<pre wrap="">Hi All
Due to the name of UZ7HO Soundcard software
"Sound Modem"
Here is a stupid question.
The Software is a modem and not a packet engine correct?
In other words in order to do connected packet with it one would have
to write the full AX25 protocol in their packet program.
The packet program would have to handle all the different
AX25 packets such as SABM for example.
On the other hand I have heard that UZ7HO's Soundcard Modem
is a direct replacement for AGWPE.

What do you mean by is "not a packet engine"? <br>
<br>
<br>
By itself, AGWpe is a modem and port manager -- not a user interface
or client. <br>
<br>
AGEpe DOES embody the entire AX.25 protocol (i.e. it is a packet
assembler/disassembler), but It is NOT a packet client/terminal.
You have to run something on top of it such as WinPack, UIview,
APRSpoint, etc to tell the PAD what to do. UZ7HO does exactly the
same thing with the same API.<br>
<br>
Further, note that UZ7HO is a direct replacement for AGWpe's sound
card modem only for those programs that utilize AGW via TCP/IP..
Earlier programs that used the AGW DDE interface (now deprecated)
instead (such as WinPack) won't work with UZ7HO. <br>
