Hi, Sean.

No problem. Upkeep of the Mac ham software list has been taken
over by Terry Stader, KA8SCP. I'll attach the latest version at
the end of this message. (If by some chance it's too long and
gets chopped off, let me know and I'll send it in smaller pieces.)


73,
Patty

p.s. I know that some of the AMPRnet/Internet wormholes serve
England; have you tried them? Theoretically, we could do direct
SMTP, FTP, etc. sessions between our AMPRnet stations. That is,
if I ever take my packet station off the space shuttle frequency
and put it back on the TCP/IP frequency... :-)

Macintosh Amateur Radio Software - March 1994
Version 1.06

Please feel free to distribute this list as widely as possible. Many
of you have asked if it is OK to cross-post this list? I don't mind,
but I would like to know where it is going. If you think it should
be cross-posted to other USENET groups, please let me know so I can
try and manage these. We don't want to have any duplication or our
welcome will be wore out! I will also try and honor individual
requests for this list... but I do not always catch all of the
newsgroups postings... so please DO NOT reply/ask there! If I am a
little slow in getting the list back to you... hang in there!

Those of you that can tell me about ANY of these programs
compatibility with System 7 would be appreciated! I am going to be
adding a System 7 compatability section to EACH description in
future releases. If the application is KNOWN to execute properly
under System 7, the System 7 anotation will be placed as the last
line of the product description. More clarification on levels of
System 7 compatibility in the future editions... but this is a
start!

Some of the information in this list was gleaned from flyers
supplied by the software vendors, or in some cases from reviews in
amateur radio publications or the README files included with the
archive. Some of the information has not been verified for a long
time; please check with the vendors/authors for the latest product
specs, pricing, etc.

NEW/CHANGES: A new group has been added... that of WEFAX. Although
some of the software currently available supports this mode, RadFax
is the first to be listed as the only function of receiving waether
facsimille.

I've started adding more version numbers so that our users will know
if they have the most current release. Thanks to those that have
already sent them in... I'll accept all corrections!

This list contains info on updated for several applications: updated
information on Kantronic's Host Master(thanks John-WD1V) and Lar's
newest release of Morse Trainer 1.1.1. Ivo-ON1XK and Adam-PA2AGA
both contnue to be busy with new releases of IM/Mac and NET/Mac
repsectively. I know that Adam made changes to support the multiport
serial boards... and now we can have up to 16 TNCs connected!

Thanks Adam, Ivo and Lars for some great products!

A reminder that The World  Software Tool and Dye, is one of the
newest site carrying the Mac Ham Radio Software. Scott-WY1Z is
maintaining these file as the Librarian of the Boston Amateur Radio
Club. Look in the following path at ftp.std.com:  /pub/hamradio/mac.

Check at the bottom of this list for more information on ftp'able
sites carrying Amateur Radio software.

The ARRL ListServer is also carrying the latest version of this
list... in case you loose this one!

real speed as follows: Real speed = Number of Words/end time -
start time. And the lengh of word is generating randomly, so if
you set even 5WPM, sometimes another value will appear. However
you should believe the slidebutton's value. If you repeat many
times, the average speed should be 5WPM (if not... anyway, believe
the slidebutton's value).  Archive is available mac.archive.umich.edu,

responses the program shows the correct character; the list of
characters at the end which will show those you know and those
you need more practice on; the frequency of the tone has been

Kevin Krueger, N0IOS and marketed by Kantronics. It is a commercial
product available from most of the ham radio stores and supports
single and multiple packet connects, packet monitoring, and HF
operation (with KAM) each on a separate window, all at the same
time. This package retails for $69.95 in the US and is intuitive,
friendly, and well supported by Kantronics. Current version as of
10/20/93 is 1.2. It is hoped that a future version will support FAX
but currently Hostmaster supports PACKET, AMTOR, RTTY, PACTOR (KAM
ver. 6.0), CW, and NAVTEX.  Features: text and binary file transfer;
packet conferencing; color or B&W windows; cut, copy, paste between

<PacketTracker 1.05>
 PacketTracker ver 1.05 is a program that monitors packet activity
and keeps track of what is going on. It draws a graphical map
showing who is talking to who and displays statistics of all current
stations and keeps a running tally of activity.  PacketTracker was
written for both the casual packet user and the network manager or
BBS operator. The casual packet user will be able to learn a great
deal about what is happening in packet around him; which stations
are generating the most data and what some of them are. he will be
able to see graphically what stations he can hitdirectly and which
ones he cannot.  For the network manager and BBS operator,
PacketTracker provides extensive insight to the operation of the
local network and problems such as excessive retries on a path. It
also allows for extensive logging of channel utilization and other
pertinate information.
 NOTE: This application requires the Apple's Serial Tool from the
Communications Toolbox.
