The Radio Amateur Telecommunications Society (RATS) is proud to present
a forum at the 1988 Dayton Hamvention called:
ROSE: Open Systems Networking in the RATS Open Systems Environment
The talk will focus on the reality of Open Systems
Networking in Amateur Radio. The Society has been involved
in the development of mail/file/directory servers and
networking software based on international communications
standards.
Radio Amateurs who are telecommunications professionals or
packet radio users will find this talk especially
interesting and enlightening, but the novice networker will
have no trouble following the presentation.
* Software Distribution
Currently, the beta version of the ROSE X.25 Packet Switch
and the release of the ROSErver/Packet Radio MailBox System
are available. The Society will distribute the latest
releases of its software at the session. Bring 5-1/4 or 3-
1/2 inch diskettes for software and documentation. Remember
RATS distributes its software for free! Come and get it!
* Where to Find RATS at Dayton
Members of RATS will be present in the PAC-COMM Packet Radio
Systems booth (Booth 277/278). Members will be able to
demonstrate and copy software for you to take home and use.
Handouts describing our activities and frequencies of
operation will be distributed at the packet forum on Friday
afternoon from 1-5. We also are planning to be available
for the Packet Get-Together at McNasty's on Saturday
evening.
