Gee I have been doing it all wrong then. My PACKET - AMTOR PACTOR station runs on a Dell 200mhz system running DOS 6.2 with YAPP (yet another packet program) that cane out in 1985 or 86. The SCS PTC-LLex pactor III TNC has not clue what OS I am running. John Becker wrote: At 02:03 PM

Claiming that you need to use MS-Windows for Pactor is absolutely false, and shows that you're just spewing your ignorance. I have no idea why - maybe you have some agenda, and maybe you're just like to talk about things regardless of your actual knowledge. But the record needs to be set

Because a critical variable of the test was altered, and only for a selected mode, the test is invalid. If you are to compare the modes validly they *must* be tested on essentially similar platforms. There was no good reason to distort the tests by inserting the specialized hardware, I believe
