3480.0. "AmigaNOS 900201" by DICKNS::MACDONALD (WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25) Wed Feb 14 1990 15:30

    I have a copy of the latest KA9Q NOS software developed for the
    Amiga by WA3YMH.
    
    Most of the activity is on 144.91 and 145.51 with switches to packet
    and usenet.
    
    I have been using the 890810 version for sometime now. Seems to
    work okay.

    This archive contains only the NET program, nothing else. Extract
    it on your Amiga.

	Picture this ... internet using radio rather than landline.
3480.3	Ooh, now everyone can hear my transmissions?	BSS::CALLAGHAN	last hymn is sung, Devil cries MORE	`Thu Feb 15 1990 16:48`	10
	Sounds excellent, but I would be concerned about the security of it (for any work stuff, or even my private exchanges) * Does it allow for encryption? * What kind of transciever equip do you need? Kcaj

	By law, amatuer radio is a public service and a hobby. Business communications are not allowed. Also, encryption of communications is not allowed. Although the packets are a form of digital "encryption" they can be copied with TNC's readily available from local sources. Usenet material gets distributed to me via radio. It is quite amazing! Interested in learning more about it? Attend a local amateur radio club meeting! With a scanner, a TNC, and a simple terminal or terminal program for your computer, you can monitor the activity on 145.01, 145.03, 145.05, 145.07, 145.09, 144.91, 145.51. There is also packet activity on 448 MHz, 221 MHz, and HF.

	RE -1 Thanks, thats a good place to start, I will do so!! BTW, can you recommend any texts that would be useful? thanks again, Jack
3480.6	This is news to me...	PAMSRC::BARRETT	Of Optical Mice and Men...	`Mon Feb 19 1990 17:48`	2
	Does this mean what I think it means? USENET from my house for free? At what baud rate? What is a TNC?
3480.7	UUCP	DICKNS::MACDONALD	WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25	`Tue Feb 20 1990 12:27`	2
	I think you need Matt Dillons UUCP package for that.
3480.8	AmigaNOS 900214	DICKNS::MACDONALD	WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25	`Wed Feb 21 1990 09:34`	6
	The latest AmigaNOS V900214, is available in dickns::user:[macdonald.amiga.new] A few bug fixes. No more privilege problems with the mailbox, or gurus with SMTP KICK when a file is locked.
