[aprssig] TNC Sleeping

[kb2scs at optonline.net]

HI Fred
             Here is a simple Basic program to take you TNC out of 
Kiss mode. I call it KissOff

A long time ago I had sent this program to the sig as I am doing now 
and someone compiled it into an exe and up loaded it to their web 
site. Do not remember the URL 

The following Basic program is MIcrosoft Quick Basic 4.5

REM KISSOFF.BAS Simple program to take tnc-2 tnc out of KISS MODE
DEFINT X-Z
DEFSTR S
CLS
INPUT "Enter Com port # here"; scom
INPUT "Enter Com baud rate here"; sbaud
OPEN "COM" + scom + ":" + sbaud + ",N,8,1,RB32000,TB32000" FOR RANDOM 
AS #1 LEN = 200
PRINT #1, CHR$(192); CHR$(255); CHR$(192)
CLOSE 1
PRINT
PRINT "TNC should be in command mode now."
END

Note due to e-mail some lines may end up as two lines and will have 
to be made one line again in order for the program to work.

If there is a demand I could make this into a Vb program which I 
would then release the source as above.

Let us hope we never witness the "Silence Of The Hams"
