I have been trying to locate ka9q for the Mac with no success. I have
checked all the normal ftp sites with no luck. Anyone know where it can
be ftp'd from?
Thanks,
Lance

Here is a brief explanatory excerpt from the UserMan.doc file: "The KA9Q Internet Package is currently the most common TCP/IP implementation(if not the only one!) in use on Amateur Packet Radio. The software supportsthe IBM PC and clones, the Apple Macintosh, the Commodore Amiga, and both BSD and System 5 Unix variants. The package provides IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and ARPas basic services, and implements the FTP, Telnet, and SMTP protocols as applications. The package also includes a separate mail user interface program by N3EUA called BM, and software from WA3PXX for forwarding PBBS mail over TCP. An associated set of software packages provide replacement ROM firmware for several TNC's, allowing them to be used with the KA9Q TCP/IP Package. At least two commercial manufacturers, AEA and Kantronics, now sup- port the KISS protocol in their TNC's, making them usable with TCP/IP. Charles Hedrick's excellent introduction to TCP/IP can be found in the same place you found this document, named TUTORIAL.DOC. If you're new to all this, go find and read that before you get too wound up in the bits..."
