Trying to keep it on topic for Linux I did some clicking around on the TAPR site and found things pretty dismal. Of course there is the ax.25 stuff in the kernel. I also saw an mheard for gnome. Searching the web however yielded lots of goodies. The top hit for [linux ham radio] was: http://radio.linux.org.au/ which showed a knoppix for hams link. As for hardware I saw this at www.timewave.com under the amateur radio link: PK-96/100 9600/1200bps TNC with GPS, 100K MailDrop, w/demo packet and GPS software $219.95 Not what I'd call inexpensive... On a hunch I googled [TNC sound card] and found this: http://www.patmedia.net/ralphmilnes/soundcardpacket/ Which looks like a M$ program. But, Hey if they can do it so can we. :-) Adding linux to the mix, [TNC sound card linux], I found this: http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/2218/print > Sounds good. Maybe an evening. Mon thru Wed is usually always good for me. > First and third thurs. I have meetings. Henry, what's good for you? I just finished up two projects and am free for the first time in a couple years. > > In regards to Henry's original question, the Tucson Amateur > > Packet Radio Group has been the place for cheap kits since > > way back when. > > http://www.tapr.org/kits_119.html > > Is a link for the TNC-2 kit. > The TNC2 hardware is not really available anymore except used.

This idea of using the sound hardware might have killed dedicated hardware solutions for TNCs. _______________________________________________ bclug.org mailing list bclug.org@lists.sitelink.com http://lists.sitelink.com/mailman/listinfo/bclug.org This message was sent to historian@netisland.net
