actually, there is a modem in the 736. why can't that handle the packet checking tasks? it IS an FSK system but should be available, using HRD to run it, to handle any modem duties in the txcvr. Also, I THINK, that there is a high speed modem built into my mobo as well as 10/100 etherlink. I am just trying to figure out why I have to add another piece of hardware to the system. we KNOW that the latest, deep pocket ICOMs like the 756P3 are fully set up with an internal "TNC", or so I have been assured by some of those elmers/gurus (the ones who do not agree with each other <G>) The reason I am here is to try to find out what is true and what is bushwa and to simplify the shack to as great an extent as possible. My experience is that the more hardware you add, the greater the load on output of final product. that applies to anything with a pretty limited source of power, be it computing, motive or whatever. I truly do appreciate all the information I am getting here. Again, do I HAVE TO HAVE a TNC with an IC736, 746 or 756? thanks 73/chas -- K5DAM Houston EL29fu AAR6TU http://tinyurl.com/df55x (BPL Presentation) Need a Digital mode QSO?
