Software For BayPac Modems |
To help you get started with your BayPac Modem, we have put together
this list of compatible shareware and commercial programs.
In this document we will tell you who makes the program, what modes they
have to offer, and where you can get your copy! We will tell you how to
configure each program for use with your BayPac modem and make comments about
configuration or operation. At the end of this document you will find a list
of incompatible programs and the reasons why each of them will not work with
the BayPac.
Tigertronics in no way endorses or supports any of the programs listed
in this document. We have compiled this list only to aid you in locating
programs that are known to work with the BayPac series of modems. As you
should expect, some programs will work better than others. Many work better
or worse depending on your specific equipment configuration. We recommend
that you download and evaluate several programs to determine which works
best in your particular application. This list represents only a sampling of
the software that is available. We will make an ongoing effort to refine and
update this list as we become aware of suitable programs.
We would appreciate any comments you may have about programs that you are
using with the BayPac. We welcome all comments - Pro or Con! We would like
to add your comments to the list, for all to share (if appropriate!
Before we get started, here are a few notes on how this information is
put together. The programs in this document are listed in alphabetical order
by program name. If the program is from a commercial source then the
company's name will be listed. If the program is shareware then you will
find the word "Shareware" instead.
To find out where you can get your copy of the program, look for the
"Source:", followed by one (or several) numbers. These numbers reference an
Internet Web Page, a telephone BBS number, or the authors address (Sources are
listed at the end of this document).
The "Comments:" line will give you the information that you need to
configure the program, along with any tips and suggestions that might be
helpful.
The "Min Requirements:" line tells you what the computer hardware
requirements are for each program (as per the programs documentation).
The last thing that we need to mention is that the BP-2M has many
different "Modes" which allow it to operate with the various programs. The
number that you see following the line "BayPac Mode:" indicates which Mode
you must select in the BPMODE program to be compatible. Programs that
support 9600 baud packet will show "BP-96" instead of (or in addition to)
the Mode number. Please note that the BP-1 and BP-2 modems will only run
programs that use Mode 1 (1200 baud packet).

AGWPE.ZIP AGW Packet Engine - Freeware
Source: 1 BayPac Mode: 1, BP-96
Comments: NOTE: All links to the AGW packet programs now go
directly to the authors web site. This will insure
that you get the latest version of each program.
The AGW Packet Engine is the heart of the AGW series
of packet programs from George Rossopoulos, SV2AGW.
The packet engine acts as the interface between the
modem and the other AGW applications (see below).
The packet engine supports multiple modems and
multiple simultaneous connections. This means that
you can have a BP-2 and a BP-96 connected to two
different stations, each transferring a different
file, at the same time! In addition to downloading
the AGW Packet Engine, you will also need the AGW
DRIVERS, and one of the AGW packet programs listed
below.
To install the AGW Packet Engine and drivers, unzip
AGWPE.ZIP to an empty directory on your hard drive.
Next, unzip DRIVERS.ZIP to your "Windows\System\"
directory. Finally, read the AGWPE help file for
detailed directions on setting up the program.
Note: When selecting the modem during setup, you
should select "BayCom Serial" if you are using a
BP-1, BP-2 or BP-2M. Select "BP-96" if you are
using a BP-96/BP-96A.
Min Requirements: IBM Compatible PC running Windows 95/98
Supports: 1200 baud packet (BP-1, BP-2 & BP-2M) & 9600 baud
packet (BP-96)
AGWBBS.ZIP AGW BBS List Viewer - Freeware
Source: 1 BayPac Mode: 1, BP-96
Comments: The AGW BBS program allows you to monitor your
local BBS (must be FBB compatible) and automatically
download messages of interest. You can also upload
files to the BBS, using either ASCII, 7-Plus, or a
special AGW binary encoding scheme. The AGW BBS
program works in conjunction with AGWFWD and AGW7PLUS,
which are included in the AGWBBS.ZIP archive file.
To install AGW BBS, simply extract AGWBBS.ZIP to an
empty directory on your hard drive. See the programs
help file for configuration information.
Min Requirements: IBM Compatible PC running Windows 95/98.
Also requires the AGW Packet Engine listed above.

Comments: The AGW Cluster program allows you to send and receive
"DX Spots" to and from a DX Cluster. The program also
lets you send messages and DX Spot info to others via
unproto transmissions. Voice readout of the spot and
scripting are also supported.
To install AGW Cluster, simply extract AGWCLUST.ZIP to
an empty directory on your hard drive. See the
programs help file for more information.
Min Requirements: IBM Compatible PC running Windows 95/98.
Also requires the AGW Packet Engine listed above.

packet (BP-96)
AGWTCPIP AGW TCPIP - Shareware
Source: 1 BayPac Mode: 1, BP-96
Comments: George Rossopoulos (SV2AGW) has also written TCPIP
drivers for Windows 95 and Windows 98. These drivers
allow you to setup an Internet Gateway and use any
Windows 95/98 TCPIP compatible program (like your
web browser) over radio. Please visit George's
AGW Packet Programs Website to download these
programs. While your there, be sure to print out the
installation instructions (on screen), because they
aren't included with the drivers.
Min Requirements: IBM Compatible PC running Windows 95/98
Also requires the AGW Packet Engine listed above.

software out there. In our testing, it consistently
out performs all other TNC emulating software.
BayCom is available as a shareware product or as a
commercial product. BayCom v1.4 is the latest
(and the last) SHAREWARE release, and BayCom v1.6 is
the current commercial version. BayCom v1.6 supports
serial ports COM3 & COM4 (in addition to COM1 & COM2),
and 9600 baud packet operation (requires 9600 baud
modem). Keyboard macros, a new transfer protocol,
and a screen saver have also been added.

(not YAPP) and ASCII file transfers. Baycom v1.6 also
automatically saves 7Plus encoded files to disk

versions of BayCom support remote operations, and both
can be set up to operate as a mailbox or mini-BBS.
EZPACKET.ZIP Ez Packet v2.3 - Freeware
Source: 28 BayPac Mode: 1
Comments: Ez Packet is a really neat packet program for DOS. It performs very well, and it requires less disk space than any other DOS packet program - less than 160k for all files, including the on-line help!. Configuring the serial ports can be a little confusing with this program, so we have already setup the program for the most commonly used port COM2. To configure the program for another port, all you have to do is replace the letters "2F" in the port settings (0x2FC, 0x2FE and 0x2FB) with the appropriate letters for the port you are using. For COM1 use "3F", for COM3 use "3E", and for COM4, use "2E". After you've configured the program and are ready to run, you can access the on-line help at any time by pressing Alt-H.

TFPCX271.ZIP TFPCX v2.71 - Shareware
Source: 21, 27 BayPac Mode: 1, 2
Comments: TFPCX is a RAM resident (TSR) program that receives
and decodes packet transmissions. TFPCX is almost
always used as the front end to other programs (like
Graphics Packet, Super Packet, etc.), however it can
also be set up to act as a VERY SIMPLE stand alone
terminal program. This latest version of TFPCX has
many new features including support for 9600 baud
packet (see our BP-96A) and DAMA operation. Please
see the programs documentation files for more
information.
NOTE: We have found that TFPCX may not load on some
newer Pentium computers (it locks up). If you
experience this problem, then try using the TFX
driver below (if your program supports it). Also
note that programs employing this driver work very
well, but perhaps not quite as well as BayCom.

Most of the programs on this list are Shareware. Simply put, Shareware
means that you are welcome to download and use the program at no charge for a
limited trial period. After the evaluation period, if the program meets your
needs and expectations and you plan to continue using it, you are asked to
send a small registration fee to the author.
Some of these programs represent "man years" of effort and rival their
commercial counterparts. By marketing these programs as shareware, the
authors are able to bring you outstanding products at rock bottom prices.
But, Shareware only works if you honor your part of the agreement.
