MFJ-1278 Software
Andrew Lynch
Is there any software available to use the advanced modes in the MFJ-1278
TNC? I have heard MFJ has a "multicom" software. Is it any good? Comments
here indicate probably not, but I'd like more info on what and why. Thanks

waste your money on old obsolite software .I don't know when it was
written but it sure is outdated and hard to use.The stupid copy
protection setup allows you to install it only twice,it has an uninstall
program that will let you uninstall it and then reinstall however it
isn't worth the effort to install once,you get the picture.
The instructions are a hodgepodge of seperate sheets ,the program is also
the same,not 1 smooth operating system but a patchwork of seperate ones.
The only saving grace for MFJ is a program written by KF7XP Gary Johnson.
XPCOM is a top notch piece of software and it's like Prego sauce,"It's
all in there". from logging to rig control. don't take my word for it
give it a try at.

How about something for the graphical modes such as SSTV, WEFAX, etc.?

Stay away form the MFJ software. Highly recommend LanLink, available on
numerous BBSs and the Internet. Supports all MFJ1278 modes.

with staying away from the Multicom software. It is not very good especially
in regards to SSTV and WeFax. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any
other software available that supports these two modes for the MFJ. Someone
please correct me if I'm wrong (and tell me where I can get it).

Last I checked Lanlink (a good while back) it did not do the 1278 fax
and SSTV modes. Do you mean the current version will now handle fax
and SSTV? If it does, I need to revisit it! I found that the MFJ
"Multicom" software leaves much to be desired. The modem isn't bad
though.

Gee Bob. If your going to author shareware and ask a $25 registration
fee you ought to accept e-mail at your Compuserve account clearly
marked Skyrider. Do you have another e-mail account you would prefer?

Bob, is it in the plans to include SSTV/WEFAX in a near future
version of SkyRider???
With that, you'd be giving MFJ a lot of competition..

FAX, so I don't have any plans right now to add those modes.
If anyone out there has detailed info regarding the many types
of sstv, I'd give sstv a try. Need to know how the color is
encoded in the different modes, etc etc.
