You cannot prevent host.hlp (part of the login banner) from being sent to a connecting station. The fact that host.hlp always gets sent shouldn't affect any forwarding BBS assuming that you dont have the ">" character appearing in the text of the host.hlp file. The login banner can be as big as you like, the forwarding BBS should ignore it all until it sees ">" followed by a carriage return. If FBB cannot cope with this, it has a problem!

He made some PvdP> promises about an SCC driver, which is at the top of my PvdP> PMNOS wish list, hi. I don't recall Walt committing himself to do an SCC driver. You may be confused, since I said that an OS/2 SCC driver is a high priority for me also, and I have worked on it on and off. I was originally going to use the Linux SCC driver for a model, but that proved less then helpful. There are two broadly different approaches possible. One way of doing the SCC driver is as a formal NDIS-MAC driver, so that it would be accessible to standard TCP/IP implementations such as IBM's $150 special. The other approach would be to buffer the I/O through a virtual device driver so as to eliminate the hardware timing dependencies involved in running standard (not PM) NOS in a DOS window. Using the VDD approach has one big advantage in that it would allow any DOS software that uses an SCC to work under OS/2, including G8BPQ. (Making G8BPQ operate with OS/2 native interprocess communication is another project of mine.) I actually have regular N1BEE NOS running on my DRSI system in a DOS window, and receiving works fairly well. The big problem has proved to be transmitting, since the 8530 will send flags and trash the outgoing frame if it is not kept well fed. -- Mike ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Feb 94 09:10:43 mdt From: ka7oei@uugate.wa7slg.ampr.org Subject: Replacing 8250's with 16550's: To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu Gordon, k7hfv, offered the following suggestion: *** Quote mode on *** On 16550's vs 8250's, the only pins that differ appear to be 24 and 29. On the 16550 they are the DMA control pins, TXRDY*, and RXRDY*, respectively. They are both outputs, so all you probably have to do is make sure they aren't connected to anything. On the 8250, 24 is chip-select-out which was not used in the original PC implementation, and I'm not just sure why anyone would ever use it. If a board does, though, you might be in trouble. Pin 29 on the 8250 was a no-connect. Creative board layer-outers might have used it for a via, though. Good luck, Gordon *** Quote mode off *** I have done so and it has functioned perfectly in an 8250 (XT-based) board for several weeks now. Basically, one just needs to bend pins 24 and 29 so they don't make contact with the socket. Again, you would want to drop a 16550 in, in place of the original 8250 if you are running NOS with a serial port faster than 4800 or 9600 baud to prevent dropping characters... Most versions of NOS will automatically recognize the 16550 and enables its FIFOs. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Feb 94 04:30:05 PST From: Advanced Amateur Radio Networking Group Subject: TCP-Group Digest V94 #38 To: tcp-group-digest@UCSD.EDU TCP-Group Digest Thu, 10 Feb 94 Volume 94 : Issue 38 Today's Topics: A question about UUCP Silent Key -- Andy Freeborn, N0CCZ TCP-Group Digest V94 #37 Send Replies or notes for publication to: .

I am trying to set up a UUCP connection. I have put the entry into the Systems file. when I use the "cu -d hostname" command the modem does dial and I get a connection. The problem is that the Login script does not seem to be executed. When I type the script data in manually it works fine. Does anyone have any ideas.

Any mistakes are probably my typos. Many folks have called John WD0FHG and me asking for more information, this is what we know: "Col. Andrew Warren Freeborn, 71, a career Air Force officer, died Feb 5, 1994, at a Colorado Springs hospice. The funeral will be held at 9am Friday at First Lutheran Church, 1515 N. Cascade Ave., with the Rev. Paul Peel officiating. Burial will be at Fort Logan National Cemetary, Denver. Friends may call from 3 to 9pm Thursday at Swan-Law Funeral Home, 501 N. Cascade Ave. Col. Freeborn was born June 17, 1922, in McVille, ND, to Herbert Boyd and Rose Elizabeth (Lane) Freeborn. He was married July 3, 1944, in Pocatello, Idaho, to Verena M. Keller, who survives. He also is survived by two sons, Michael Arlington of Heights, Ill, and Chris of Denver; a sister, Gloria Fridrich of Lompoc, CA; and five grandchildren. He had a brother, Herbert, who is deceased. Col. Freeborn had lived in Colorado Springs since 1964 and was a member of East Colorado Springs Rotary, past president of Tucson Amateur Packet Radio, host of the 347th Fighter Squadron reunion in 1993, a contributor to the Microsat Project, and an active member of First Lutheran Church. He served in the Air Force from 1943 to 1972 and was a prisoner of war. He received the Legion of Merit, and the Purple Heart. Memorial contributions may be made to First Lutheran Church Memorial Fund, 1515 N. Cascade Ave., or the to the American Cancer Society, 1445 N. Union Blvd., B100, Colorado Springs, CO, 80909." I'd like to add just a bit. N0CCZ was the first non-hotel-employee I talked to on 22 June 1986 when I arrived in Colorado Springs to work for HP. Like any fanatic, I set up the packet gear before unpacking the rest of the car, and found N0CCZ-1, a digipeater on Pikes Peak. Andy saw my AX.25 connect, and hit me right back when I disconnected from the digi. What began that afternoon was a friendship and working relationship that included our having the first-ever TCP/IP connection using KISS TNC's later that year (using code for the TNC-2 that K3MC was writing and I was helping debug with the logic analyzer in my back bedroom). Andy introduced me to John Conner, WD0FHG, with whom I have worked, and continue to work, on many things radio related and not. Andy was single-handedly responsible for convincing me to go to my first TAPR annual meeting, talking me into running for the board, and twisting my arm to serve as Vice President during part of his tenure as President. He did all the hard work organizing the ARRL Digital Conference we held here in Colorado Springs a few years back. His organizational skills made a huge difference to TAPR at Dayton, where he was infamous for his early-morning wake-up calls to folks who were scheduled to work the booth, insisting we join him for the breakfast buffet first. And he was a mover and shaker locally, involved with the Pikes Peak FM Association, of which I am now chairman, superbly managing the membership records and being instrumental in motivating this voice repeater association to become involved in packet. Andy's leadership at TAPR is a significant part of why the organization still exists. He took over during a period of transition, and as Phil Karn KA9Q has pointed out, his even temper and committment to the hobby helped to keep many board meetings that might otherwise have been boxing matches under control and productive. Whether it was virtual circuits versus datagrams, the NET/ROM controversy, or what to do when the 9600 baud and DSP projects got bogged down, Phil is right in saying that Andy never let us forget that this was all supposed to be a hobby, something that's all too easy to forget. Andy was one of the finest individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing. He touched the lives of many of us in this hobby. We're going to miss him, a lot. 73 - Bdale, N3EUA ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Feb 94 04:30:05 PST From: Advanced Amateur Radio Networking Group Subject: TCP-Group Digest V94 #37 To: tcp-group-digest@UCSD.EDU TCP-Group Digest Wed, 9 Feb 94 Volume 94 : Issue 37 Today's Topics: SNMP and NOS Weather Fax Operations Send Replies or notes for publication to: .
