Re: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet
Hello, Multipsk can also be used for a sound-card terminal for Packet (with many other possibilities). But you can also use AGW Packet engine (and of course Mixw). 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: John Becker, WØJAB [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2008 6:41 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet Mixw is a bit of a overkill with all it's garbage for a terminal program to operate a PK232MBX TNC.

Re: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet
Even when I have been away from packet for some time after being a sysop for some twelve years, I have the feeling, but still not the certainty that having MultiPSK to serve as a transparent dumb modem also would be a good thing. Creating a good packet terminal is not trivial, I used FBB for years since version 5.13 and I don't see the need to duplicate the job that Jean Paul Roubelat did. Maybe it still would accept improvements, but I don't see much room for that. It is a job well done and hard to improve when all bases seem well covered. I used pure packet for some six years using BPQ or the Linux AX.25 engine, until I began using a PTC-II and after seeing what it does I just quit HF packet, Pactor II being better by far, just by having a more reliable transfer mechanism than classic packet. I was using FBB, as JNOS 1.11 did not handle the PTC back then. MultiPSK has a suite of modes that could still be useful and unique on HF, and particularly, I like PAX for that, and maybe ALE 400 as modulation / ARQ scheme could be useful too. Maybe others with a full alphabet (required for compressed forwarding) could be useful. I really have not though much about the tiny details. I am not sure about the situation beyond my area, but I certainly do miss HF BBS's, as I had a fruitful and nice experience after all those years. Maybe I need some people to excuse me, but I never liked AGW, perhaps I never did understand it well. I never used extra features of MixW, more interested in its sound card modes, but they never meant an obstacle either. I did use TeraTerm 2.3 and did like it too. I don't know if others could agree with me, I am aware it is not too easy to do, but maybe Patrick could do some research into making it available as a dumb terminal using TCP/IP, KISS or host mode. Just daydreaming by now, but, who knows? I am already used to get nice surprises from MultiPSK. 73, Jose, CO2JA --- Patrick Lindecker wrote: Hello, Multipsk can also be used for a sound-card terminal for Packet (with many other possibilities).

Re: *****SPAM***** Re: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet
Alan, Of course that goes away if you purchase the license. I enjoy the ability to go from soundcard modes to the TNC within the same program. Logger32 freeware has a terminal window that that works great but with fewer soundcard modes. Certainly worth checking out for all it's great features.

RE: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet
Hello Alan, I use Tera Term Pro 2.3 with my KPC-3. Very straight forward, none of the silliness that Hyperterm makes you go through. Do a google search on Tera term and the first couple of hits will get you to the site to download. Hope this helps! 73 Matt KI6NCU Tuolumne, CA -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alan Jones Sent: Friday, July 04, 2008 9:09 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet Can someone on the list recommend a good terminal program that I can use with my AEA PK-232MBX TNC?
