A2000 Serial Port

[k4lmp]

Hello, all.  As you may have noticed by my user name, I am a HAM Radio operator.  I would like to run packet radio with my A2000.  I have a bunch of TNC's, which is basically the same thing as a modem, except instead of connecting to a phone line, it connects to my radio.  The DB25 male connector on my A2000 is what I need, so I'm good there.  The question I have is what is a good terminal program to run, and what is the name of the serial port?  For example, in Windows, it is COM1, COM2, etc. and in Linux, it is TTY0, TTY1, etc.  What is it called on an Amiga, say running WB3.1 or ClassicWB?  My TNC's use typical settings, usually 9600, 8N1.  I have this setup on my Linux PC, and even on my C64 & 128.  I would like to do this on Amiga, as well.  I have searched, but  found nothing.

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for the info.  Actually, a terminal program is all you need, as the TNC controls the PTT on the radio.  I use a regular terminal program sometimes on my Windows PC.  On my Linux machine, I have a terminal program that does TCP/IP, and I have 6 TNC's hooked up to a TCP/IP server, and just connect via IP to whichever port I have the TNC that I want to use connected to.  I need to play around with it I guess on the Amiga.

Thanks,
Jeff

Well, for what I will be using it for, all I need is 9600.  That is plenty fast enough, and is what I have all of my TNC's set for.

Thanks

Well, I finally got to play around with my packet radio and my A2000.  I had to wait until I got my Indivision ECS, as I moved my other flickerfixer to my A500.  So I hooked up my TNC to the serial port, and downloaded a program called Terminus.  It works pretty good.  The only thing is it supposedly expires in 30 days.  I am sure it can't be registered now.  Other than that, everything worked fine.  I connected to our local node, checked my email, connected to my BBS, all over my VHF radio using packet.  Thanks for the help.
