Jerry, most of the digital modes do not need a TNC/modem in the traditional hardware sense. They use software and your computer's soundcard. A hardware TNC is still used to some degree for PACTOR, RTTY, and Packet but even for those modes there are software options. For your modern transceiver, all you will need is the ability to connect and interface your radio to your computer. Most people either buy or build their own "interface" , they vary in price and bells and whistles from the basic (but functional) http://www.g4zlp.co.uk/unified/YaesuCAT.shtml or http://home.att.net/~n8st/yaesu.html or the higher end http://www.microham.com/index1.html or http://www.tigertronics.com/ or http://www.usinterface.com/ or http://www.westmountainradio.com/RIGblaster.htm For software, the usual options are Winwarbler (PSK31 and RTTY), DM780 (lots of modes) , FL-DIGI (lots of modes, Windows or Linux) or Multipsk (lots of modes) all available free over the Internet and their authors frequent this list (plus have their own on-line support groups) Andy
