/*
* What this application is intended for:
* ======================================
* NET/Mac is an application, that has been created for ham-radio operators.
* It can be used to hook up a Macintosh to the amateur-radio 'packet-radio'
* wireless network. NET/Mac supports the TCP/IP protocolstack.
*
* If you want to get acquainted with TCP/IP over packetradio, then I suggest
* you read the book: NOSintro, TCP/IP over Packet Radio. It has been written
* for the PC world but PC's and Macintoshes mix well in this area. The author
* of the book is Ian Wade, G3NRW, ISBN: 0-897649-00-2.
*
* To use NET/Mac you need:
* a) a ham-radio license
* b) a transceiver connectdt * c) a TNC that supports the KISS protocol
* (A TNC is like a modem... A modem however drives a telephoneline, while
* a TNC drives a transmitter and receiver...)
* d) a Macintosh 512 or newer
* e) a complete working environment for NET/Mac, which consists of directories
* for mail, logfiles, an example of autoexec.net and some more configuration
* (example-)files.
* Also you need Ivo ON1XK's mailer (IM/Mac).
* Usually you can download both the environmentfile as well as IM/Mac from
* the same place you downloaded NET/Mac from. Look for the files that carry
* names like: 'IM_Mac_<verion-number>.sea.hqx' and 'radio-config.sea.hqx'
* (also seen around as: radio-environment.sea.hqx). Sometimes even the word
* 'radio-' isn't there.
*
* New versions ususally get downloaded to:
* - sumex-aim.stanford.edu (directory: info-mac/comm)
* - ftp.ucsd.edu (directory: pub/hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming)
*
* History
* =======
* The application NET/Mac, was ported (from Phil Karn's NET) to the Mac
* by Dewayne Hendricks, WA8DZP.
*
* This release is based on Dewayne's NET/Mac 2.0 and contains all mods of
* the newer NET/Mac 2.2. Both NET/Mac 2.0 and 2.2 were released by Dewayne
* Hendricks and Doug Thom. Since some time I have been making mods (bug-
* fixes and enhancements) to their NET/Mac, and have always sent them these
* mods. Now that they are working on a new application, that will support
* high speed networks and will also support AppleTalk over that network,
* they have given me permission to distribute their NET/Mac with my mods
* installed.
*
elovy to keep
* 'upgrading' this application as much as possible. Don't bother Dewayne
* or Doug in case you have problems or questions. Don't hesitate to call
* me if any help is needed. I will try to be as helpful as I can. If you
* wrrn vses o tnding out UpdateMaker documents that will allow you to
* update NET/Mac to a newer version as soon as one has become available.
*
* I'd like to thank Dewayne and Doug for the sources they gave me to work
* on and Joe AF2J for already sending me a number of mods.
*
* Adam van Gaalen, PA2AGA.
