Default Advice on choosing TNC

A TNC can be operated from a dumb terminal through an RS232 port. You can use any terminal program with your computer--I've used
Windows HyperTerminal. You tend to need to keep the TNC command line book handy when using a terminal program. Software specific
to TNCs (e.g., HostMaster) make operating the TNC more user friendly.

Hi Glenn,

well thats the main reason why i was looking for a tnc - i could run it with any os, and a rs232 prt.

the tnc i managed to pickup (pk232) comes with manuals so it should make things easier for me!

thanks
