I just joined the mailing list. I have looked through a lot of the archives and not found the information I am looking for, so I will try here. I have a computer running Ubuntu 10.04 and would like to use it for packet radio. I have tried Airmail and Outpost Packet Manager, both in Wine, but neither works well. Airmail works for one interchange then apparently messes up the the TNC (a KPC3), so that I have to reset the TNC to use it again on Windows. Outpost PM seems to communicate with the TNC OK, in the serial terminal, but never shows outgoing or incoming characters in the terminal window, and does not properly communicate with the TNC when trying to send/receive from the packet manager. Can anyone help me with the proper setup for Airmail or Outpost PM, or suggest other terminal software for packet operation with a KPC3 TNC? Thanks in advance.. 73 de John, KC5LAA
