This command causes the TALON to allocate the memory required for the maximum
number of simultaneous connections you wish to allow. Each connection uses a different
stream. In order to direct what you want to say to a different stream you use the
STREAMSW character. All streams may be used for outgoing packets, but USERS sets
the number that may be used for incoming connections. Changing the value of
MAXUSERS will cause the TALON to perform a “soft reset”. Note that you may not
change the value of MAXUSERS while you are connected, since this would reset the
TALON and cause all existing connections to be lost.
Note: Although you must spell out the entire command word (MAXUSERS) to change
the current value of MAXUSERS, you can enter the short form, MAXU, if you just want
to see the current value of MAXUSERS.

MCOM {ON | OFF}
default OFF
Supervisory (control) packets are not monitored unless MCOM is set ON and MON is
ON. In addition if your station is connected, control packets are not monitored unless
MCON is also ON. Control packets, when displayed, are distinguished from information
packets by the “<>” and “<<>>” character sets appended to the packet header. With these
characters, a letter is included to denote the type of control packet received, e.g. <<c>> -
a connect request packet. The types of control packets are listed below.
<C>
Connect request
<D>
Disconnect request
<DM>
Disconnected Mode
<UA>
Unnumbered Acknowledge
In addition, the following bracketed information will be added to the Information packets
as appropriate:
