program based on Unix. Just IMHO, of course. Jim.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu OK; we know that the HP-95LX can be put onto packet (thanks to Jay, I believe). What about the Newton PDA? It has a serial port (and an I/R port), but the keyboard, well, I did the usual test of writing my name on it, and it rendered it as "Daily Horrible", much to the XYL's amusement... Seriously, is there a use for the Newton on packet? One price I got here in Oz was AU$1495, so they aren't cheap... -- Dave Horsfall (VK2KFU) VK2KFU @ VK2RWI.NSW.AUS.OC PGP 2.3 dave@esi.COM.AU ...munnari!esi.COM.AU!dave available ------------------------------ Date: 21 Dec 93 21:05:16 GMT From: psinntp!wlnntp.psi.com!usenet@uunet.uu.net Subject: TAPR DCD time constants To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I've just installed an MFJ 2400 baud modem into my PK232 which has the TAPR DCD mod. After lots of headaches, it's basically working; i.e. the data, clock, PTT and DCD signals are (finally!) interfaced properly. BTW the headaches were due to incorrect/incomplete/contradictory documentation for the modem board. (I'm gonna give it one last shot to try to get a schematic from MFJ for the exact rev. board that I have...) The only problem remaining is that it sometimes misses packets which, I think, is due to the DCD time constants for 1200 being too slow for 2400. Can anyone suggest what needs to be changed on the DCD board and what it would need to be changed to? Am I correct to assume that nothing on the PK232 needs to be changed? All suggestions gratefully accepted! 73 and Happy Holidays - Seth ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 DEC 93 07:53:53 EST From: news.acns.nwu.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!noc.near.net!news.delphi.com!usenet@network.ucsd.edu Subject: tcp-group@ucsd.edu To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I probably got that name wrong but I'm close. I know they publish the tcp digest that I see on several of the tcp/ip systems. Is it possible to ftp to them to just get a few of the digests? I don't want to subscribe and get deluged with a ton of info I barely understand. Thanks...

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I am looking for my own perfect NOS. I am without a Turbo C compiler (I have only Microsoft C), hence am left to searching for compiled versions. Many versions have parts of what I want, but none have everything. I am looking for a nos with NNTP, SMTP, PopMail, Finger, Ftp, telnet, etc. A gopher client would be nice, too. And it must support SLIP. Any help that can be offered would be appreciated.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu I'm interested in digital ham and I need info on equipment, licensing, and software. I have DOS boxes but would much rather run under Unix. Maybe there is a FAQ? If so where?
