Please send me your BBS address and Internet Address!!!
Please check the .NPA files for your local area against your phone book,
there are changes all the time. Please let me know the new ones!
September 15 1993 Version 3.4
All applicaions now list Application name @ Address in prompt and each
prompt includes a Bye command to disconnect. INFO and SHEARD of a 3.4
switch will automatically disconnect the user after delivering the
data if the user's switch is also 3.4 (or later). Applications will
accept connects under any ssid (ie USERS-1 or USERS-15, etc) this will
allow connecting to more than one switch to watch activity. Timers now
operate on a 0.1 Sec increment and Level 3 links timers optimized to reduce
number of RR frames.
*** L2FRACK, L2RESP, L3FRACK and L3RESP now are measured in ***
*** MILLISECONDS NOT SECONDS *** UPDATE YOUR .PAR FILES!!! ***

--------------------------------------
Future Releases:
Version 3.?
Support for Packet Fragmentation. In earlier versions all links ran
with a packet size of 256 and if a packet was ever broken up (on an HF
link for example - 32 Bytes) it would not be re-assembled. This version
will support this re-assembly.
Version 3.?
Support for reception of large frames (2K). They will be fragmented and
sent through the network and re-sent as a single frame upon exitting
the network.
Other items that will be worked upon in between these include:
Configuration of L2 and L3 params on a Link by Link basis
DOS Device Driver - Progressing well as of 7/13/92
Data Engine
Support for Tiny-2 Plus and Expanded Memory Board
----------------------------------------------
12 April 1993 Version 3.3
Completed updates to include neighbor switch address in USERS display,
also reformatted USERS display to present information clearer. Fixed a
bug in the 4 digit addresses are handled, they used to not work since
they looked like a DNIC. Now the DNIC is the default DNIC (same as
entry switch) when there is only 1 digi field of numbers and if there
are two digi fields of numbers then the DNIC must be provided. This is
for future expansion and allows for addresses up to 14 digits long.
3 March 1993 Version 3.2
The LIDLIST now checks for all ssid's (Do not specify one when configuring).
The Switch callsign used for outbound connect requests will be the Digi Call
when the connection is in reliable mode. (For IP Users) There was a case where
the address on a Call Clearing would be incorrect if the call had been
completed, it is now fixed. I have also added structures to include the
Addresses of neighboring switches so that later USERS can be updated to
display this information, usefull for Switch Hopping.
11 September 1992 Version 3.1
Had a major bug with eating memory in 3.0 took a while to fix, the answer
was that the switch would drop about 60-70 bytes each time there was a
"routing loop" detected, which in a well configured site will happen often
if one of the main links is Out of Order.
30 July 1992 Version 3.0
Minor bug fix to clearing cause/address. TCP/IP support is tested and works!
MAKEPROM.EXE now supports BANNER text - a single line of up to 60 char that
follows the "ROSE X.25 Packet Switch..., W2VY". Also now supports single depth
INCLUDE files. Command Prompt (INCLUDE file) or command line /INCLUDE=file.
I have also included sample files for various radios, speeds for user and
point to point links.
The .CNF files have changed the word NODE to SWITCH in all instances.
(node is still supported, but will be phased out.)
11 July 1992 Version 3.0 Beta
Full Support for Protocol ID's (PIDs) Other than F0 (User Data) - This means
that TCP/IP and any other Protocol will be transported by ROSE Switches.
Alpha testing will be in June and it should be released in July 1992.
Also added support for a LID list, and a way to redirect a call@address to
any other call@address. These items have not been tested completely and
are not yet supported in CONFIGUR.EXE
1 May 1992 Version 2.9
Added new parameter to clear packets, the switch can now indicate where a
clear originated. This means if you are told 0D00 you will also know Which
Switch has the problem! The required many updated to the handling of call
setup and clearing, so the information could be relayed back. It will only
be displayed to the user when INFO.LOD is loaded. Also pass Q, D and M bits
correctly. And found a bug is the passing of Call User Data.
30 Mar 92
Moved, Son was born, bought new computer,...
Updated Applications to not respond to CR and to send all data when you
first connect to them (Like INFO). To keep various people happy am calling
this version Version#2.8, many things will still be based upon the date.
The file names will be changing to have the version number instead of date!
The idea is to be able to say that we will have PID (aka TCP/IP) support in
version 3.0
Also now support updating TXDelay from CONFIG!
:020E000000 Read the value and
:010E0100ttcc TT is TXDelay value (HEX 10ths of milliseconds), CC is checksum
28D8 is default if you increase TT by 1 decrease CC by 1
(28h = 40 is 400 ms)
Also removed MHEARD.LOD and modified SHEARD.LOD to only allow one Heard List
per connection. (Single-HEARD).
