[Fwd: Re: [FADCA] Update on NEW bbs program]

[kf4uth at juno.com]

HI,

IF W4LX WERE TO RETURN TO AA4RE, IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD FPAC LATER?  WHAT
WOULD BE NEEDED?  IS A PHONE LINE NEEDED, AS THAT MIGHT BE A HURDLE?
WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THE BBS TO TRY TO GET RID OF THE 'NOISE' ON THE
SIGNALS.  SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TRIED AND STILL THERE IS HUM.  WE WILL TRY
AGAIN THIS WEEK.

NEW TNC'S ARE BEING ORDERED AND NEW CABLES MADE FOR W4LX.  MAYBE IT WILL
BE UP AND WORKING SOON.

THANKS,
TOM,  KF4UTH
