Hi Damian, Don't buy that expensive TNC just for Pactor. I
ordered the MFJ model 1276 TNC which has both pactor and 1200 baud packet.
I assume that both are on a e-prom which MFJ said is version 3.0 and the
latest one. I plan to use it with minicom until I understand it better.
Will report how well it works soon.
