AA4RE BBS and the G8BPQ Switch.
Note!!!!!! BPQ Versions 4.xx dropped support for the AA4RE system.
From version 3.23, the switch supports the AA4RE BBS. This has been
done by extending the PK232 host mode support, originally written to
support the G8UFQ BBS. The system allows the first Virtual TNC port to
support up to 8 users. The configuration I used is detailed below:
In BPQCFG.TXT:
TYPE=PK232/AA4RE
APPLFLAGS=6
In PARMS.BB, the recommended port settings are below
port_type = G8BPQ_NODE
com = 2 ; use the first number in TNCPORTLIST
speed = 4800 ; not actually used
max_connect = 8 ; Up to 8
max_channel = 9
max_pending = 1
broadcast_path = MAIL ; is ignored - set in config.txt file
In PATHS.BB
PATH GB7DAD A GB7DAD FORCE
T 0000 2300
C SWITCH ; note initial C SWITCH
SC LRG7
R* to *
SC G4NAD-1
R* to *
Note that the remaining Virtual TNCs continue to run as normal. If you
are running under Desqview, you can still run PAC2 (or even MBL/RLI!) in
other windows. However, BB needs a LOT of store - you need to use all
the tricks described in the DV manual to get a big enough window to run
it effectively.
