Hi Jim,

While I haven't used AGW Packet Engine with STRaND-1, I have done this
with other 9600 birds.  It *should* work just fine.

First, get AGW Packet Engine to work.  Reminder--we cannot use our
microphone jack, external speaker, or 1200 baud stuff.  Has to be 9600
packet compatible rig connection of course..and many sound card
interfaces will NOT work, as they filter out the good stuff :)

Then, use AGW Online KISS (instead of Online KISS+).

Then, feed the KSS files captured from above to KISS Dump+ (link below).

Read here...scroll til you find AGW Online KISS.
