Greetings,

A group of local packet users are going to set up a TheNET node.  The plan
is to use the TN210 software release.  Another ham told me yesterday that 
there was a newer release of TheNET that also provided some incremental TCP/IP
support.  He thought it was referred to as version X1G by G8KBB.

Does anyone know anything about this?  If it is real, what does it by me and
where can I get it (preferably via Internet FTP)?

Thanks in advance, any pointers are greatly appreciated....

Mea Culpa.  It should be "Packet STATUS Register".  This is the kind
of errors I make after fooling around with shift registers.

BTW, TAPR's phone number is (602) 749 9479.  Great organization.

In Packet-Radio Digest V92 #278, Bob Segrist, KD4PWU asked about the 
status of the TAPR Deviation Meter.

This project is still in work, but has been out-prioritied by some 
upgrades to the TAPR 9600 bps modem and Metcon-1.  There have also been a 
few problems with the pll/synthesizer, so the completion has not been as 
uneventful as we would have wished.  

At this time, I unfortunately cannot project a date that the kit would be 
available.  Soon, I hope.  The price projection is unchanged, but when 
the design is complete, we will be able to definitize things.  When we 
get there, we will let everyone know (PSR, CompuServe, Internet, ham 
magazines, etc.)

I wish there was more to report, but hang in there.

You (or the other poster) edited out the part of my posting where I 
chastised Kantronics for not putting something in the manual about the
lack of a timeout timer.  Since nearly all other TNC's have such a timer,
I assumed the KPC-2 did too.

responded, and those that requested this information.

----------------------------- begin enclosure ------------------------------

From chiner@nova.gmi.edu Sat Oct  3 23:32 EDT 1992

I have one of these units, as do several friends of mine.  I have been very
impressed with it, and have had no problems at all.  Some features that I like:
Small size: 0.8" x 5.2" x 5.2"
low current... runs forever off a 9 volt battery.. >20 hours.
   can even turn off the leds via a software command to save more...
   draws about 10ma set up for max saving.
room inside for a 9 volt battery...
runs off any power supply between 6 volts DC to 25...  
supports open squelch operation... (DCD)..
does 8bit WEFAX.
does KISS, for TCP/IP support,
has the Kantronics host mode... works with any software for the KAM...
allows complete control remotely... (if desired)

From jcv26@cas.org Mon Oct  5 13:48 EDT 1992

There was a generally favorable review in this month's 73.
No comparison to the PK-88, however.

From steve@nemesis.ksu.ksu.edu Tue Oct  6 22:31 EDT 1992

My friend, Eric (EES@KSUVM.KSU.EDU) has one.  I have played with it
briefly.  

It has 32K static ram.
Watchdog timer.
6809 Type processor (not TNC-2 compat)
Small footprint
Low power operation (Can even turn all LCD's off)

Kantronics 5.0 Version eeprom:
------------------------------
Mailbox - Reverse Forwarding 
          RLI type command structure
          Remote sysop control
          Blinks STA light when mail has arrived
2 command sets - one beginner commands / one advanced commands
Software DCD (I like it, but other neters say it is worthless)
KA-Node
Host Mode 
KISS Mode
All other features available on KPC-2.

Brit,  I also tried to use the Baycom software with a TCM3105 modem on
my Goldstar 386sx machine, and couldn't get it to work... I don't think
that it was talking to the serial hardware on my clone correctly. 
There is a disclaimer file with the Baycom software which explains in
weakly translated english that there are a number of serial port hardware
configurations that will not work with Baycom.  the Baycom sources are
also not available, so I gave up on Baycom.  My Ramsey packet modem kit
(am I going to say something good about Ramsey? :-) came with an alternate
wiring scheme for the Poor Man's Packet software which uses the parallel
port instead.  This is what I am using.  The PMP wiring basically skips
the CMOS RS232 level converter chip (74HC04?) and runs the parallel port
TTL level lines almost directly into the TCM3105 chip.  I can send you
the schematic if you want it, or you can look up the original PMP
articles.

Look in the latest issue of the "Packet Shift Register" (the official organ 
of TAPR) for details.  It has blow-by-blow details for the installation 
of the modem into PK88, PK232MBX, DRSI board and others.

The PK88 installation is quite elegant.  It uses the unused pins in the 
rs232 connector for interfacing with the tapr board which has to be in a
separate box.

>Does anyone have information on the rumored port of NOS to the Kantronics

I am the author of the port of NOS to the DE, called JNOS40. It is
a stand-alone version of NOS, targeted at switches. A lot of the features
that are found in the pc version of nos i produce (called jnos) are in it...

>Data Engine?  When might it be available? 
The code is currently in beta testing. Current beta is 0.97, dated 8/30/92
0.98 will be going to the betatesters next week,
and i suspect the public release not too long after that, if things
turn out well.

>Will it support a WA4DSY modem
>on one of its ports & a 38.4k baud SLIP connection on its other port?
I am not sure what kind of interface the WA4DSY 56k modem has, but if
it is a type A,B or C modem (in Kantronics terms), it will work.
I recall vaguely that the DSY stuff does it's own clocking, so that should
work fine (with some interfacing offcourse)
I've tested stuff up to 19200 halfduplex using the DE9k6/19k2 with D4-10's,
and fullduplex loopback up to 56k.

Serial port is a bit different story; due to a hardware design of the DE9k6,
there is a performance hit that causes characters to be misses at speeds
> 9600.  This might not be the case using other modems...

>What about a console interface?  Price?
Currently, it is meant to be standalone. Ie, no 'terminal' connections (yet)
There is a console mode, that allows you to execute any of the available
command, and see trace output from the 2 internal ports, but NO outgoing
connections are supported.
This is however planned for future releases...

Once everything is ready for the public release, the binaries will be
placed in the public domain, so it's free !
I am working on quite extensive documentation on configuring things etc,
and that will all go with the released stuff.

Hope this informs a bit; keep an eye on this group for release info...

I'm the one who posted about trouble with a Baycom modem.
I hooked it up to another PC and it seems to be working, or
at least mostly, don't know why it didn't work before though.

Now it transmits, I monitored the audio with an HT, but I don't
know if it's receiving.  Is there a way of seeing everything
that the radio receives, instad of what is addressed to or from
me only?  I'm using Baycom 1.4.

Thanks again,

A friend of mine loaned me a few back copies of QEX this past week and I came
across something that I would like to find out more about.  In the January 1992
edition there was an article titled "TAPR Deviation Meter Planned".  In the 
article Lyle Johnson, WA7GXD, described TAPR plans to build a microprocessor
based deviation meter with a built in 2 meter receiver for around a $100 in
kit form.

I would really like to find out what the status is on this project.  For 
example, how is the prototype work going, when will the kit be available and
how much has the kit cost projection grown.  I pulled his address out of the
Internet callserver and tried to call hime this evening with no luck as his
phone number is unlisted.

If anyone knows anything about this project, I would like to hear an update...
