Does anyone know what became of the plans to develop a system for
pactor 2/3 using a PC soundcard rather than an extremely expensive
TNC?

I only found very old stuff by googling.

Thanks



The only trouble with Pactor is that only Pactor 1 was released to the
public in 1991. Pactor II and III are still LICENSED, PROPRIETARY code
held very close to SMS's chest. This is the reason a PACTOR TNC is so
expensive, just like Windoze Vista. You can't just use either of them
without further prosecution.

If they sold a program for your soundcard, you'd have some kind of
licensing dongle hanging out of your computer so you don't steal it and a
box with a CDROM in it would be $379 + VAT, still.

Pactor is never going to be cheap.....

Too bad sailmail got attached to it, instead of public domain code.
