TRIES [n] (n = 0 - 15)
The TRIES command will display and optionally set the number of attempts, which have
been made to re-send a packet which failed to reach its destination. For instance, if
RETRY is set to 10, TRIES will show how many attempts have already been made to
pass the data. For example, if TRIES were to show 8, “TRIES 3” would reset the
counter to make the TNC believe that it had only tried 3 times so far, thus allowing 7
more attempts before the RETRY limit is exceeded.

TUPTIME [n] (n = 0 – 255)
default 0
(n x 100 ms)
Sets the number of milli-seconds to hold a TUP frame for digipeating.
TXDELAY n (n = 0 - 255)
default 30
This command sets the transmitter key-up delay as 10*n ms. This setting establishes
the time delay between the application of push-to-talk and the start of packet data to the
transmitter. Flags (characters to begin packet) are sent during the delay. This command
needs to be set long enough to give your transmitter time to come to full power before
data is sent. If set too short the beginning of the packet will be chopped off and another
station will never be able to decode you. If set too long, additional flags at the beginning
(heard as a repetitive sound) waste airtime. It may be necessary to increase your
TXDELAY to allow the receiving station sufficient time to switch from transmit back to
receive to detect your signal.
TXFLOW {ON | OFF}
default OFF
This command allows the TNC to send software flow control (XON and XOFF) to stop
and restart the flow of data from the computer while in the Transparent Mode. When
TXFLOW is OFF, hardware flow control must be used between the computer and TNC.
