[OZAPRS] Small mobile TNC

[Andrew McDade]

Ive had a great deal of success using AGWPE along with UIVIEW and 
Oziexplorer whilst mobile just using the laptop sound card. In fact I
reckon 
using soundcard packet holds its own a lot of the time when compared to
some 
of the older type HF capable TNC's. Another idea, possibly slightly better

than AGWPE, is to use MIXW32 and set up a pseudo com port through to uivew

and oziexplorer. I reckon MIXW32 has slightly better 300bps packet
decoding 
capabilities than packet engine. Anyway either alternative gets you up and

running on HF aprs with basically no hardware required. Just some sort of 
quick and simple sound card interface.
