Another thing which confused me incredibly - when using WNOS (and probably
therefore most other systems inc. KA9Q), in multiple sessions it's essential
to specify the number of the session, i.e...
record 1 foobar.txt

Same with upload. I took ages trying to work this one out %-\

Can anyone out there help me with Fax/WEFAX with a MFJ-1278 and a macintosh.
I like the TNC for packet .... but can't find any software to copy faxes.  
MFJ has been promising a macintosh version of Multicom (MFJ-1287B) for months 
(since  before I bought the TNC) and the latest answer is always "we expect 
to ship in 4-6 weeks".... If I can't find a solution to this 
problem I guess I will have to sell the MFJ and get a KAM.... thanks Art Jeyes

In this month's QST, AEA has a full page ad for their new PK-900.
It claims to do it all, including sharp greyscale FAX, memory ARQ,
true DCD state machine, true dual port, and optional 9600 baud modem.
This all in addition to the normal AMTOR, RTTY, Packet, and CW that
the PK-232 has. The ad says it uses 3 microprocessors, and the picture
shows a snazzy LCD front panel.

i recently bought an mfr1270b for packet.  when i got it out of the box and
turned it on i found it was generating a very strong signal at 144.979 Mhz.
in fact it is strong enough that my son could send me signals with about 50 
feet seperating the 1270b and my ht.  is this normal or do i need to send it
back :(

as a side note has anyone connected a dj580 and an mfj1270 together.
specifically what value of resistor do i need to activate the ptt line.

Just to clear this up.  The Ramsey kit is designed for connection to a PC
*serial* port using the Baycom software.  I had problems with the PTT signal
in that configuration and used the *alternate* *parallel* port wiring for
use with Kevin's and Andy's PMP software.

Just about any version of NOS will allow you to record session output
with the record command.   After you start the session, hit F10 and
type "record savefile" where savefile is the name of the file.  To turn
it off, use record off, and to check use just record.  Caveat:  You can
only tell it to record after you start the session, so you tend to miss
the beginning resolve :)

Tracing can be done to a file instead of the console by specifing the
file after the trace parameters.

Anyway, I want to switch to KA9Q's NOS, but I can't seem to find a reliable

it...PKZIP can't unzip it, it says that there are too many errors.
Am I doing something wrong, or what? Is there a kind soul that could help me?
I don't mind getting the source code, in fact that would be a bonus, but I

Check out "ftp.ucsd.edu" and it's mirrors (such as cs.uwp.edu).
The directory hamradio/packet/tcpip/amiga has Amiga NOS in it.

	There is a missing file that provides the runtime environment and

I'm helping some friends who are moving to Western Samoa get connected for

radio.

Does anyone know whether packet radio is used among the islands in the
South Pacific?

I got a list of "ampr.org" nodes from netfind@archie.au and compared the
names to a list of DX callsign prefixes, but the only South Pacific ones I
could find were VK's (Australia)-- probably too far from Western Samoa to
make effective contact directly.  But if there are nodes on the islands in
between, perhaps it might work.

Can anyone give a clue about how to find out where there are packet nodes
in the islands?

My money is on the PK232.  I've owned both, and the PK232 is far superior
on CW reception (not what you may use it for, but you never know).  Also,
AEA has a history of continually updating the firmware for the unit since
it came out.  Not the MFJ doesn't, but I've been less than impressed with
my dealing with the MFJ customer service department.  Also note that
Kantronics makes an all-mode (KAM) which you should also consider.  It's
smaller in size than the PK232.  I don't have experience with the KAM but
I am very impressed with my KPC4 dual port modem.  Good luck and happy
hunting, hope this helps.
