You should be able to use any terminal program such as the one included with
Windows for example. Or go download WinPack. It is still free I believe and is an excellent program to use with TNCs. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE wrote in message ... Hi .

As a TNC2 clone, it has more software written for it ( free and otherwise ) than any other TNC design on the planet. There are literally dozens and dozens of programs that work with the MFJ1270b. Only a fool would be offended by the fact that some companies charge a reasonable fee for thier software. - Especially when there are dozens and dozens of free alternatives. Anyway does anyone know any today soft who work with this thing? Sure... Dozens and dozens of them. There is not room to list them all here. Also, any terminal program should work. You can even use an old "dumb terminal", if you can find one. Why i feel like sucker ? No need for that at all. You just didn't know how lucky you were in your purchase. The 1270b is a very useful piece of equipment. Charles Brabham, N5PVL Director: USPacket.Net http://www.uspacket.net |

Hi . I have just buy the 1278b, and the included software is rediculus. Multicom (Dos). Throw the software away. They have a old win version at their site but they *sell it* !!!!! Capitalist swine eh? A product with no software for today PC's ? Are these guys for real ? Get a clue, this modem was based on an old CP/M machine of the last century. What the hell do you want? I bet you paid $5 for it, and now you're complaining that you want it to work like a $25 WiFi card. Anyway does anyone know any today soft who work with this thing? Why i feel like sucker ? Get AGWPE for Win-Dos or a KISS ROM and hook it to Linux. Then you can relive the 1980's again. But somehow I think this modem is too complex for you. You seem to be non-technical?? |
