A friend of mine is looking to set up a remote digital link that can 
support at least 19.2K full duplex.  I figure that a pair of 56K GRAPES 
modems can work, especially if they can go full duplex.

However, the software used is designed for a direct link, or optionally a 
phone modem.  So, using standard COM ports are required, and they are 
already set up with NS16550AFN UARTs.  We have done some testing with 
standard TNC2s full duplex (wired and dual band rigs), so setting CONPERM 
and TRANS will give acceptable results.

Does operation with the GRAPES modems change the way that TNCs operate, 
other than the increased speed?  I assume that there is a way to increase 
the TNC to talk to the computer at 57600 or faster.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello again.

My tcp/ip saga continues.  I am waiting for modem info to arrive in  
the mail.  Meanwhile, I have gotten the dos KA9Q via anonymous ftp.  


This is truly a cool chunk of code.  I am planning on having lots of  
fun writing new modules for it.

THe problem is, I con't find any documentation for it.  The only docs  
I can find are dated 3 or more years ago.  Without this info, I am  
unable to set up the software.  Can anyone give me a clue on this?

Second, I need to find out what my interface limitations are.  I have  
an NE1000 ethernet card in the machine, as well as two (8250) serial  
ports.  There IS a driver linked into the NOS called 'Eagle', and the  
ne1000 IS an eagle card - one of several very different types  
though...   What is involved in getting/linking new drivers, and do I  
even NEED any new driver?

I want to set up one port to be a SLIP or PPP dial in port, and one  
to be a SLIP dial out port.  Eventually I want to add more SLIP dial  
in ports, and a port for my TNC.

What are the limitations on the number of serial ports KA9Q NOS can  
support??  Does it support shared interrupts, or if not, does it  
support non-standard interrupts (ie com4 on irq 5)??  


I would like to eventually support 2 packet modems, one dial out SLIP  
modem, and 4-6 dial in SLIP modems.

*Meanwhile* I would be more than happy if I could figure out how to  
get the ethernet card working, so that I can telnet into my unix box  
and experiment with the software.

If someone could point me toward the docs, or even send me copies of  
their configuration files, I would be greatly appreciative!  I could  
also use some tips re: ethernet drivers.

Thanks!

It shouldn't be hard in this day and age to find a motherboard that's
5 times as fast as my lowly 10 Mhz 286. :-)

Seriously, I do agree that the dedicated HDLC card is the way to go.
In fact, what I would really like to see is an HDLC chip that's as
smart as a modern Ethernet controller, with the ability to run
autonomously for as many packets as you have memory to give it for
buffering.

This is NOT to say that the board should do any higher level protocol
processing, only that it should make the interrupt latency
requirements on the host processor as loose as possible. One of the
biggest drawbacks of the "internal thread" model of multitasking that
I use in NOS is that the whole package comes to a standstill whenever
a task makes a slow BIOS call (like floppy I/O). It's nice to have
hardware interfaces that can ride through these "seizures" without
dropping packets.

Of course, one alternative is to make an entire machine the controller
and never use it for anything but driving the interfaces and routing
IP datagrams. That's what I do at home, and it works very well.

Although almost everyone agrees on using about 3 kHz deviation on FM
packet at 1200 bps, there seems to be some disagreement about the use of
pre/de-emphasis.  There must be someone who has gone through the
exercise of measuring error rates and/or noise floor and perhaps even
multipath tolerance for the four obvious permutations:
1. no emphasis
2. complementary pre/de-emphasis (6 dB/octave)
3. transmitter pre-emphasized, receiver flat
4. transmitter flat, receiver de-emphasized

How about it guys?

Hi!
I'm a student at Uppsala University trying to set up a local network
between our computer facilities & student apartments. I've seen some good
reviews about the GRAPES 56Kbps modem here in r.r.a.p, but I'd like to
get in touch with the designers or sombody who know the answer to the
following questions:

* What freqency range does GRAPES support (28 - 30 MHz?)
* How much bandwidth does it require?
* Do the designers recommend any particular transverter to the
  145MHz or 432MHz bands?
* How much does the GRAPES cost (as a kit or fully assembled?).
  I'd like to order at least 2 and am curious about the shipping cost
  (airmail to Sweden, Europe), and delivery time.
* Any comments on the Gracillis board? Price/Performance?

Replies by e-mail are most welcome, but not a necessity since I read this
on a weekly basis.

Thank you for your time reading this, and have a Happy New Year!

as a user terminal program for use with the F6FBB BBS.  Unfortunately, since
the program was written in France, almost all the documentaion and help files
are in french.  Does anyone know of a source for English documentation for this
program?

For those who haven't heard of it, TPK automatically collects message headers
and selected sorts of messages (eg. all @AMSAT, all SALE, etc) greatly reducing
the time a user is connected to the BBS. All message transfers are done in
compressed form, further reducing connect time.
(If we could read the docs, it would be even more useful!)

Do you known these standards ?

I vote for Ethernet.  SLIP lines are more troublesome.  Unix boxes have
a habit of crashing when using SLIP.  We found this to be the case with
Sun workstations.  Your milage may vary.  It may depend on precisely
what MUX board you use.

TCP/IP requires seperate NETWORKS for the SLIP and Ethernet.  This may
be accomplished by subnetting.  Subnetting amounts to carving up your
Class Bnto multiple networks.

I have successfully put an IBM PC clone on the Internet using KA9Q.  
We were using subnetting already on our net (139.121.x.y).  I have not
had the opportunity to try SLIP or AX.25 with KA9Q yet.

Buddy Brannan, a blind amateur radio operator, was riding an Austin,
Texas, city bus about 1 PM on Wednesday, Dec. 30, talking on his
handy-talkie. A guy on the bus asked him about the radio and Buddy gave
him a demo. The guy liked it so much he asked to look at the radio and
ripped it off. Jumped off the bus and left Buddy on the bus.

Here is a description of the thief, as given by the bus driver: Black
man, 28 to 35 years old, dark complexion, medium height (5'6" or 5'7"),
medium build, short haircut (no afro or anything like that).

The radio is a Yaesu FT-470 dual-bander, serial number 450452, with its
stock battery pack (probably dead by now). No leather carry case. For
identification purposes, memory channel 19 is programmed for 410.00 and
channel 20 for 470.00 MHz.

If you should encounter this radio, please contact Buddy at (512)

What's the speed (1200, I presume?).

Hello,

I just purchased a Kantronics kpc3 tnc and am having trouble getting it
fired up.  I issue a connect request, and the XMIT light illuminates
periodically, then eventually times out.  The xmit light on my yaesu handheld
never lights;  the book suggests that the tnc/HT cable might be bad.

Here's the sticky part:  this cable came unassembled, and I had to connect a
DB-9 connector, 0.1uF cap and 2.2K res on one end, and the 2 mini-plugs for
the HT on the other end.  I've retraced my connections, and I just can't find
a mistake, but I'm always quickest to blame my own handiwork.  :)

Could the wiring picture be slightly wrong, e.g. the picture's bigger plug is
actually the little plug, etc.  ??   Any suggestions are welcomed.

experience from working at a small college station?  What are
selling points that a station  or broadcasting company look
for for someone who has hardly entered the field yet?  Would
an internship be more likely a position for this type of person,
or would a college degree, wih t college station experience
be enough for a paying job?  This may be for the boston area
and any insights or pointers in the right direction are welsome.
