Thanks for the comments. Bob, I have had a Symek TNC3S sitting on the shelf looking at me for a few years. So I decided it was time to check it and see if it still worked. It was used for satellite telemetry downlink high speed.

Ross: JNOS is probably the most actively maintained version of NET which became NOS, back in about 1990/1991 time frame. Current versions of it can be run under either Windows or Linux. JNOS has KISS as one of its historic interface methods. As long as you have a more modern serial communications chip in the computer you're using (16550-compatible) you should be able to configure it to have adequate communications with the TNC at either 57.6kbps or 115.5kbps, if the TNC supports it. The SV2AGW family of programs may also support that fast serial data rate - I don't have an easy way to check where I'm entering this email. The AGW Packet Engine (AGWPE) definitly also understands how to do KISS. My home Airmail station is using a shim to talk to AGWPE, which is talking to an AEA PK-96 using KISS, which is then interfaced with the radio. Perhaps I've not been watching the list carefully - what over-the-air data rate are you using that makes performing serial communications at 57.6kbps an advantage? Unless you're sending quite large AX.25 packets (1k or 2k) on a radio link at 38.4kbps, there's probably not much performance advantage to going that fast. And if your on-air data rate IS that fast, congratulations! 73 Bob, KD7NM -----Original Message----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of martin beekhuis Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 11:38 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Re: High speed packet Hello Ross Here we have already for years running the packetnode using ax25 drivers in linux. http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl (sorry in dutch) Different speed up to 76800 however we use SCC IDE controlers I think via the serial port ttyS0 ax0 will do also. Before we switched from DOS-6.11 to linux we used NOS or NET No GUI all very basic but reliable from 1987 till now 73 matin pa3dsc > > I am looking for a packet program, which I can use to operate my Symek TNC3S at 57600 > but which has the kiss mode. > Any one any ideas. > > Packet was in favour a few years ago and all the programs I can find are very old, dont like the kiss mode, > or cant talk to the TNC3S at 57600. > > Regards to all > Ross > ZL1WN > . > ------------------------------------ Announce your digital presence via our Interactive Sked Page at http://www.obriensweb.com/sked Yahoo!
