Hi Ron and all others
As many people seem to think the internet has taken over from pscket there is
a
lot of controversy regarding packet-internet gateways.I agree that packet has
almost withered away but died I do not think so.I look as packet as the
forerunner to todays internet and look forward to using a network like the
internet to forward packet messages etc.I agree this could be done via packet
but considering the time to transfer a 8k message via HF and the internet.
We,as hams, should use this internet to expand our network but still keep the
odd HF rig ready for transfers in emmergencies.Perhaps a time of looking
forward
needs to be undertaken so we can develop the next internet if there is going
to
be one.I believe we as hams could perhaps generate a faster more reliable
method
of data transfer over and above TCP/IP and AX25.
Stop your moaning as the gateway users are not going to shutdown because you
say
so.Accept what cannot be changed and develop something new.
Just for interest sake I am a restricted licence holder who has never operated
HF as I feel that in doing the morse I should at least be able to use it.Apart
from that VHF and UHF provides plenty of enjoyment for me and so does packet
to
such an extent that I will be establishing a internet-packet gateway in about
6
months.

Subject: DOS for Hamcomm? (newbie!)
If you use something like Freedos, you will need to disable your anti-virus
software, the anti-virus
software works by keeping any software from writing to the boot sector, and
Freedos needs to write it's
boot loader there in order to setup your computer to a dual boot system.
However I imagine this advice is quite out of date as I see other people have
posted about fixing
your problems with windows. Hopefully you should already be up and running
now.
If you haven't already, you might create a boot floppy that has your specific
needs on it and doesn't
call windows.

Perhaps "less powerful" means "less capable". Radios from different
countries may indeed have some bands blocked eg I don't think you can buy
a scanner in the US that doesn't have cellular frequencies blocked.
