Subject: KISS ROM and Map file wanted
To: tcp-group mailling list <tcp-group@ucsd.edu>
I need to find a KISS ROM image with a corresponding MAP file ( or something
similar ) so that I can patch the ROM image with new TXdelay and TXtail values.
I'm assuming that the KISS code will still have the automatic reset problem.
Also... what's the difference between the KISSS V4 and KISS V7 code on UCSD?
I've found a KISS V4 ROM image but can't determine what values to patch before
I burn the EPROM. The KISS V7 code does not contain a ROM image. Any info or
pointers to some code would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Crynwr packet driver collection
Availability
The Crynwr packet driver collection is available on CD-ROM, by mail,
by FTP, by email, by UUCP and by modem. The drivers are distributed

documentation, pktd11a.zip, which contains the first half of the
remaining files, and pktd11b.zip, which contains the second half of
the remaining files.
Mail:
Columbia University distributes packet drivers on PC diskette by
postal mail. 5.25-inch 360K and 3.5" 720K diskettes are available;
please specify size. Two diskette sets are available, and two prices
are quoted for each; the first price is for the USA, Canada, and

or send e-mail to kermit@columbia.edu (Internet) or KERMIT@CUVMA
(BITNET/CREN/EARN).
FTP/email:
The packet driver collection has its own directory devoted to it in
the SimTel collection, msdos/pktdrvr. The drivers are there, along
with a number of programs that use the packet drivers.
For security reasons the SimTel Software Repository is located on a
host that is not accessible by Internet users, however its files are
available by anonymous ftp from the primary mirror site OAK.Oakland.Edu
(141.210.10.117) located in Rochester, Michigan, and from the secondary
mirror sites:
St. Louis, MO: wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4)

SimTel files may obtained by e-mail from various ftp-mail servers
or through the BITNET/EARN file servers. For details see file
/pub/msdos/filedocs/mailserv.inf. Gopher users can access the
collection through Gopher.Oakland.Edu. World Wide Web (WWW) and
Mosaic users can connect to the URL http://www.acs.oakland.edu to
access the files on OAK.Oakland.Edu.
Modem:
If you cannot access them via FTP or e-mail, most SimTel MSDOS
files, including the PC-Blue collection, are also available for
downloading from Detroit Download Central (313) 885-3956. DDC
has multiple lines which support 300/1200/2400/9600/14400 bps
(103/212/V22bis/HST/V32bis/V42bis/MNP). This is a subscription system
with an average hourly cost of 17 cents. It is also accessable on
Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink outdial. New files
uploaded to SimTel are usually available on DDC within 24 hours.

Is there any way to assign a TCP WIN and TCP MSS setting per port? 9600b ports
can use larger Window's and Packets than 1200b ports. I'm sure that it's been
asked before but now that I've got a 9600b port going, I need to know what to
do to get the most out of the system. Thanks.

No, there are two new types of TNCs developed by german hams. I don't have
data sheets at hand, but here is a rough description:
TNC3s
- uses Motorola 68302
- modular modems, 1200 AFSK, 9600 G3RUH and a high-speed serial link to
interconnect several TNC3s's available
- up to three of these modems/if modules can be used in one TNC
TNC4
- NEC V20 (or was it V30?) processor
- 4 ports/TNC
- SCSI to interconnect several of these TNCs
Both terminal and network node software are available for both, I can try
to dig out details and supplier info on request.
