"MINI INSTRUCTIONS and CAVEATS!"

The TNC DOOR uses a PACKET RADIO terminal-node-controller (TNC) to
control amateur radio transmitting equipment. Using such equipment
requires a FEDERAL amateur radio license of the appropriate class.

Neither Vince Quaresima nor K2NE SOFTWARE, or the legal heirs,
assigns or designees of either of them assumes any liability
whatsoever for any use or misuse of the TNC DOOR.

If you do not have a valid amateur radio license then DO NOT USE
THIS SOFTWARE.

If you are a BBS sysop, then you are very welcome to circulate this
software among your friends and system users. And I thank you in
advance for doing this.

This software is made available strictly on an "as is" basis. Absolutely
NO warranty is implied or stated. Specifically, there is no warranty
of merchantability and there is no warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose.

If you receive the software directly from Vince Quaresima or K2NE Software
on floppy disk, and if the floppy disk will not run on your machine because
of a defect in the disk, then a replacement will be provided at no cost
to you.
