Phil,

Don't know if it will help, but how about this:
http://www.dosemu.org/
I have no idea if it will help or not; I'm thinking of putting Linux in one
of the boxes. A Google search of 'DOS emulators for Linux' yielded a ton of
hits, but you've likely already researched them.

I hear you. I have several older (DOS) comm programs which puke on
faster machines - good ol' PCPLUS for one. That's why my 24/7 packet
circuit (for the local ARES/RACES group) runs on a separate (166
P1) machine - it slows down my Athlon XP 2000 and my P2 machines.

I'm trying to find a DOS emulator for Linux to see if I can run two
circuits at once now...,..

Thanks for the pointer - now I know where to get dosemu which I was
advised to try.

A version of F6FBB is available which runs native on Linux, using the
Linux AX.25 networking support code. There ought to be no problem
running multiple TNCs (either real ones in KISS mode on serial ports,
or soundmodem versions), doing digipeating, etc. on Linux.

Do you have Linux? I find some of these that won't run on my Win98,
actually run quite well in WinE from *nix :-)

My understanding is that the Rf Designer program from ARRL has a
moderately complicated user interface and so it was not quite a popular as
originally hoped.

However, the Ansoft student version is just about as capable if not more
so and is a bit easier to learn.

http://www.ansoft.com/ansoftdesignersv/

=====================

A long time ago I ran across a free S parameter simulator, RFSIMM99,
which handles most of the things I need. It also has a monte carlo
tolerance analysis which is convenient when I want to see what component
tolerances are going to do to me.

The company that originally made this program seem to not be there any
more, or at least my link to their website does not work, but the program
can be found on quite a lot of websites.

My experience is different. Serenade is much more powerful, however,
I find the learning curve much steeper.

They all have the same roots however, and Serenade can use circuit
files (net lists) generated in ARD.

Thanks for the correction, Wes. I was going on second hand information.

I have to upgrade my computer and then I will be able to run Serenade.....
