Can anyone tell me how to activate the Windows terminal program? If
not, can you recommend some other terminal program that will work with

Get a copy of Putty.

Bill-

Putty.exe works like a charm. Thanks again for the suggestion.

I have been hearing a packet beacon on 446 MHz for several days. With
the TNC working, I was able to see whose beacon it was. I suspect they
are trying to talk to the 441 MHz backbone, but set the +5 MHz offset on
their radio by mistake!
