It just turns RS-232 data into tones and vice-versa. I got the Baycom software to run off a DOS bootdisk, and the modem works just great. But what I would really like to do is do the same stuff under linux so I can do it over SSH. :) The only software package I could find that provides similar functionality to the original baycom software is tfkiss, but I have been unsuccessful in getting it to compile. The tarball looks antiquated, and it fails compilation on my modern linux system (I'm not much of a software guy; I'm learning). Does anyone know of an application that pretends to be a TNC and makes all the nicely formatted packets with just the simple text interface? Perhaps someone knows how I can compile tfkiss properly? Any and all comments appreciated. Cheers, Jonathan Lassoff (KG6THI, now /AG; got my general class!)
