Press Release

Kantronics and Creative Services Software announce
partnership with 32 bit Windows 95 and
Windows NT Terminal Programs

Program to take advantage of Host Mode
on Kantronics TNC line.

Huntsville, Alabama. August 17, 1997: Kantronics and Creative Services Software announced a partnership on a new 32 bit Windows 95 and Windows NT based program for the Kantronics line of TNCs at the Huntsville Hamfest today. This new program takes advantage of the new features in Windows 95 and Windows NT, and integrates these features with the 'Host Mode' of the Kantronics TNCs.

The product is planned for release in the fourth quarter of 1997 with availability for downloading via the World Wide Web or 3.5 inch disk. It will retail for less than $80.

The new 32-bit program will require Windows 95 or Windows NT with 8 meg of ram and 2 megabytes of free hard drive space. The program supports Com1 through Com4. It supports the Windows interface with 'point and click' commands for the VHF or HF modes that the Kantronics TNCs support. The program is written in robust C++, using the Microsoft Foundation Class Library.

This Windows 95 and Windows NT host mode terminal program for the Kantronics™ TNC takes advantage of the true multitasking capabilities of Windows 95 and Windows NT and uses standard Windows commands for ease of use. From CW to HF packet, from single- to dual-port TNCs, it's now more fun to use the digital modes of amateur radio. Capabilities include:

• G-TOR® and G-TOR monitoring
• Multi-stream, multi-port support
• Switch between streams with a click of the mouse
• Text and binary file transfers
• User defined colors and fonts
• Separate window for non-packet HF modes, from CW through NavTex
• Save QSOs to a Microsoft Word™ compatible file
• Multiple monitor windows (including network traffic window)
