KISS eprom images

KISS eprom images

[Jim Kusznir]

Hi all:

This is a bit off topic, but my intended use is with linux!

I'm searching high and low for any KISS or (preferably) 6pack rom
images so that I can load my TNCs up with them and get a good, solid
linux interface.  The vendor-supplied TNC image is not up to snuff for
this on one of my TNCs, and my other use is retrofitting my stack of
TheNet nodes with a linux embedded system, and KISS roms.

So, if anyone can provide me TNC2-compatible (and PK96 if available --
I have one PK96, 3 TNC2s, and 2 PacCOM SPRINT-2s), I'd greatly
appreciate it.

 Jim,

If you're using Linux (or windows for that matter), you'll probably get
better performance by just using Tom Sailer's soundmodem with a
soundcard (either PCI or external USB -- but a good quality one) rather
than trying to use 1980's-era TNC2's.  I have several long-running
production digipeaters running with my aprsdigi code and Tom's
soundmodems -- albeit all at 1200 baud.  I've played around a little
with 9600 baud but don't know enough to say anything useful.

See http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/soundmodem/ and
http://www.baycom.org/~tom/pcf/ptt_circ/ptt.html for the PTT circuit for
serial or parallel ports.

Hello Jim,

for TNC2s have a look here:
http://www.symek.com/d/tnc2firmware.html

There's SMACK and the better 6pack for 27C256 eproms.
