Has anybody really tried the D700 or D7 at 9600 with
an external TNC (KPC9612+) or soundcard setup?

Even if the internal TNC is fubar, it would still be
great to have a dual band rig that really worked at 9k6.

I'm asking about using them for applications like FTP'ing
megabyte MP3 files with 1K byte packets or transfering
50Kbyte attachments on Winlink.

I was asking the same about the FT817 last year and
never did find out if anybody had tried it.  Maybe
now that winlink is picking up steam somebody has
checked it out.
