[Packet] Need help - TNC and Win98

[Ralph Milnes]

John,

Windows comes with a terminal communication program called HyperTerminal. 
It's not very intuitive but it will work with a TNC -- and it's free. You'd 
probably find it from the Start button under Programs: Accessories: 
Communication.

My favorite Windows packet program is WinPack 
http://www.ui-view.com/winpack/index.shtml . You can use it to talk to the 
TNC, too. It's has many bells and whistles, so a first time setup may seem 
a little complicated, but it's not really. It's nag-ware --  you can run it 
free forever but you'll get nagged to register it for $15 with the British 
author.

Write me direct if you want any help with either program.

73,

Ralph KC2RLM
