Organization: University of California at Los Angeles, EE Dept.

I would like to organize a temporary wireless access site to the internet.
After examining some of the NOS software, it seems like it may be possible.
I am just asking for advice on how I might be able to accomplish this, and 
any info if anyone has accomplished something similar.

I have at my disposal, 2 pc's.  One has a physical ethernet connection to our
local net here at ucla.  It has a 3Com 3c501 ethernet card.  I need this to
be my gateway to the internet.  This local network is connected to the Internet
and thus I should not have a problem.  I have already gotten recent Cynwyr
drivers for this card.

The second pc will have a Spread Spectrum link to the first.  For testing 
purposes, I want to use a SLIP connection for now.  I must be able to 
initiate, from the second pc, a telnet session to a UNIX workstation, and 
remotely run files on the workstation.

If anyone has any experience which might help, could you please email me at

                     nazareth@janet.ucla.edu

I would also like any info about just connecting 1 pc using the 3com card
to the network using the nos software, and info on the limitations of this
setup.


Thanks,

Sean

Hello,
 I noticed some messages earlier about using SLIP interfaces 
on SUNs, well I would be interested if anyone could mail me 
a brief description of how to do it as I would like to be able 
to connect a sun network up to my P.C at home that currently

Summary: Only records what I type, not what is received.
Keywords: NOS AX25 BayCom recording KA9Q packet driver problems

I am using the June 3, 1992 version of net.exe (189,311 Bytes) with Pawel's
(jalocha@vxcern.cern.ch) "... packet driver for BAYCOM modem to be used with
NOS." (ax25drv.zip.23-nov-92 ftp'd from ucsd.edu) with the BayPac Model BP-1
(From Tigertronics, Inc.) (Thanks mom!)

It works great!  My deepest thanks to the authors/contributors!  I have been
working with computers and networks for a decade and a half but this is still
WAY COOL (and cheap)!  The only problem I have encountered so far is that
when I 'record' to a file, I only get what *I* type.  None of what is
received get's recorded, which is what I actually want to record (of course).

Is there a newer/better/preferred version to use in this case?
Am I the only one with this problem?
Did I mess something up?


BTW, The BP-1 shipped with a copy of the BayCom software.  Despite great
effort I could not get it (or the latest version available from SIMTEL20) to
work without hanging.  I did manage to connect one time and then it hung
immediately after the connect.  I tried everything: shortening the cables,
shielding the cables, remoting the antenna, operating on 1W, removing every
possible piece of resident software, ...  It would always hang in 'Sending'.
It even hung without the 'mic' connection in the radio.

The documentation says that if it hangs it is almost ALWAYS because of RF
getting into the device (or computer) or because of TSR's.  There was a side
note about problems with some systems running DOS 5 (guess what DOS I have ;-).

BUT!!! I was up and running in 1 hour with NOS and the AX25 packet driver!!!
(and the crowd goes wild!!!!).

There have been that many requests for PPP in AmigaNOS, that I decided

Jim,
I can't help you with the 2400 bps modem part of your problem, but I 
expect that if your 1274 was running 1.1.4, it only has 16k of RAM.  
1.1.5 and later require 32K, so you will have to upgrade.  I think the 
instructions are in the 1274 manual, and the chips and instructions are 
also available from both MFJ and TAPR.  The problem with the 2400 bps 
modem is entirely unrelated to the firmware, I am sure.

The UCSD.EDU ftp server has all the latest TCP/IP code. KA9Q JUST 
posted his latest version yesterday. s930104.zip is in the
/hamradio/packet/tcpip/ka9q directory. The other flavors of NOS are in

It's simply not configured into the binary that I loaded to ucsd.edu.
If you have Borland C++ 3.1, you can rebuild the package yourself with
whatever options you like. Just go into config.h and set the MAILBOX option.

The reason I didn't put it in is because it's quite large, the version I
have is out of date, and I don't use it anyway. I would like to take
code from whoever is currently working on the mailbox and integrate it
back in to my next release.

   I've checked a couple of mods databases and can't find what I want. 
I'd like to modify a TNC-2 clone ( MFJ-1270B ) for 10mhz clock speed. I 
know that you need to upgrade the 4.x crystal with a 9.x crystal and 
upgrade the Z-80 and SIO chip the the 10mhz version. What else do you 
need to do? You've got to do something to have the on board clock and 
TNC settings like TXdelay not also run at 2x speed. I think that the RAM
and ROM memory needs to be rated at a certain speed to work with the 
faster clock.
 
   Also, I'd like to be able to use 512K eproms instead of the standard
256K eproms and be able to switch back and forth between the upper and
lower 256K banks. I think that this is possible. I'd like to burn the 
lower 256K with a standard TNC-2 code and the upper with THE-NET or 
ROSE or some other networking protocol. I'd then use a switch to select
the code I wanted the TNC to run. I think that it can be done, but I'm
not positive.

   If you've seen these mods for a TNC-2, please let me know. Thanks.

You speak perhaps of the infamous SunOS ALM driver spl bug? Have you upgraded
since 3.5? I've run SLIP on Suns running 4.0 and 4.1 without any problems,
and under 3.5 with a 10 line patch to the kernel (no kernel source required).
(In fact, I'm typing this in over a 38 kbps SLIP link between my Unix

It doesn't really matter. In my case, the local end of the SLIP link (home)
takes an address from the remote LAN subnet.

No. Some extremely broken routing software may require this, but IP doesn't.
(Hint: if you're running a version of routed derived from 4.2BSD, replace
it with something newer, or run gated instead.)
