[Dxspider-support] Spider <-> SV2AGW Packet Engine

[B. Charles Sutton]

More info..

  I just had a friend try to connect.  The TNC blinks the rcv light and the
icon for AGW increases the Rcv frames by 2 every time he tries, but Spider
never answers.  When I bootup Spider I see "AGW initializing and connecting
to localhost/8000 ...", but it doesn't appear that Spider and AGW are
talking to each other.   Do I need the TCPIP over radio Port turned on?

Colin & all,

  The TNC works fine with other software.  Spider sees AGW when it boots up.
If I have AGW off I see an appropriate message during the Spider boot.
Spider is working on the telnet side.  I tried using AGWTerm but I can't
seem to connect to the TNC.  My best guess is that I have AGW setup wrong
somewhere.  I know your not running it, but I wonder if anyone else has a
KPC3 running thru AGW on a windows machine that can compare settings with
me.

Charlie,

              If the KPC3 works in Kiss mode on other software successfully
( must be in kiss mode ) then a straightforward swap to the new hardware /
software should not change the KPC3 settings. First ensure it is in KISS (
run it on another machine ). then swap back to the current machine and look
for wrong serial cable connections and serial port handshaking speed plus
wrong agwpe port settings. I use a KPC3 here ( under Linux ) and have no
problems but I found the best way to confirm the settings of the KPC3 was to
use something like the Packet 5 or 6 program under DOS. I don't know AGW so
can't help there.

You could check the CMOS battery in the KPC3. My spare kpc3 won't set into
kiss as it was subjected to a lightning strike and still waits to be
repaired. ( Worth checking yours for poss damage ? )

- Regards Colin
