Hi . I have just buy the 1278b, and the included software is
rediculus. Multicom (Dos).
They have a old win version at their site but they *sell it* !!!!!
A product with no software for today PC's ?
Are these guys for real ?

Anyway does anyone know any today soft who work with this thing?
Why i feel like sucker ?

Most any communications rs232 type software will work with it. Windows
has
a terminal program that will let you run the TNC. You just won't have
all
the special hot key commands that are specific to packet. That thing has
to
be 10 or 15 years old by now. While I can't speak for the whole world, in
many areas the packet operation is much a thing of the past except for the
DX clusters.
