Alan,

Of course that goes away if you purchase the license.  I enjoy the ability to 
go from soundcard modes to the TNC within the same program.

Logger32 freeware has a terminal window that that works great but with fewer 
soundcard modes. Certainly worth checking out for all it's great features.

  Hi Bill,
  I used MixW briefly for a while but I didn't really know much about it. 
  The reason I quit using it was because of the "not registered" time 
  delay whenever I switched modes.

Re: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet

[Jose A. Amador]

Even when I have been away from packet for some time after being a sysop
for some twelve years, I have the feeling, but still not the certainty
that having MultiPSK to serve as a transparent dumb modem also would be
a good thing.

Creating a good packet terminal is not trivial, I used FBB for years
since version 5.13 and I don't see the need to duplicate the job that
Jean Paul Roubelat did. Maybe it still would accept improvements, but I
don't see much room for that. It is a job well done and hard to improve
when all bases seem well covered.

I used pure packet for some six years using BPQ or the Linux AX.25
engine, until I began using a PTC-II and after seeing what it does I
just quit HF packet, Pactor II being better by far, just by having a
more reliable transfer mechanism than classic packet. I was using FBB,
as JNOS 1.11 did not handle the PTC back then.

MultiPSK has a suite of modes that could still be useful and unique on
HF, and particularly, I like PAX for that, and maybe ALE 400 as
modulation / ARQ scheme could be useful too. Maybe others with a full
alphabet (required for compressed forwarding) could be useful. I really 
have not though much about the tiny details.

I am not sure about the situation beyond my area, but I certainly do
miss HF BBS's, as I had a fruitful and nice experience after all those
years.

Maybe I need some people to excuse me, but I never liked AGW, perhaps I
never did understand it well. I never used extra features of MixW, more
interested in its sound card modes, but they never meant an obstacle either.

I did use TeraTerm 2.3 and did like it too.

I don't know if others could agree with me, I am aware it is not too
easy to do, but maybe Patrick could do some research into making it
available as a dumb terminal using TCP/IP, KISS or host mode. Just
daydreaming by now, but, who knows? I am already used to get nice 
surprises from MultiPSK.

Jose, CO2JA

Hello,

Multipsk can also be used for a sound-card terminal for Packet (with many 
other possibilities).
But you can also use AGW Packet engine (and of course Mixw).

Re: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet

Mixw is a bit of a overkill with all it's garbage for a terminal program
to operate a PK232MBX TNC.

I still have been using YAPP even if it's just a DOS program some 
25 years old now.

I use MixW.  Takes a bit to set up, but you can get it to work just the way you 
want with macros.

  Can someone on the list recommend a good terminal program that I can use 
  with my AEA PK-232MBX TNC? Currently I am using HyperTerminal version 
  5.1. I don't like the annoying window box at the bottom of the screen. 
  All I need is a basic dumb terminal. I have tried several terminal 
  programs written specifically for packet but I am not impressed. I 
  really don't want a fancy interface. All I need is the basics. Thanks in

Matt,
Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for!
I can now get rid of my HyperTerminal shortcut.
Tera Term works great with Win XP.

RE: [digitalradio] dumb terminal software for packet

Hello Alan,

I use Tera Term Pro 2.3 with my KPC-3. Very straight forward, none of the
silliness that Hyperterm makes you go through. Do a google search on Tera
term and the first couple of hits will get you to the site to download.

Hope this helps!
