 2) I have a CD from the FADCA,  http://www.fadca.org, Technical
Conference from April 30 2005, that has most of the programs that we have
talked about from the first digital meeting and also the on-line EchoLink
conference. I will be happy to make copies for everyone that is coming to
the digital meeting on November 25th. But I need a headcount on who is
coming so I know how many disc to make if you are interested in one. This
will save some time in downloading these from the Internet. So I need to
know by Wed at 5PM (because of Turkey Day) if you would like a copy (I don't
think that BUD will mind!)

Doug-  The WL2K-related programs on that CD ROM are grossly out of date. I
suggest you use the following urls and download the latest and greatest.

If your ISP is broad band, I can actually send you all the latest files.

Good luck with the seminar.

PROGRAMS REQUIRED FOR E-MAIL OVER HAM RADIO

To run E-mail over Ham radio several (free) programs are required on the
computer.  The following programs need to be downloaded from the indicated
internet sites and saved to your hard drive (i.e. Desktop or where ever.)

If your computer runs Win2000 or newer you will need the following:

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package

Do a Google search for

MS DOT Netframework

Then download

(the file name is dotnetfx.exe)

You can go ahead and run the Install for this - it is fully automatic and
becomes part of the operating system.

Packet programs and support programs -

For general packet use, I recommend Winpack.  It is free and will allow a
range of capabilities - keyboarding, file sending, capturing, etc.  We
install Winpack on all the computers we help put on packet.  You can
download it here:

http://www.winpack.org.uk/

Scroll down the page for the software section and download

Winpack Full Install Version 6.80 ( The LAST Version available ) 2.12mb
You can download the direct install version or an install version on two
floppies.

Then get AGW Packet Engine (AGW PE) Free - not the pay for version AGW PE
Pro.  Get it here:

http://www.elcom.gr/sv2agw/inst.htm

Scroll down the page and get AGW Packet Engine

download AGWPE.zip

The WL2K-related series of programs may be found here:

http://www.winlink.org/Client.htm

Scroll down and look for and download

Paclink AGW

Post Office

Then get Airmail here

http://www.siriuscyber.net/ham/

and download  Airmail 3.2 Ham Client complete install

There is also a download for floppies if needed.
