<P><FONT SIZE=2>Saul,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am running AGW under Windows 98, on a older CPU. I unfortunately cannot help you with your question, I don't know the answer. Seeing as how you are running a Windows config though, I thought maybe you could help me try to understand a couple problems I have been having that I have as of yet gotten no satisfactory explanantions for.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1) As I have posted to this list previously, I have a problem on my cluster where the RF link seems to 'hang', and data is not sent to the distant station properly. Sometimes an extra return sent by the connected station clears the condition, and sometimes the connection is completely frozen, with the missing data sent out only after the connected station forces a disconnect. My configuration is as a single node, not connected to the internet, only running as an RF only cluster on a local 2m frequency. I have now run with 2 different TNCs in KISS mode with AGW, (PK-232 and a MFJ-1270), as well as 2 different radios with no apparent effect on the problem. There are no error messages from the spider cluster software or the AGW that I can see. Have you ever experienced this?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>2) Do you have any documentation on the Kantronics host mode used in a KPC-3? I have access to this TNC from a friend and was thinking of trying it out.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3) I would like to make the system able to send out an infrequent ID beacon on the frequency. Do you know how to make this happen, either with a KISS TNC or a Host mode Kantronics?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for any assistance,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Does anyone know if AGW sets the AXD parameter "adaptively"? Or, does it</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>have a default value? Or, will it set axd from a command line in the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>port0.ini file (e.g. axd 20)?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Along the same vein, is there a way to query the TNC for parameter settings</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>while running KISS under AGW? I can do it Host mode with the KPC-3, but</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>can't seem to find a way with AGW running it in Kiss mode on the cluster.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cluster is K1RK, Woods Hole, MA, 145.750, feeds off of K1XX via Internet.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Tnx for any help that's forthcoming</FONT>
