Subject: ftp mail server source for ax.25 for LINUX operating system?
To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
Hello All:
I am looking for a ftp mail server which might have the ax.25 source code
and/or executables for the Linux clone for unix. I am working on getting a
public access linux station available for the chicagoland area, and the ax.25
protocol for linux would be very handy. I know it exists, but my only internet
access is through a service which does not yet provide ftp. If any of you
reading this happends to have the code, but not know of such a ftp mail site, I
would appreciate Email, so we can work out how I re-imberse you for a copy!!!
Thanks, and best 73

I am interested in building a low power, low frequency

Is there a good source of information on constructing such a
device?
Any and all help is appreciated.

You can try telnetting into 44.16.0.61. That's the JPL Internet link in
Pasadena. They might still have the direct conference link which is a
3600 port number, so just add 3600 at the end of the telnet address. As
far as I know, there is no password required. Good luck.

Hello,
I am looking for an ibm xt version of ka9q nos. I have ftped
the ucsd.edu directory /hamradio/packet/tcpip and downloaded the file
FAQ-1292 and it has alot of good info but not alot on the NOS files in
that directory. Does anyone have a discription of the files in
/hamradio/packet/tcpip?
In addition, there is a nos.exe file in that directory. Is that
compiled for an xt?
Finally, can anyone point me to systems other than ucsd.edu
that contain tcpip code and info.
Thanks in advance!

TAPR Special Interest Groups
============================
At its March board meeting, TAPR created three Special Interest
Groups (SIG) to help exchange information among packet radio
users. These are devoted to BBS issues (BBS SIG), to information
about building, maintaining, and extending packet radio networks
(NET SIG), and to FCC Regulatory Issues (FCC SIG). All amateurs,
TAPR members or not, are welcome to all SIG meetings. The SIG
meetings will occur at the Radisson Inn, in the Premier Room
Saturday and Sunday evenings.
TAPR National BBS SIG Meeting
-----------------------------
The BBS SIG held its first meeting on Saturday evening, March 5,
1994, in conjunction with the TAPR annual meeting. This meeting
will be the second of three scheduled this year.
The BBS SIG is currently considering these issues:
o hierarchical addressing
o education of users to get the most from the local
bulletin boards
o education of sysops to get the most from their
software
o establishing a library of case studies so we're all
not constantly 'reinventing the wheel' when we
set up or upgrade a BBS
o establishing a list of standard 'TO' and '@' fields
The Friday evening session will discuss these and look at what
other issues the BBS SIG should begin to exam. Please come join
this meeting of the minds.
Dave Wolf, WO5H, BBS SIG chairperson
TAPR Regional Networking SIG
----------------------------
The NET SIG held its first meeting on Friday evening, March 4,
1994, in conjunction with the TAPR annual meeting. Below is the
list of current issues.
1. Establish a collection of networking case studies for the
benefit of those implementing networks.
2. Establish a database of people interested in networking.
3. Get discussion going on how we're going to interconnect
regional networks.
4. Discuss the role of packet <--> internet gateways in
the network scheme.
The NET SIG will meet at the Radisson Inn in Dayton on Saturday
evening, April 30, after the McNasty's packet dinner. Come to the
Saturday evening session and LET'S HEAR WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THESE ISSUES!!

I'm no Motorola expert, but i thought all the syntors where
synthesized. (otherwise, wouldn't they have called them
Crytors?:) The plain vanilla Syntor, is available in several
different models for high band, low band, UHF, and 800. There are
probably more. I've used both VHF and UHF models successfully on
the ham bands, with no conversion other than reprogramming and
retuning. (be a little careful, for each band, there are several
different ranges of synthesizers, not all the ranges will work in
the ham bands)
As for setting up the prom information on the radio, it's pretty
simple, once you figure out all the pin-shift stuff, and
frequency data for the synthesizer dividers. I'll bet the info is
motorola proprietary, so there is no way I can give you any of
the data or prom information, but any dealer should be able to
get 90% of the data correct from the factory programer. The pin-
shifts on the factory programer will probably be incorrect for
amateur use, but you can fix those manually. (providing you have
a way to edit the prom data)
I recently picked up a low band syntor X. Reverse engineering the
programming codes on that radio is a tad more tricky. It has MANY
more features than the plain syntor. All the PL and DPL codes are
programmable, as are a timeout timer, pin-shifts, priority and
non-priority scan lists, noise blanker, and squelch modes. It's a
nice radio and covers 10 meters thru 6 meters! I'm using mine
for 29.6Mhz, state police and fire scanning, and 6 meters, all
without doing any hardware conversion! About all i have to do is
change the antenna on the car when i switch from 6 to 10.
Sorry i can't supply you with detailed data for setting up the
radio, but if you just need some info on the pin shifts or
synthesizer ranges, i may be able to help you out. FYI the pin
shift info and SOME of the programing information is available in
the Motorola service manual. Again, the internal specifics of the
prom data is probably owned by Motorola, so check with a dealer
if you don't have a GOOD logic analyzer and a lot of patience !
Maybe in another 10 years or so, the prom information will be
public domain! (or at least Motorola won't care if it is handed
around)

I have heard of people using their HF receivers, to receive the
WEFAX signal from Spacenet3 T17. Is anyone out their doing this, or
could tell me how it is done? It's the service that is provided
by Alden Electronics and is FREE as long as it is not used for personal
gain or profit.
.
Thanks, William.
