All you need to run a PK-232 is a dumb terminal and run the PK-232 in
command mode. Learn a few commands and works fine. I ran one like that a
few years using DOS before I got a Windows program with additional features.
Windows used to include a good terminal program that worked well with the
PK-232, but don't think the newer versions have that anymore.
My favorite DOS program was BMK-MULTI for using with a TU on RTTY, AMTOR &
Pactor, which I still use with a AEA CP-100 - works better than any sound
card program I have ever tried. Doesn't run any of the new modes, of
course, but RTTY is my favorite anyway.

Hello,
Now that the major issues with WINMOR are largely settled, I am looking
to put my old PK-232 back on the air to get a little play time with PACTOR
1.
What is a good software package to run with it in the Windows
environment? I have a copy of Lan-Link 2.32 for DOS from 1994 but nothing
else.
What are the hardware upgrades that are available? Is the company still
in business?
