John, Not only is this not dead ... it is only the begining. If you have followed the discussions, you know that ARQ modes not only can, but have already been implemented on sound card modes in at least two cases. One for Linux and one for Windows.
Many of us have done all the hardware stuff years ago, but it doesn't interest us anymore. Hardware solutions have a dedicated microprocessor to keep the timing very tight. Non real time OS's need to have a wider gap in time. I agree that Amtor and Pactor are dead as far as sound card modes go. But we will eventually have some enterprising and brilliant programmer come along and create a practical ARQ mode for sound cards. 73, Rick, KV9U John Becker wrote: >I think this thread is about dead. > >WHAT WE KNOW AT THIS MOMENT: >A computer will not work for a fast ARQ mode because >every time it does anything else that timing link is >lost. > >FIX: >If you would like to play the AQR modes better get >yourself some hardware (TNC) ..... > > > > Need a Digital mode QSO?
