    Ok Hans-Peter. Once before I tested with an old TNC2C and a kiss
    eprom, where the kissattach, listen and so on worked. Later for my'
    HF-BBS the PTC-II came in, but even if its work excellent it cannot
    be used for what I want to do now.

    Of course I can install an SCC card I have or the mentioned TNC2C
    again.

    Yes I will, and tnx for the advise.
