Description
This program is the heart of the system. This program does
all the traffic between the packet applications (AGWFWD,AGWTERMINAL,AGECLUSTER
and others) and your TNCs. It runs as an Icon. It has the capability to handle
100 tncs and 100 applications at the same time. For the moment works with
external tncs in KISS mode, Baycom Like serial modems for 1200-9600, DRSI cards
(4 sharing the same IRQ line 8 Radioports),Baycom USCC cards, Sound Cards with
the PSA chipset 1200/9600, OE5DXL,YAM, OptoScc, PetScc . New drivers for new
harware will be available as soon as i get the Hardware!!! It handles also the
special dual port tncs of kantronics (KAM,KPC96 etc.) and AEA (PK900 etc).
This program has the capabilities to handle different applications it does that
only if each application has a different call. Eg agwfwd.exe with
SV2AGW-1,Agwterminal.exe SV2AGW, agwwcluster.exe SV2AGW-3 etc. That way with
just a tnc you work like you have two or three or four different tnc and TRCVRs.
In case you have more than a tnc then each program can work all the tncs at the
same time. You can eg. Chat with a friend with the agwterminal.exe in tnc1 (eg.vhf
1200bauds) and also receive a YAPP form tnc2 (eg. UHF 9600bauds). And also
receive your mail from tnc1 and cluster dxspots also from tnc1. The combinations
are unlimited.
What the program doesn't do is that of gateway for other stations. Other
stations cannot gateway from your tncs. Also it doesn't serves as a digi . This
is done for two reasons. First I don't like the idea "every tnc and a digi".
Leave it for clubs and special packet teams to decide if we need a digi or not.
Second because I have to write a lot of code and I can't do it right now. Maybe
in the future if I receive many requests for those operations . AGW Packet
Engine can also use the native build in TCPIP
protocol
over Packet Radio
