When choosing which device to use for Radiomail, the Vara options are
easily understood.
For the KISS TNC Modem, you can discover a BLE or TCP modem. For the BLE,
something like a Mobilinkd TNC3 comes to mind. For the TCP, a computer
running Direwolf is probably the most common.
The question: Could the TCP Modem be a Kantronics KPC3+ (the quintessential
TNC) connected to a computer via a USB serial cable? I know you can put the
KPC3+ into KISS mode but how can its presence be broadcast over TCP?
Dire Wolf has zero-conf built in. It's not released yet, so you have to compile from source from the `dev` branch https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/pull/307
alternatively, you can advertise on linux with `avahi-publish`:
avahi-publish -s "My TNC" _kiss-tnc._tcp 8001 "pn=144.800 1200,434.125 9600"
In KISS TNC Modem settings there is no IP nor Port of the TNC for TCP connection. Is it possible to connect UZ7HO type KISS TNC over TCP to RadioMail.
In my case the IP is 10.0.0.88 and KISS server Port 8200.
UZ7HO running on Win10 MiniPC. How should I connect it?
Current 1.0.0 version relies on zero-conf for packet TNC so there is not ability to specify host or port. You can have your host broadcast its configuration via dns-ds as described here in thread. I realize it's cumbersome for some users, particularly on Windows.
There is an upcoming update of RadioMail (1.0.2) that provides an option to manually enter host and port. Will be released soon, it's pending Apple approval.
