If you have to ask... Actually, it's a piece of equipment called a Terminal Node Controller. It's used to connect a computer to a Ham radio. Basically, it's a combination modem, network device and radio controller. It takes serial input, creates X.25 packets and sends them out the radio. It does the reverse when the radio receives a signal. This particular model also knows how to use many other digital modes (not just X.25) common to ham radio. I figured anyone interested in buying it would already know what it is. :-) Marc In article <slrn4mqpa5.mb1.sethml@gluttony.ugcs.caltech.edu> sethml@ugcs.caltech.edu (Seth M.
