- This ZIPfile contains a minimal KA9Q NOS setup for the HP95LX. Be sure to
- unZIP the file with the -d switch to create the subdirectories needed for
- NOS to run. The supplied AUTOEXEC.NET is the file I used to check out the
- program; it assumes that the machine is talking to the regular Internet
- through another machine set up as a router and doing SLIP at 4800 baud.
- The program won't run faster than that due to interrupt latency in NOS.
- You must change appropriate places in AUTOEXEC.NET to set the machine
- address and domain name correctly, at a minimum. If you're doing packet
- radio, you'll also need to add whatever routing is necessary for your
- local network and change the attach command to use ax25. I assume you know
- how to do that much; if not, please get with a local guru about how to get
- it going. (If you _are_ the local guru, then you already know where to get
- help..) The supplied FTPUSERS file has only an anonymous login entry; you
- must add an entry for yourself if you use the BBS as a mailer.
-
- Also included are the two files I modified in the NOS source to build the
- included executable. 8250.C had two lines added in asytxint to deal with a
- peculiarity of the 95's serial port, and CONFIG.H was changed to set the
- screen length at 16 lines and remove useless (for the 95) options. The two
- files will drop right in to a stock KA9Q 910618 source distribution and
- compile with no further changes needed.
-
- Once the files and directories are set up on your 95, use the supplied
- NETSTART.BAT file to fire up NOS. It turns on the serial port before
- starting, and turns it off again when finished. This should help extend
- the 95's battery life.
-
- Good luck with it; I hope you enjoy your 95 as much as I enjoy mine.
