Folks,

The computer on Sawnee that been removed from service.  The drawback of the
computer was that it tended to need rebooting every few days or it would
crash.  The TNCs now have intelligent eproms in them and should work well
around the clock day in and day out.  The serial ports are linked to each
other through a diode matrix.  Each TNC can talk to every other TNC.

Some fine tuning of the TNC parameters will need to be done after I have the
chance to observe it some.

Access is as follows:

'c sawnee' does not work anymore!
'c ax1 ks4q' is not a valid command!

2400 bps 145.01 MHz; 'c saw3'
2400 bps 144.97 MHz; 'c saw4'
1200 bps 145.63 MHz; 'c saw5'

Once you get a connect on any of the three above
frequencies, enter 'c saw1'

Once you get a connect to saw1,
enter 'c ks4q'

When you disconnect, you will have to keep saying bye until you get '***
Disconnect' from your TNC!

I'm relatively new to using intelligent eproms in TNCs and may discover a
way to simplify the connect process.  But for now, the above works and will
get you your spots!  Please let me know if you have any difficulty getting
in.
