Problem: When I use WinPack with my PK-232, WinPack thinks that the TNC is connected all the time. (More or less any other AEA/Timewave TNC can be substituted for PK-232). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Answer: With most AEA/Timewave TNCs it is most important that you use the TNC command "DCDCONN ON", this makes the DCD output from the TNC reflect the connected state. The default is that the DCD output is permanently on, which makes WinPack, and many other programs, think that the TNC is connected. If the TNC is a PK-88 then the setting of JP3 inside the TNC is used to control the behaviour of the DCD. Again the default setting is that DCD is permanently on. Roger Barker, G4IDE December 1997
