*** Subject: ++NEW IMPROVED++ WA8DED FIRMWARE FEATURES
Version 0.9 of the WA8DED firmware for the TAPR TNC-1 compatables is now
available. It is written in 6809 assembly language and is contained in two
2764 EPROMs. Some of its outstanding features are:
1. Up to four simultaneous connects (plus unproto).
2. Easy to read 'monitor' frame information in unproto mode.
3. Simple 'On Screen' Calibration.
4. Digipeats version 2 protocol.
5. Meaningful channel status display (separate status for each channel).
6. Supports modem baud rates up to 9600 baud.
7. New-Improved Host Mode (for computer interface).
8. Display of link state and number of free buffers.
9. XON-XOFF flow control
10.Auto-Unattended/Beacon Mode.
Version 1.0 should be available around the first of September and is contained
in two 2764 EPROMS. The W6IXU mailbox is currently using a beta version 0.9 of
the WA8DED firmware.
I have been using 0.7 for over a month now and prefer it to the original
firmware. Both WA6RWN and WB6AIE-1 digipeaters are currently using 0.5.
Try it. You'll LOVE it!!!
