Dear YL/OM, Thanks for your interest in the ROSE X.25 Packet Switch and/or ROSErver PRMBS. The Radio Amateur Telecommunications Society (RATS) is dedicated to the development of software and networks which are based on the internationally recognized Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model. OSI as it is called provides a communications environment which allows many different computers and systems to exchange data using common "languages" or protocols. These protocols have been developed by ISO and CCITT for a variety of networking environments including packet radio. We have taken these protocols and produced the software provided to you in this release. We hope that you enjoy the software and help support our efforts by sending us a contribution. This provides us with the ability to expand and improve our test network here in the northeast U.S. If you would also like to join RATS please read the RATSMBR.TXT file supplied with this archive. If you have any questions or comments please call or write to any of the following addresses: Telephone: 01-201-387-8896 Nancy, N2FWI and Gordon Beattie, N2DSY Packet: w2vy@kd6th.nj.usa.org.iso n2dsy@kd6th.nj.usa.org.iso uucp: ...!att!hotps!n2dsy-4!n2dsy Address: The Radio Amateur Telecommunications Society 206 North Vivyen Street Bergenfield, New Jersey 07621 United States of America
