If you are into Packet Radio, you owe it to yourself to try
PK232COM. It's the world's first electronic mail program which
deleivers mail to your disk without you having to request it.
PK232COM runs on the IBM PC and clones. It is a Personal Packet
Terminal Program for the TNC1, TNC2 and PK232. It uses function
keys to allow the user to communicate rather than to adjust the
TNC parameters most of which he doesn't understand anyhow. For
example, consider this list of some of the features built into
the program.
* Selective Answering Machine. Connectees get messages addres-
sed to them automatically on connect.
* Conference mode in multi- connect situations.
* Alert signal to let you know when a predetermined call shows
up in a packet header on frequency.
* Automatic disk recording of all packet radio connects. Auto-
matic indication of Packet connects.
* Smart Printer control. Turns off at disconnect.
* Indicator that a specific station designated as the 'target'
call connected while you were away.
* Automatic NET/ROM path set up from PK232COM.DIR call/path
directory file.
* Local Area Network (LAN) message store and forward.
* Capable of automatic connect attempts to download a QTC from
an other station in the LAN.
* Digipeat monitoring and capture.
* Path determination to Dx station.
* Will call CQ repetitively and either work the connect and
keep going after disconnect or signal you when a reply is
received.
* Automatic optimized configuration of the TNC for each com-
munications mode.
* Function key 'OVER' feature.
* Automatic Beacon Mode CQ caller in Packet and AMTOR communi-
cations modes.
* Automatic logbook entries for Packet and Beacon mode AMTOR
Connects, semi automatic logbook entries for other modes.
* Log file is compatible to that of the G3ZCZ CONTEST program

For PK232 users the following features are also built into the
program.

* Automatic CQ caller. Will call CQ repetetively and signal
you when a reply is received.
* SELCAL.
* Capture to disk of all ingoing and outgoing text of any QSO.

increments QSO count.
