Outpost Notes:

IMPLEMENTATION
SID = [KAME-7.1-HM$]
SID = [KAM-XL-1.0-HM$]
SID = [KAMP-8.0-HM$]
SID = [KAM98-8.3-HM$]
The KAM PBBSs behave identically to the KPC3 series PBBS.  Outpost looks for the "[KAM" phrase of the SID as the means for identifying these TNCs.  Once identified, Outpost processes them the same way as the KPC3 PBBSs.
  

The KAM PBBS Prompts are fixed, and Outpost defaults to "Help >".   The message format is the same as the KPC3 series.

CONFIRMATION
Assumed operational as of the v2.2 release.  No reported problems with these KAMs.  See the KAM-4 listing for additional details. 

CONSIDERATIONS
none
 

BBS Notes:
