- The CD ROM callbook server at WA8BXN is now permanently going to be here
- thanks to the offers of support that have been received from various
- clubs and individuals. Contributions may be sent to WA8BXN (name & adr
- good on the server - try it out!) Here is how to use it:
- Method 1: Send a message using SP REQQTH @ WA8BXN then for the title
- put the calls you want looked up. Depending on their length, 4 or 5
- will fit in the title (total 39 characters). Put a space between the
- calls. A msg will be sent back to you on the BBS you submitted your
- request on. Typically the response should be back in about 2 hours.
- Method 2: Connect to your nearest netrom compatible node. Then type
- C BXNBB2 This will connect you to the bbs that has the drive connected
- to it. Use the command PC callsign (example: PC WA8BXN). It takes about
- 15 to 20 seconds to do the lookup and then you should receive the
- response.
- The callbook server should be up most of the time except when the system
- is down for maintenance (in which case you won't be able to connect to
- BXNBB2). At such times use methods 1 and your request will be saved and
- handled as soon as the system is back up. Currently the server has only
- US calls on it. Should DX calls become available (Buckmaster currently
- does not have them) they probably will be added to the server. Please
- report any problems you encounter by sending me a msg (WA8BXN @ WA8BXN).
- Enjoy! 73 - Mike
