Welcome to the KA9Q Internet Package!\r
\r
This file reflects the changes made up to version 870829.12.  The major\r
new feature since 870829.0 is the addition of full-blown support for\r
AX.25 Level 2.  It may be used to acknowledge IP datagrams on a\r
hop-by-hop basis and also to communicate with conventional (i.e., non-TCP)\r
AX.25 stations from the keyboard. \r
\r
A number of the commands relating to specific protocols (e.g., AX.25,\r
TCP, IP, UDP) have been restructured in a hierarchical fashion.  For\r
example, the "digipeat" and "mycall" commands have been made subcommands\r
under the "ax25" main command.  See useguide.doc for details. NOTE: you will\r
have to change your autoexec.net with this release!\r
\r
The .ARC files that make up the distribution are compressed archives that\r
were created with version 3.5 of the PKXARC archive program.  They may\r
not be compatible with the ARC program produced by System Enhancement \r
Associates, because the PKARC program knows more compression methods than\r
ARC.  For your benefit, a self-extracting archive PKX35A35.EXE has been\r
provided.  Run it to extract a program that can be used to extract the\r
archives.\r
\r
The distribution is structured based on the directory structure used to\r
create the software:\r
\r
NET_BM.ARC	.\BM	- sources to Bdale's Mailer, and Gerard's Gateway\r
NET_DES.ARC	.\DES	- an implementation of DES (Data Encryption Standard)\r
			  for possible use in validating logins, etc.\r
NET_DOC.ARC	.\DOC	- all of the doc files\r
NET_EXE.ARC	.\EXE	- executable programs and config files\r
NET_SRC.ARC	.\SRC	- sources to NET.EXE\r
\r
TNC_ASH.ARC	.\TNC\ASH	- KISS for the VADCG and ASHBY boards\r
TNC_LDR.ARC	.\TNC\LDR	- N4HY's KISS downloader in Turbo Pascal\r
TNC_TNC1.ARC	.\TNC\TNC1	- KISS for the TAPR TNC-1 and clones\r
TNC_TNC2.ARC	.\TNC\TNC2	- KISS for the TAPR TNC-2 and clones\r
\r
\r
Whatever you do, *PLEASE* don't unpack all of the .ARC files in one directory,\r
as there are duplicate names all over the place... Makefiles, README files,\r
etc.\r
\r
After unpacking, look for a README file in each archive.  Read this first,\r
before you do *anything* else.  Some are just informative, some are very\r
important.\r
\r
Finally, we're constantly striving to improve this software, and the \r
distribution as a whole.  Comments may be forwarded to Bdale Garbee, N3EUA.\r
Several of the Doc files include info on how to reach me...\r
\r
Above all, HAVE FUN!\r
\r
