ROSE Switch = No POOP The ROSE X.25 Packet Switch does not to have seperate ID Beacons, nor does it need to go key down for hours (so it seems) Broadcasting network routing information, the ROSE Switch does NOT speak unless spoken TO! You do not have to guess what station a transmission came from, since the call sign of the switch appears in every transmission. You do not have to poke your way through the network, paging through obscure node names to try to get to the town you want to reach, nor do you need reams of network maps, your phone book will do. The ROSE X.25 Packet Switch is the most advanced network level package for the TNC-2 (and Clones) with support for the PacComm DR-200 Dual port, and soon 4 port operation. The ROSE Switch also supports asynchronous packet on the RS-232 port of most TNCs, which can either be used over the air or tied back-to-back with other ROSE Switches.
