Bottom line, the ftp server at .std.com is indeed up and working. I guess if you've logged in with a "-"prefix to suppress the logon message you miss the details and only get the access denied comment. Also, it is entirely NORMAL to get access denied to anonymous users on most systems. After all the system IS there for the "real" users. Anonymous is a freebie for guests. Kind of like that "special" window at the bank for special customers. But sometimes (when there aren't any) they'll take the regulars. 73 es GE from Jeff /u1/jangus[150]=>> ftp world.std.com Connected to world.std.com. 220 world FTP server (Version 6.19 Wed Nov 24 18:28:15 EST 1993) ready.

We are using a German design tracking interface unit which we would like to implement with Instant Track. The drivers supplied with Instant track work with the Kansas City tracker board. I believe in a document called drv???.doc their is a complete description of the various registers etc. Does anyone have a copy of this document or any information that can be of use to us in writing TSR to interface with Instant track?

It goes with me from the house, to the car to the house, to the red cross truck to red cross national assignments back to the house. It's been dropped once or twice and doesn't seem to mind it. It is also if memory serves me right, the only ham rig that is built to millitary specs. I have had mine for a little over three years now and bought a yaesu ht because the 2400H worked out so well!

I write it as PacTOR mainly because the documentation I've seen (I think it was the Kantronics documentation) wrote it that way. I'd assumed that this was the correct ``spelling''.
