- Heres the problem! Using NSCA Telenet programs. Tried 2.5 & 2.6 versions.
- with 2.5, can only get in with out "2000", then needs password! With 2000,
- gives only blank screen that will not accept commands or typing!
- Now, with 2.6 version, NOT ABLE TO GET IN AT ALL. I'm stumped. Guess up to
- APPLE TALK for another Telnet program. Dick W1DGA

- Well, our internal LAN was put together as an experiment. Not all

- (Shipping Department, mail room, etc.) For any function, you can
- usually find someone on our list who is willing to respond.
-
- The notable exceptions are Perry Williams (retiring in about 3 weeks
- anyway) and W1AW. They rely on MCI or CompuServe.
-
- Those who have an address, read their email. :-)
-
- We are in the process of installing a "real" commercial LAN over
- the coming months, so ultimately everyone who has a computer
- will be available by email. Of course, there may be a few who don't
- have a computer, but that is another flame war.

- ARLB030 FCC amends packet rule
-
- FCC Amends Rules Concerning Message Forwarding Systems in the
- Amateur Service
-
- In an April 4 press release, the FCC announced that it has relaxed
- the amateur service rules to enable contemporary message forwarding
- systems to operate at hundreds of characters per second while
- retaining safeguards to prevent misuse.
-
- A message forwarding system is a group of amateur stations
- participating in a voluntary, cooperative, interactive arrangement
- where communications from the control operator of an originating
- station are transmitted to one or more destination stations via
- forwarding stations, which may or may not be automatically
- controlled.
-
- Currently, the control operator of each station is held individually
- accountable for each message retransmitted, resulting in unnecessary
- content review and delays.
-
- The ARRL, in commenting on PR Docket 93-85, stated that the
- obligation of the control operator of the first forwarding station
- should be the establishment of the identity of the station
- originating the message. Only when this is not done should these
- control operators be held accountable for improper message content.
-
- Also, there is currently no central supervisory authority in an ad
- hoc amateur service digital network, making these unsupervised
- systems easy targets for misuse by uncooperative operators and
- nonhams.
-
- Moreover, the Commission said that it could be difficult to
- establish after the fact that a particular VHF station originated a
- fleeting high-speed digital transmission.
-
- For these reasons, the Commission said there must be on-going
- oversight of the system and the control operators of the first
- forwarding stations are in the best position to provide such
- oversight.
-
- Therefore, the Commission will hold accountable only the licensees
- of the station originating a message and the licensee of the first
- station forwarding a message in a high-speed message forwarding
- system.
-
- The licensee of the first forwarding station must either
- authenticate the identity of the station from which it accepts
- communications on behalf of the system, or accept accountability for
- the content of the message.
-
- The Commission also clarified that the station that receives a
- communication directly from the originating station and introduces
- it into the message forwarding system is the first forwarding
- station.
-
- The League and the Colorado Council of Amateur Radio Clubs suggested
- that the Commission substitute the word ''simultaneously'' for
- ''instantaneously'' in the redefinition of a repeater. The Commission
- concurred and adopted this modification.
-
- The Commission believes that these rule changes will enable
- contemporary high-speed message forwarding systems to operate as
- their designers intended, while retaining the minimum safeguards
- necessary to prevent misuse.
-
- The effective date of the rules change has not yet been announced.
