[Packet] A Couple of Questions

[KA5KAB]

Hi All,

The name here is Carl and I am just starting out in packet radio.

My first question is, what frequencies on 40 meters are normally used 
for keyboard to keyboard QSOs? Is there anyone on the list who regularly 
gets on 40 packet whom I might be able to connect with on the air? I'm 
in SE Texas by the way.

The second question is, is there anyone on the list who has used a PK-88 
TNC with a 68k Macintosh? I have a Mac Classic II that I have been 
trying to use with the PK-88. The Mac will receive from the PK-88 but 
for some reason the TNC will not respond to commands sent from the Mac. 
I have wired my cable from the Mac to the TNC based on some info on the 
'net several different ways, but nothing seems to work. This leads me to 
believe that there is something that I need to do to the PK-88, such as 
jumper settings or something else. I have also tried several different 
terminal programs but that didn't work either. Any info on this would be 
appreciated. By the way, the PK-88 works fine with a PC.

Thanks for reading this,

73,
Carl KA5KAB
