 FH> Okay, King Kong's Third Foot -- I love those mnemonics!  What is a 
 FH> tweedledump?  I haven't heard of that before, it sounds real descriptive.

Fred, it is a device that is connected in between the modem and the
computer, and it tweedles as data is passed, when it stops you know
the file transfer is completed.

fred you should point out that the tweedle dump only works with externam
modems and it has a bad habbit of screwing up certain functions of
telecommunications programs that look at pin 20 and pin 8 I think but 20
for sure. the tweedledump is only wired for the first 8 pins of an rs232
port and the others are left blank. that causes magaproblems.

fred I regularly use braille'n speak with a camtronics all-mode tnc.  
I've just used it on packet.   I've permanently configured things at 
1200 n81.  Right now, I have 2-meters and I have yet to configure the 
other modes.   There is a local rtty net on the 145.11 repeater and I'll 
need to go through my disk manuals for configuration parameters for that 
mode.     To use the braille'n speak with a TNC or any other modem so 
far as braille'n speak is concerned, just connect a null modem adapter 
either the one they have, or a tweedeledump  so you can hear data 
between the two devices.    If the TNC starts in the autobaud mode, just 
hit dots 16 the star key to shut that mode off.  By the way, the at sign 
is dot 4 in computer braille.  Speaking of pnemonic phonetics, mine are
