[net.ham-radio] TNC lockup

hardie@sask.UUCP (Peter Hardie) (10/23/84)

Has anyone heard of a fix for the TAPR TNC lockup problem whereby the board
locks up when used in converse mode? A friend has one and the lockup is 
occurring more and more frequently to the point that he can rarely transmit
any text now. He is using Version 3.0 and his board is SN #286.
Please mail replies to me at ihnp4!sask!hardie.

There was a problem in the earlier versions of TAPR code in which the board
would crash whenever it received a frame with an excessive (> 3) number
of digipeaters.  The latest version of code (I'll have to go check
the version number) seems quite robust; I've had it running for many months
now with the only crashes due to things like power failures.
