There are a few caveats on the 910 and 9612 combo. The 910 swaps the main and sub data ports when in satellite mode, and I don't think that is documented very well. Also, if you overdrive the 910 on 9600, it will simply not transmit. So check the cables to make sure they go to the correct port, and turn the drive audio down if you think it might be too high.

Also, don't forget GO-32 is a great 9600 Mode J BBS satellite.

I have been trying to use the data mode on AO-51. I am using WISP3212

IC 910 Kantronics 9612+. The down link works fine. When it should be transmitting for a fill I see the STA light flicker but no PTT!

The TNC will talk to another TNC at 9600 using HyperTerminal. I assume there is one more parameter that needs to be changed but I sure don't know what it is any hints?

Is there something newer than WISP3212 out? Is there anything that will work with sound card packet?

Know of any one who is using the 9612+ sucessfully?

Saw Your call in the cue last night.
