- This document explains how to use this bbs s/w under the
- BPQ packet switch internet s/w.
-
- All the tests have been made by using BPQ v3.23,and kiss
- tncs.
-
- We are making the whole work by simulating pk232's host
- mode. We must configure the bbs cnfs files we have to
- use,to handle pk232,as normal,by adding a B in the tnc type
- description.
-
- Note that, we have a normal bbs operation on the virtual
- ports like the pk232 in real and we accept connects on all
- predefined channels.Bpq makes the deal with the kiss real
- tncs we have and conserves the outer links.
-
- In 'BPQCFG.TXT' we have to change:
-
- HOSTMODE=1
-
- so the first port in TNCPORTLIST,becomes PK232 virtual.
-
- ----------
-
- The whole bbs operation remains almost the same,with some
- changes only.
-
- changes:
-
- i . Cnf file: In the port description topic,we must use
- the port we have defined first in the TNCPORTLIST
- parameter minus 1.The same port number is used in each
- logical channel description which depends on this port.As
- a tnctype we have to write PK232B instead of PK232 which
- is for normal operation.
-
- ii . We must first connect to SWITCH,to have access to the
- local node which links with the outer world.Then if we wish
- to connect to a station we must give the port number and
- callsign.
-
- example : C 1 SV7AIZ
-
- ii.Fwd file: We must add one more line in each fwd
- station,that makes the link to switch.
-
-
-
-
- example :
- ---
- 2 SV7AIZ N
- T 0023 <5
- COSWITCH
- S*C 1 SV7QI
- R*Connected to SV7QI
- ---
-
-
- ** Note : We use port 2 on this example.It means that we
- have declared the first port in the TNCPORTLIST parameter
- as 3.
-
- TNCPORTLIST=3,4,5,6
