Packet
This command selects the ASCII character used for the pass input editing command. You may use
this character to send any character in a packet in Converse Mode, even though that character
may have a special function. For example, if you wish to send a COMMAND character (Ctrl-C) as
part of the packet, you can do so by preceding it with the PASS character. The character will be
sent rather than returning the TNC to Command Mode. In Transparent Mode, all characters are
passed, there are no special functions except the one combination to get out of transparent.

When OFF, packets will only be displayed if the CRC (error checking) is correct and according to
monitor commands. When this command is ON, the TNC will accept packets, regardless of
whether or not the CRC is correct. The TNC will attempt to decode the address field as well as the
data field and display the packets as specified by other commands such as MONITOR. The entire
packet, determined by the beginning and ending flags, must be received before an attempt is
made to decode. If both flags are not received the data will not be decoded. MHEARD and
NDHEARD logging are disabled when PASSALL is ON.

PBBS
Setting n greater than 0 allocates memory and activates the Personal Mailbox in the TNC. The
amount of memory allocated will be n kilobytes and may be limited by other functions requiring
dynamic memory (i.e. NUMNODES, MAXUSERS and also the
KAM
NAVSTA). Changing the size of
the PBBS memory allocation will not affect the contents of the mailbox (messages will be pre-
served) so long as sufficient memory remains allocated to store the existing massages. Using the
PBBS command with n equal to the current size will renumber the messages in the mailbox begin-
ning with message number 1. If n is a different size, the messages will not be renumbered. This
command causes a soft reset if n is different from its previous value. Turning off the TNC will de-
stroy all messages in the mailbox, unless you are using the optional Battery Backup or Smart-
Watch.
