This includes the most asked for feature of the last year!  Yes, I
finally got around to it!  With this version you will be able to take
a tnc, radio, and computer with internet connection, and make a local
rf gateway to the internet spotting network.  No expensive and hard to
configure node software.  No databases to maintain.  No user's to help
out. No extra drivers to load.  Just a simple gateway from a tnc to
the internet.  Use it to cover remote areas without enough users for
their own node.  Use it on an alternate frequency to reduce
congestion.  Replace 3rd party kiss mode tnc drivers with a program
that can be started and stopped independent of your node software.
With this software and your existing internet access you can fill the
gaps in the spotting network and bring cheap access to remote areas,
or help relieve over crowded user frequencies in congested areas.

The only drawback... i only have kpc3+ tnc's here to test it with.  I
expect it will work with any single port kantronics tnc that supports
the streamsw mechanism for tracking input streams.  But i would like
some help figuring out what settings may be needed on other tnc's.  If
you have a dual port kantronics tnc i would like to know how it
handles switching ports and streams.  If you have other brand tnc's,
how do they handle presenting multiple incoming connection streams to
the computer??  If you use it with something other than a kpc3+ please
send me the .ini file that you use... or let me know if the one i
supply works on your hardware.
