more hints and modifications for TNC3 / 31

Up to date version: TF and TNC3BOX vers. 1.87 with OS 3.09 (Feb 2001).

bullet

Firmware supports frame collecting features. If a single packet out of a series of packets is lost, only the lost packets need to be retransmitted (retried). This improves throughput on weak channels.

bullet

Y2K: Date display valid until 2037.

bullet

Handshake (SLIP-mode) was improved from version 1.81.

bullet

Problems with 115200 baud RS232 (TNC31 only) had been fixed (OS 3.03).

bullet

TF (1.82) supports software-handshake in both directions (ESC-Z 3).

bullet

TF may be called including a script file, which is immediately executed under control of TF.

bullet

Within TF and TNC3BOD (Vers. 1.84) you can call scripts. (new command: ESC  #exec). 
this makes it possible to initiate an automatic connect after power-on.

bullet

New command ESC E (local echo on/off) (TF 1.84)

bullet

Minor DAMA- and software-watchdog-problems fixed in  TF 1.85.

bullet

Hayes-mode RS232 input buffer length now 16 kbyte (TF 1.87)

bullet

RS232 speed up to 460 kbaud supported by software (OS 3.08)

bullet

Hardware Handshake for all modes supported by software (OS 3.09 and TF 1.88)

 .apl  programs may be programmed with  flash -a  in the flash-EPROM of TNC3/31 and are translated to an executable (.ap) file there. Or you copy the .apl files into RAM with the cp command of OS.
