Have to agree. Bare minimum for packet is a terminal and a TNC, provided
you don't
want to save anything.
Any Vax hardware that could do this trick? Particularly the DMB32 I
mentioned previously?
The ports are good to 19,200 F/D but no idea of the UART's (or whatever it
is they use instead)
Call me obsessed (aren't we all?) but the idea of being able to do packet
and rtty from the one
Vax with just modems and all the AX.25 etc done in software appeals to me.

On Topic: I
want to use the PDP 11/44 to talk to my (vintage) AEA
PK232 Multi-Mode terminal node controller... but even more I want
Is there any problem in doing that? Just link the TNC to a spare DL11 in
the 11/44. to lash up an
RTTY program for the PDP, to send and recieve Baudot
in real time.
DL11s can be jumpered for 5 bits and 1.5 stop bits IIRC.
