Hello Jose and all, The KISS interface is complete for Packet (connected and Unproto). In PAX and PAX2, the KISS link is only available in Unproto (for APRS, for example). It works well and permits to send APRS positions at very long distance using for example UI-VIEW, Multipsk being the modem linked to UI-VIEW through the KISS link (of course, Multipsk can be used alone without KISS link).

Maiko, good to see you here. MultiPSK already has a KISS interface. It has been used for APRS successfully so far. 73, Jose, CO2JA -- maiko4 escribió: > Good day to everyone, > > I am new to this group - could not help but notice JNOS mentioned. > > Jose stated earlier : > > >> I believe that the simplest is not reinventing the wheel, and >> using MultiPSK as a modem, using traditional BBS programs as >> the mail application. >> > > Believe it or not, using MultiPSK as a modem for JNOS has been on > my mind for quite some time now.
