Hello!!
I am looking for "Graphics Packet for Linux" application. I have link ftp://147.229.35.11/pub/hamradio/Xpr/ but unfortunately it is invalid. I will be greateful for information where can I find this application. Regards -- SP9RQA |
Okay, so I went to:
http://radio.linux.org.au/ and looked-up XPR: ftp://ftp.qsl.net/pub/ok2pid/xpr-0.42.tgz Do I win a cookie? |

Why do they all rely upon the kernels AX.25 ?
Kiss mode is limited to packet radio (at least with the TNC's that I've got) and why would I want to run packet radio on hf ? Pactor is better for hf and that means I can't use any of all those "terminals" that really rely upon the kernels ax.25 to do all the work. Why pay lots of money for a competent controller and then make it really stupid by using kiss ? 73 de Per / SM0RWO Uwe Krause wrote: Krzysztof Piecuch wrote : Hello!!

When you wander away from the mainstream, this is to be expected. Part of the problem is that most software for Linux is open source, written by junior programmer wannabees, then re-hacked by other "programmers" who are no better. .... So the third-weenie OS is loaded up with third-weenie software.... Is that a big surprise? If you really wanted performance, you'd be going with #1. Charles Brabham, N5PVL |

A little bit of code to sample the center of each pulse 7 times 1 msec apart to determin if mark or space increased copy significantly over the model 28. The coco was also a hell of a lot quieter than the 28 :-) // marc |

You don't quite "get" open-source, do you?! Heh... open-source does not automatically equate to good. Or it shouldn't, anyway. As in just about anything, 90 percent is crap. There's some good open source stuff out there, but I've not found much for amateur radio. That's true, however, there seemed to be an implied message that all open-source was junk, at least compared to the excellent-quality (s******) stuff from Redmond... On the plus side, what is avaiable makes minimalists such as myself happy. I'd rather have 10 programs that do one thing well rather than one program that does 10 things. I seem to be in the minority in this respect. // marc -- Chris Cox, N0UK/G4JEC NIC Handle: CC345 UnitedHealthGroup, Inc., MN10-W116, UNIX Services & Consulting 6300 Olson Memorial Highway, Golden Valley, MN 55427 email: (work) (home) |

It's a KDE (X-windows) client to drive a PTC in just the way that you want. You can find it at: http://kptc.sourceforge.net/ I found it by looking at: http://radio.linux.org.au/ regards Terry |
