<DIV>John,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A friend of mine who had a tnc in kiss mode and I had a tnc in kiss mode
and using drats we could only tranfer a file about 1k in size but never did find
out why, maybe a tnc buffer size?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a drats on our local mountain and it works great for sending
drats email to someone on the air. Its not a repeater like packet but it does
the job plus one can upload a file that could serve as a message. We
use .txt files and give it a name so someone could upload a file
called w3fdk.txt if someone wants to
send me a file then I can connect to w3fdk-9, my call for the mountain top
drats, and down load any file. No privacy there as anyone can download a file
but the principle works. Files can also be deleted from
any station that has their call in the proper place in drats. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This doesn’t answer your question but maybe it gives you an
idea of how to further use drats. I keep it going at the mountain
top just for training for those that want to experiment with drats and in
an ecom situation it sure can be used. I can connect it to the internet if I
wish from my home computer via the internet and have that function
but I leave it as a stand alone unit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just some ideas you may want to play with. </DIV>

takes a TNC or sound card interface to the 6-pin mini-DIN on the 880 operating
in FM mode to use that functionality. It does take a KISS TNC like a
KPC-3+. Also keep in mind that to bridge D-RATS and packet you would configure a
PC with a Ratflector with a connection to a D-STAR radio and a separate FM radio
with a KISS TNC.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
