Sure, connect a laptop and run HYPERTERM (under
PROGRAMS-ACCESSORIES).  Configure your D700
for "packet" mode and tune to a local packet BBS or
even a WINlink station. (see list posted yesterday)...
Then at your TNC's "cmd:" prompt, just enter
C XXXX where XXXX is the call of the BBS or other packet
system.  From then on, just follow the instructions it
gives b ack to you...  Its fun...

No software required.  Your are using packet radio to
simply connect your keyboard and display to a remote
system and then doing what ever that remote system
is designed to do.  Unlimited possibilities...

BTW, I am a new TM-D700A owner - I love it!
