packet text displayed below it on the next line(s). When receiving connected packets, no header is
displayed if MONITOR or MCON is OFF. See also: cstamp, meon, monitor, mstamp

will not forward messages if PBPERSON is OFF and the HTEXT is empty. To clear your HTEXT, en-
ter a single % character (HTEXT %). See the PBBS section for more information.

  
INtface NEWUSER|TERM|BBS|KISS|HOST|XKISS {NEWUSER}
When set to NEWUSER, a basic set of about 25 commands is available to simplify operation. When
set to TERM, the full command set of the KPC-9612 is available (over 140 commands). Setting this
command to BBS will prevent certain messages from being sent to the terminal (
***connect
request
,
***FRMR
, etc). This is provided for those running a full-service BBS to prevent these
messages from appearing in received text. Setting this command to KISS will enable the KISS code
as specified by Phil Karn (KA9Q) for use with TCP/IP or other KISS programs in your computer.
Setting this command to HOST will enable the Kantronics Host Mode for use with special programs
such as Host Master. When set to XKISS, the Extended KISS protocol as defined by G8BPQ is im-
plemented.
