Subject: Kiss question
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
If I have the TNC in KISS mode how much processing does the TNC do and what does
the KISS packet look like coming from the TNC?
Does the TNC do all of the 0 bit removal and flag byte removal on
the HDLC packet? I believe it is possible but is it legal to send
raw SLIP or possibly raw IP datagrams
over the radio? If you can transmit raw IP
datagrams over the radio then wouldn't the circuit (radio)
almost look like a slow ethernet?
I appreciate any help in answering these questions and hope they are not too obvious
that everyone in the world knows but me.

Can anybody tell me who is maintaining the MAC IP software now?
Also where might I find them?
Thanks,

If you have the source code for TheNet (obviously Net/Rom is a
highly guarded secret) please let me know how I can obtain a
copy of it. Respond via e-mail if you wish to remain anonomous.

As I have a dialup line to Internet , I ask you to take into
consideration again this new request of subscrive to your mailing list .
So send me mail to my pop server on osi.iunet.it.
Thank you.

To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
It looks like my first posting of this patch didn't make it to this
group so I'll post it again, my apologies if you receive this twice
from the tcp-group.
Before I found this patch I was quite frustrated because I didn't get
the IP part of the node working properly.

In addition, here are two more patches. One is to cure the ARP
digipeat garbage bug, the other is to lower the minimum transport
retries to 1.
1. The Arp garbage bug.
Took ages to find this - in the event it was trivially silly.
The problem is that when an arp request is sent tothe node it
replies with a garbage filled digi list. The patch cures this.
In the file THENET2.X1H, patch the byte at offset 0x77cf from 0x2a to
0x21.
2. The transport retries.
In some networks, transport retries are not wanted, but the node does
not allow the retry counter to be set below 2. This patch allows it
to be set to 1.
In the file THENET2.X1H, patch the byte at offset 0x7933 from 0x02 to
0x01.
An easy way to patch the files is to use debug - but remember to add
0x100 to the addresses. Hence to perform the arp patch, type :
debug thenet2.x1h
e 78cf
21
w
q
Line 1 invokes debug on the file
Line 2 edits the byte at offset 77cf ( it is at address 78cf )
Line 3 changes it to 0x21 - note that it should read 0x2a !
Line 4 writes out the changed file
Line 5 exits from debug.
These patches only apply to thenet-x1h. If you are using x-1g you need
to upgrade first. In addition, if you are using x-1g you will also
find that ip frames sent out as UI frames will have garbage digi
lists. This was fixed in X-1H together with a couple of other bugs.
