Hi there !

I am using MacRatt III with my AEA-DSP-232 and PK-96. It works fine in my
G4 with system 9.2
This software is quite old but there is nothing more for these TNC-s
except of the generic terminal programs (e.g. Zterm...).

Other thing... Timewave sales department told me that Macratt copywrite
expired some years ago, and now can be freely distributed.

A fresh new software would be wellcome. (Something like Windowz Pkterm 99
(-www.timewave.com- ), perhaps ?) I am sure we are lot's of users owning
an AEA/Timewave tnc.

73-s from Iņigo. EB2DTP.

p.d. Any of those new programmers over there ? ;-)
