/APPLEIIE #3183 09-JAN-91 08:25 From: Kenf To: ** ALL **ey >> Re: HAM Radio and the Apple IIe I just received a ham rig that is small enough and good looking enough to put next to my Apple IIe. Knowing that other people use their computers to operate radioteletype and packet, I happly went out looking for a RTTY/Packet MODEM and Apple IIe software. While it appears that there are a number of MODEMS that will connect to the serial port on the Apple IIe, there doesn't seem to be any software to support it. I fear that a standard communications package wouldn't have the ability to control the special functions of radio communication. . I know that software is available for the Comodore 64, MS-DOS machines, and even the Mac, but does anyone have experience with HAM radio and the Apple IIe? . Ken Fonstad ---ch----- Can anyone help me out on this? Dan

In anycase... I've used Proterm for running a TNC (Terminal Node Controller) for packet before and it worked quite satisfacctorially... just set it up for a dumb-modem that does not use auto-dial and such... pete -- Pete Simpson |Amateur Radio: KB9DWN Video Production/Computer Science |Bitnet: TCOMGRD1 at OUACCVMB Ohio University, Athens, Ohio |Internet: psimpson@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu Denizens of Doom: 213 |American Motorcycle Association: ???

I've got some OLD issues of it (late '70s) that show how to connect an Apple ][ up for radio communications. I'll bet that if you begged and pleaded with the people at that magazine, they might be able to dig up some old copies for you. By the way, they also had a pac-man program (in machine language) for the Apple ][ once. My uncle said it looked exactly like the real thing. Well, I know it couldn't have looked -exactly- like it, but as far as he could tell it did. ---------------------------------------- Michael J.

The idea of the Pac-man looking like the original isn't that hard to believe,
the original space invaders was written on a ][+ and (somewhere) I have a copy
of it and lo-and-behold, it's EXACTLY the arcade version.
