Hello Michael,
TSTHWIN is a very capable Windows version of the equally capable DOS based
TSTHOST.
It's been some time since I last used TSTHWIN but relying on memory, you
need third-party programs to interface to any useful hardware. I don't
consider TNC's with TF EPROMs useful hardware, but that's just my opinion.
Some people don't consider KISS TNC's useful hardware but that's their
opnion, hi.
The person who should jump in here is Vince VK2CVR who actively uses
TSTHWIN, and now has it running under Wine in Linux.
All the foregoing aside, TSTHWIN now has one serious problem. In order to
be able to use the full mail features of the program requires
registration, but the author appears to have fallen off the face of the
earth and remains uncontactable.
Until (if) Mario resurfaces and you can register TSTHWIN, I'd leave it
alone.
Cheers ... Ray
