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.....

The download is *very* large. For folks on a dial-up connection, it is
almost out the question. Is is available on a CD somewhere??
Thanks.

Yes, e-mail the Serenade team and request an "educational" pack. There
is info on their site somewhere about this option.

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.

Thanks for the pointer, Dave. I'm getting back into the *nix world
after being away from it for almost 10 years and I've forgotten more
than I remember, it seems.

I'll try to find F6FBB and see if I like it. I've become very
attached to the look and feel of PkGold over the last 10+ years that
I've used it, and of course in a pinch I can use a straight terminal
program....

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.

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