While we're on the subject...we are having a discussion in our area
(central Tennessee USA) about the merits of putting 9600 b/s user ports on
the 2-m band vs. the 3/4-m band. I'd like to hear from others who are
currently running 9600 b/s user access ports as to what band is used, why,
and what problems, if any, are encountered. [The basic arguments seem to
be: for -- reduces cost, people already have a radio; against -- difficult
or not possible to find a frequency.]
Our topography (hilly) also causes major problems with hidden transmitters.
I'd also like to know if anybody is running a full-duplex regenerating
digital repeater and how that is working out.

Jack,
Only things I remember offhand changing when adding a 9600 port were
slottime down from 100ms to 60ms & decreasing txdelay thru trial &
error to the minimum the other end could grap hold of. I don't have
the file here handy but will look when I get home this wknd.

Subject: More Wampes & Ethernet
To: jgrau@rigel.etse.urv.es
In your message of Tue, 18 Jan 1994 11:46:20 +0700, you write:
+---------------
| How to configure the WAMPES program to reconize the ethernet card?
|
| May be with the command "start tcpgate ..." as say Brandon S. Allbery.
| Yes i have de aix tcp/ip run.
|
| Or using AIX device drivers ... where can i get it?
|
| Or may WAMPES can not be a gateway to internet-packet radio (listening
| ethernet card & packet radio).
+---------------
You will need to either (a) use the tcpgate server to gateway between native
and WAMPES TCP/IP, or (b) get a special device driver for AIX which makes the
Ethernet card available to WAMPES directly. Note that if you do (b) you will
lose kernel networking. Since I don['t think the driver for (b) exists, you
would have to write it yourself...
Or, depending on whether AIX supports it, (c) set up a SLIP link over a pty
between WAMPES and AIX. I and several others are doing this with JNOS under
Linux, and I think a few people are doing the same with WAMPES. But some *ixes
don't like to run SLIP over a pty.

To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
I know, another FAQ, but I need to know where to get the packet
driver for the 3com 3C509 (Etherlink III) card.
The local sources here only include the 3com 3C501/503/579 cards.
Along with my hard drive crash, I lost the drivers I had, and
information on where to get everything.
(Note: I have a tape drive now. I learned my lesson.)

3.1 is the preferred way to do 386 code, 2.0 just had a 386/486 assembler. But
other than that 2.0 was the last DOS version. It's really a Windows C compiler
now, but I prefer 2.0 for DOS and I've been using Visual for Windows.

I'm from the old school I guess. I figure anything that large is
non-maintainable, and worthy of breaking it down into modules which compile
fast. That module is WAY too large now. I tried shutting all the mbox
stuff off except MAILBOX and even that wouldn't compile. Guess I'm too
used to Unix on a PDP-11 :-) (processes! not one big animal...)
