- This software is copyrighted. However, it (both source and binary) are
- freely copyable for NON-COMMERICAL AMATEUR RADIO USE ONLY. For ANY other
- use, contact the author.
-
- This software will allow you to get on 1200 baud packet radio with minimal
- hardware. You will need:
-
- - a PC with a parallel port
- - a UHF/VHF radio
- - a modem (interface details and references in the documentation)
- - this software
-
- You will need a modem before you can do much with this program. The current
- version hangs the machine if no modem is plugged in so you can't even get
- in and play around.
-
- This disk or archive should contain the following files:
-
- READ.ME This file
- PMP.EXE Main program
- PMP.CFG Configuration file
- PMPTEST.EXE Test and alignment utility
- PMP.DOC Program documentation
-
- The documentation (PMP.DOC) can be printed by dumping it to your printer:
-
- COPY PMP.DOC PRN
-
- The documentation contains installation, configuration, and modem interface
- details but is by no means complete. You will discover several nifty
- undocumented features if you read the source.
-

- direct any comments, suggestions, bugs, or errors (no matter how small) to
