&a+960H(8U(s3t12vpsb10HHere are some of the abbreviations and terminology used
&a+600Hthroughout this manual.
&a+600HHOSTNAME is the tcp/ip name of a computer or packet system.
&a+600HINTERNET is a worldwide high speed computer network. It has thousands
&a+600Hof computers at schools, companies and amateur packet radio systems
&a+600Hconnected to it.
&a+600HMTU, or Maximum Transmission Unit, is the maximum data size in one
&a+600Hpacket. Most often the data referred to by MTU is the transported
&a+600Hdata, i.e. data frame in a network connection. With tcp/ip, the size
&a+600Hof the tcp/ip frame inside the ax.25 packet is the MTU; with net/rom,
&a+600Hthe size of the data inside the netrom packet is the MTU.
&a+600HNRS, or Net/Rom Serial protocol, is what TNCs with Net/Rom or TheNet
&a+600Heproms talk on the serial port.
&a+600HNODE, NODESHELL, MAILBOX are terms used interchangeably for the user
&a+600Hinterface when connected to the system.
&a+600HPACLEN, or packet length, is most often used to refer to data size in
&a+600Ha link packet. The data in an ax.25 packet can be up to paclen bytes.
&a+600HPORT or INTERFACE means the physical connection to a radio or other
&a+600Hsystem (i.e. radio port or serial interface). These two terms are
&a+600Hused interchangeably.
&a+600HRFCs, or Requests For Comment, are standard papers used on Internet to
&a+600Hdiscuss and propose new networking protocols and other related topics.
&a+600HRSPF, or Radio Shortest Path First, is a tcp/ip routing protocol
&a+600Hespecially targetted at radio environments.
&a+600HRTT, or Round Trip Time, indicates the time needed for data to be sent
&a+600Hand acknowledged.
&a+600HSLIP, or Serial Line IP, is a way to send IP frames over a serial port
&a+600Hwithout using ax.25 or ethernet to carry the data. You can use SLIP
&a+600Hto connect to PCs or Unix systems also running SLIP, and interchange
&a+600Htcp/ip data.

&a+960H(8U(s3t12vpsb10HThere are several command line options which can be exercised
&a+600Hwhen starting JNOS. These commands are used to set environment
&a+600Hvariables, select configuration and autoexec files, and other
&a+600Hfunctions. Options should be separated by tabs or spaces. If there
&a+600His an option argument, there should NOT be any whitespace between the
&a+600Hoption and the argument. The only option not preceded by '-' is the
&a+600Halternate startup file
&a+960H-b : Use direct video for the screen output.
&a+960H-c# : Set the number of COLUMNS on the screen to #.
&a+960H-drootdir : Set the root directory for the configuration file

&a+600H(8U(s3t12vpsb10HJNOS now has a (up to) 3-line status display which shows:
&a+600HOn the first line:
&a+600Htime, heap and core free memory, number of connections to the
&a+600Hdifferent servers. Then a list of active sessions, where sessions
&a+600Hwith data waiting are blinking.
&a+600HThe 2nd line shows:
&a+960Hthe users connected to the bbs. A status symbol in front means
&a+960Hone of the following:
&a+960H none - user is idle
&a+960H * - user is a bbs
&a+960H @ - user is in sysop mode
&a+960H ! - user has gatewayed out
&a+960H # - user is reading or sending mail
&a+960H = - user is transfering data (up/download)
&a+960H ^ - user is in convers or sysop-chat mode
&a+960H ? - use is in none of the above, but not idle...
&a+960H Eg: BBS: *w0rli johan #ka7ehk !n7ifj
&a+960H(lines 1 and 2 are the 'system' window)
&a+600HOn the 3rd line is data depending on the current session.
&a+960HAlways displayed are the current session number and type.
&a+960HIf the sessions are network connections, displayed are remote
&a+960Hconnection name, tx-queue (bytes for tcp, packets for ax.25),
&a+960Hand state of the connection. It then shows the retry timer, with
&a+960Hcurrent time left, and initial value.
&a+960HIn 'repeat', 'more' or 'look' sessions, the 3rd line show the
&a+960Hcommand, filename or user/socket for the session.
&a+960HThe command session 3rd line shows the current directory.
&a+960H(the 3rd line is the 'session' window)
&a+960HThe number of status lines displayed can be set with the '-z#'
&a+600Hcommands line option. '-z0' turns it off. Default is '-z3'
&a+600HNOTE: if tracing is enabled, this will 'bleed' through the status
&a+1104Hwindow.
&a+960HThis is NOT a bug, but is inherent to the way tracing works in
&a+960HJNOS. (It would take a major rewrite to fix.) The status window
&a+960Hwill be rebuilt about twice a second to overcome this.

&a+960H(8U(s3t12vpsb10HMany commands take subcommands, parameters, or both, which may in
&a+600Hturn be optional or required. In general, if a required subcommand or
&a+600Hparameter is omitted, an error message will summarize the available
&a+600Hsubcommands or required parameters. (Giving a '?' in place of the
&a+600Hsubcommand will also generate the message. This method is useful when
&a+600Hthe command word alone is a valid command.) If a command takes an
&a+600Hoptional value parameter, issuing the command without the parameter
&a+600Hgenerally displays the current value of the variable. (Exceptions to

&a+600HCRC. If the CRC is valid, the value or state of these variables will
&a+600Hbe maintained across power outages or warm restarts. This is only
&a+600Htrue if the variables are not re-set in the startup configuration.
&a+600HThese variables are marked with '(B)' at the beginning of their
&a+600Hcommand description. For example, if you set the tcp retries value to
&a+600H0, if will be still 0 after a power down or warm restart. If the
&a+600Hconference server was stopped, it will not be restarted after a power

&a+600Hread from the device during a single interrupt. This is useful for
&a+600Hmonitoring system interrupt latency margins as it shows how close
&a+600Hthe port hardware has come to overflowing due to the inability of the
&a+600HCPU to respond to a receiver interrupt in time. 8250 chips have no
&a+600HFIFO, so the high water mark cannot go higher than 2 before
&a+600Hoverruns occur. The 16550A chip, however, has a 16-byte receive FIFO
&a+600Hwhich the software programs to interrupt the CPU when the FIFO is
&a+600Hone-quarter full. The high water mark should typically be 4 or 5 when
&a+600Ha 16550A is used; higher values indicate that the CPU has at least
&a+600Honce been slow to respond to a receiver interrupt.
&a+960HWhen the 16550A is used, a count of FIFO timeouts is also
&a+600Hdisplayed on the RX status line. These are generated automatically
&a+600Hby the 16550A when three character intervals go by with more than 0
&a+600Hbut less than 4 characters in the FIFO. Since the characters that
&a+600Hmake up a SLIP or NRS frame are normally sent at full line speed, this
&a+600Hcount will usually be a lower bound on the number of frames received
&a+600Hon the port, as only the last fragment of a frame generally results
&a+600Hin a timeout (and then only when the frame is not a multiple of 4
&a+600Hbytes long.)
&a+960HFinally, the software fifo overruns and high water mark are
&a+600Hdisplayed. These indicate whether the <bufsize> parameter on the
&a+600Hattach command needs to be adjusted (see the Attach Commands
&a+600Hchapter).
&a+600HThe third line shows transmit (TX) statistics, including a total
&a+600Hcount of transmit interrupts, transmitted characters, the length of
&a+600Hthe transmit queue in bytes, the number of status interrupts, and
&a+600Hthe number of THRE timeouts. The status interrupt count will be zero
&a+600Hunless CTS flow control or RLSD line control has been enabled.

&a+960Hare never sent in RIP packets). If flags is 2, the broadcast
&a+960Hwill also advertise a route to the system itself. Flags are
&a+960Haccumalative, ie a value of 3 will mean both "split horizon" and
&a+960H"me too". See also the '(8U(s3t12vpsb10H(s3Broute(s0B(8U(s3t12vpsb10H' command.

&a+960HNote that for RIP packets to be sent properly to a broadcast
&a+960Haddress, there must exist correct IP routing and ARP table

&a+960Hinterface and then place the correct link-level broadcast address

&a+960H(8U(s3t12vpsb10HThe rewrite file is placed in the 'spool' subdirectory. If you
&a+600Hdon't feel comfortablewith the rewrite mechanism, please refer to or
&a+600Hread the 'mailbox.txt' distributed with this document. That document,
&a+600Hwritten by NQ0I and SM0RGV, explains the bbs well. Credit goes to
&a+600Hthose gentlemen.
&a+960HThe following is by no means the best or only way to configure
&a+600Hyour system's rewrite mechanism. It is simply the way I run it, and is
&a+600Hshown as an example only. My system tends to not take a lot of
&a+600Hbulletins, to keep the load down (most are old anyway), but you might
&a+600Hdecide to do things differently.
&a+960HNow to the way WG7J 'runs mail'. First thing I is catch all
&a+600HInternet style (ie. SMTP targeted) mail, and make sure that those
&a+600Hmessages go as is. Lines 1-4 take care of this by catching most of
&a+600Hthe top-level Internet domain names.
&a+600H *@*.edu $1@$2.edu
&a+600H *@*.com $1@$2.com
&a+600H *@*.gov $1@$2.gov
&a+600H *@*.org $1@$2.org
&a+960HNext is an example of catching some things you don't want; here
&a+600Hin Oregon some-one pumps in daily astronomical stuff. By the time it
&a+600Hgets to my system it's way old :-( By rewriting it to 'refuse', the
&a+600Hbbs will send a 'NO' as if it already has receive it. Same for some
&a+600Hother things the wormhole bbs's are trying to forward to me.

&a+600H sysop@wg7j* wg7j
&a+960HNext I send everything else that comes in for sysops to the

&a+1104HOtherwise something like 'amsat@allusa' will end up in the

&a+960HNext I will catch anything destined for my bbs that hasn't been

&a+600Hcheck the 'check' area and adjust '/spool/rewrite' accordingly and
&a+600Happend that mail to the right mailbox file so it goes out. 'check' is
&a+600Hactually an alias, that sends a copy of the message to both the
