- The connect command has several modes:
-
- C nodename
- C port call
-
- C[onnect] nodename
- to connect to the netrom node named 'nodename'
-
- C[onnect] <port> <callsign> [via] [<digipeater> . . .]
- to connect to station 'callsign' on interface 'port',
- possibly via digipeaters 'digipeater...' (note the optional 'via'!)
- For a list of valid port names, try 'PORTS'.
- :conference
- CONFerence # Conference bridge entry (optional initial channel number #)
- CONF[erence]
-
- The CONFerence puts you in the conference bridge; this is a roundtable
- discussion feature.
- :help:?
- Help [subj] Help - get help on a subject
- :info
- Info Information on this system
- :jheard
- Jheard Just heard, on all ports
- :jheard
- Jheard port Just heard on 'port'
- J[heard] [<interface>]
-
- The jheard command will display a list of all the station callsigns
- that have been received as sending packet traffic on the channel,
- the time since the station was heard last, and the total number of
- packets received. When the command is used alone (no interface
- specified), the "heard" lists for all interfaces will be displayed.
- To display a list of stations heard on only a particular channel,
- specify the "<interface>" name along with the "jheard" command.
-
- Warning: if this system has been on the air for very long, and the
- channels are very active, this list could be extremely long.
-
- Examples:
-
- j 2m
- jheard
- :nodes
- Nodes List all netrom known nodes
- N[odes]
-
- The Nodes command prints out a list of all netrom nodes that
- the system knows.
- :nroutes
- NRoutes List all netrom neighbor routes
- NR[outes]
-
- The NRoutes command prints out a list of all of the netrom neighbor
- nodes known to this system.
- :pbbs
- Pbbs Connect to the corresponding PBBS
- P[bbs]
-
- The Pbbs command connects you to the PBBS that the operator of this
- system has selected. This (in most cases) will be the PBBS of this
- same TNOS system, but could be an FBB (or other PBBS), if the SYSOP
- so chooses.
- :ports
- POrts Give a list of the ports of the system
-
- The Ports command prints a list of interfaces (ports) that
- are installed in this system, along with a description, if one has
- been setup for that port. These ports can be used to make
- outgoing AX.25 connections with the "C[onnect]" command.
- :talk
- Talk Chat with operator (if system is attended)
-
- The Talk command allows you to "talk" keyboard-to-keyboard
- with the operator of this TNOS system, if the system is attended.
-
- When you wish to terminate the chat session, type the escape
- character on your keyboard, and then press <ENTER> or <RETURN>.
- The default escape character is "CTRL-T", which means to hold
- down the <CTRL> key and press the <T> key simultaneously.
- :telnet
- Telnet host Telnet to 'host' (if permitted)
- T[elnet] <hostname> [<port_number>]
-
- The telnet command allows you to initiate a TCP connection from the
- TNOS Node out across the network to another host. This allows an
- AX.25 user with nothing more than a terminal and TNC to gain access
- to the TCP/IP network.
-
- By including the optional port_number, you can connect to any TCP
- server at the given host. The default is to be connected to the
- "telnet" server, which in the case of TNOS software, is the PBBS.
-
- To quit the session at any time, enter the escape character (<CTRL>T
- by default.
- :quit:bye
- Quit Quit, same as 'bye' (ie. disconnect)
-
- The Bye (or Quit) command is used when you want to exit from
- the TNOS Node.
- :users
- Users Shows current mailbox users
- The U command will display a list of all the current users,
- how they connected, and their current activity.
