Does anybody know of any ham radio related software out there for Linux?
Especially software for packet radio. Thanks.
73,
Chris

Someone posts regularly on comp.os.linux.announce a list of packages.
I'm sorry; I don't know the name. If you monitor that group for a
while, you'll see it.

1. TNT V0.9 Packet Radio Hostmode Terminal (Ham Radio)
Announcing TNT V0.9 for Linux
-----------------------------
TNT - A Hostmode Terminal Program for Packet Radio
--------------------------------------------------
Packet Radio is a name for a packet oriented data protocol used
in Ham Radio. It is a special adaption of the X.25 protocol.
TNT does NOT implement this protocol, it needs a TNC (Terminal Node
Controller) with WA8DED Software or The Firmware by NORD><LINK.
TNT uses the hostmode which is implemented in these TNC-Firmwares
(The Firmware is available for all TNC2-clones, AEA PK232 and PK88).
TNT has totally different goals than the existing programs or kernel
extensions (Wampes, NOS, KA9Q, AX25 kernel driver, e.t.c.).
TNT does not use the packet radio connection as an additional network
interface of Linux, it is simply a program to make packet radio connections
with a comfortable user interface (I hope so...).
In release 0.9 many new features were implemented, but still TNT is in the
development phase, the implemented features are quite stable, but new
features are under test and not yet released.
TNT features:
- uses Linux console or termcap entries, runs from remote terminals
- no special kernel requirements, no patches needed
- virtual screens for all connections, for commands and for monitoring
- scrollback buffer on all virtual screens
- logging of received data
- sending of files
- connect text with macros for time, callsign e.t.c.
- fortune cookie sending if someone connects
- remote commands
- remote login to Linux
- redirection of input/output of a connection
- binary file transfer
- logbook
- connect script
- internet socket, use of TNT by a user of a different host
- extended monitor to read other connections on the frequency
- boxlist, help for using BBS's
- NETROM/TheNet header analysis
- heard list
- keyboard macros
- password generation
TNT is available via anonymous ftp from
quepasa.cs.tu-berlin.de (130.149.17.7)
in directory
pub/linux/hamradio/packet-radio
with name
tntsrc09.tgz (tar-gzip-archive)
This program is a little try to give back to the Linux community what the
Linux community has given to me (bringing back the fun to computing).
Your comments, ideas, code changes, new features are very welcome!
