Protocols for packet radio are done in software and not on the tnc, correct?
(I plan on using a messagepad of mine, with just a telnet client (which can do
tcp/ip and serial, but do not know of any packet radio software for newtons).)

Also, how do various TNCs differ? Do they all do more or less the same
thing? Any recommendations for a tnc to be used for handheld packet
(something small and low power using)?

thanks again,
