CSS and Timewave announce PakRAtt/CE
PakRatt/CE is a terminal communications program for handheld computers with
Windows CE ver 2 and above operating systems. PakRatt/CE features a
menu-driven split screen, Connect and Disconnect buttons, and macros.
PakRatt/CE operates in the command mode and is compatible with any TNC or
multimode controller in any operating mode. The macros are all
user-programmable and are also preprogrammed with popular DX cluster and
packet commands.
The price is whatever you feel it is worth. If you think it is worth $1.00,
send us $1.00. If you think it's worth $50.00, send us $50.00. If you think
it's worth nothing, send us nothing. We can't think of a more equitable way
to price a product!
PakRatt/CE will be available by the end of October for download from the
Timewave and CSS web sites, and will be distributed on our new software CD-ROM
(More on that next week!).

"Substandard performance"? Is this a euphemism for 1200 bps?
Who let this guy loose?

I found the folks at HAL to be very easy to work with, and very open
with their specifications. The api protocol spec is excellent.
