PK-88 OPERATING MANUAL
2.13
PBBS, Electronic Mail and File Server Program Compatibility
The PK-88 can be used successfully with a variety of electronic mail programs,
as well as with several PBBS (Packet Bulletin Board) programs written for the
PC/MS-DOS computers. The PK-88 operates with BBS programs by WORLI, VE3GYQ,
WA7MBL, KA2BQE, AC4X and others.
Please consult the authors of these applications programs directly for
information on operating the PK-88 with their programs. Our Customer Service
Department cannot provide this information.
The PK-88 also performs well with several applications that use the TCP/IP
suite of protocols written by KA9Q for the PC/MS-DOS computers, available in
the packet radio community. See Chapter 6 for details on Host Mode, KISS TNC,
TCP/IP and other special applications.
The following default parameters should be considered as initial or
experimental settings for these host applications:

Data Carrier Detect (DCD) Requirements
Certain host computer application programs require that Pin 8, 1DCD1 (Data
Carrier Detect) be asserted during connected state. In such cases, Pin 8 must
be wired between the computer and the PK-88.
The PK-88's jumper JP3 must be set to force Pin 8 to follow the PK-88's
connect status. This requires a change from the factory-set jumper position.
See paragraph 2.8.2 for jumper JP3 details.
