I'm looking into running SLIP on my 1000 at home to a UNIX box at work, and was wondering which package is better: KA9Q or AmigaNOS. I've played a little with both, but never had much success (especially with NOS, I'm totally confused). Could I get some opinions on which to use for this sort of situation (ie, non AX.25)? Also, if someone has some words of wisdom on how to get NOS going on the Amiga via SLIP, I'd appreciate that too.

I am currently running the AMNOS19 version on both AX.25 and SLIP. It is very stable (unlike previous versions) and has never guru'ed my machine. The latest version is available for anonymous FTP from 'thumper.bellcore.com'. The two files you want are: AMKIT19.LZH A kit for creating the appropriate directory structure. AMNOS19.LZH The source and executables. While documentation is scarce, there is a 'userref.doc' available that does explain many of the commands. It is available from the same source. If you need any help setting it up feel free to EMAIL me. -- Ken Koster (N7IPB) President: Northwest Amateur Packet Radio Assocication 12653 NE 95th algedi!kenk@pilchuck.Data-IO.COM or Kirkland,Wa 98033 ...uunet!pilchuck!algedi!kenk
