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...,..

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....
