. . . and sends all subsequent data in the broadcast format appropriate
to the selected port’s operating mode. The data characters are held
until the user sends a (RETURN), whereupon the held data is broadcast.
In all operating modes, the user can stop sending “unproto” by
sending the “=” character—the Gateway will then issue a command
prompt. The “=” character shouldn’t be used within the user’s
broadcast text.
Cross-port gateway:
The requirements for cross-port Gateway connection are, in addition to the above:
• OPMODE must be PACKET, AMTOR, or PACTOR.
• If AMTOR is to be used, MYSELCAL must be set.
• If PACTOR is to be used, MYPTCALL must be set.
• If AMTOR or PACTOR are to be used, the receiver’s volume and the DCD
threshold control must be set so that the DCD display is lit if—and only if—
signals are present.
• RADIO must be set to RADIO 1/2 (both ports enabled).
• Modems—using the MODEM command—supporting the appropriate OPMODE on
Port 1 and packet on Port 2 must be selected.
• XGATEWAY must be ON.

*** CONNECTED to N7ML-7
+++ N7ML Gateway. Other port (2) is 1200 bps Packet. Type ? for
help.
+++ You are on Port 1, 1200 bps Packet. Your ID is KB7B-15.

Note that there is extra information showing which radio port the user is on and the
configuration of the other radio port. The Help menu shows an additional command:
P(ort) 1/2 Access Port 1 or 2
P(ort) Changes the port on which the user wants to connect, listen or
broadcast. At the time the packet user connects to the gateway, access
is always on the same radio port so a Port 2 packet user must select
