ARES/Data Conference Bridge Help CONFBRGE.HLP
With the conference bridge feature, you can send messages to other
connected stations or to the sysop. There are just 2 commands:
"users" and "tell"
Users command:
The users command, in the form "users<cr>" or "u<cr>", returns a
list of the callsigns of currently logged-on packet stations.
Example: u<cr>
Response:
Users at WN6I-1 (AX0): N6KL W6BB-3 W6XYZ WB6MRQ-7
Users at WN6I-4 (DR0): 0:N6KL-3 1:N5BZK 3:AA4RE-12
Note that there is one line for each port defined in the ARES/Data
system, so that you can see who is using which port. After the
database callsign, the port name defined by the sysop during startup
is shown in parentheses. If you see a callsign prefixed by "n:", this
refers to a DRSI subport number. See the USERMAN.DOC file for more
detail.
Tell command:
The Tell command sends a "one-liner" message to other connected
user or users.
Syntax: tell callsign message<cr> or:
or:
t callsign message<cr>
Example: t w6bb-3 The food truck just arrived at SJ12<cr>
The message "The food truck just arrived at SJ12" is sent to the
connected station W6BB-3. If your call is W6XYZ, then W6BB-3
sees:
1230 W6XYZ> The food truck just arrived at SJ12
It is not necessary to enter the entire callsign - just the suffix or
some other substring will do. If several connected callsigns contain the
substring, each station will get the message. The special callsign
"*" or "all" is used to send a message to all connected stations. The
special callsign "sysop" sends the message to the sysop at the ARES/Data
database station.
