The AEA Maildrop will both forward and accept messages while the
computer is off. This is one of the advantages of putting existing
ROM code to work. The AEA tnc has about 20k of message storage space,
and can be used as a personal maildrop, or set to handle 3rd party
(station A sends to B using C's ROM PBBS system). PK-232MBX 1991 users
have TMAIL command. TMAIL ON turns on AMTOR ARQ maildrop. For AMTOR
users, leave TMAIL OFF unless you really want incoming "connects" to
go to the maildrop.
MAIL ON -- To turn on your maildrop.
TMAIL ON - AMTOR Maildrop ON
MYMAIL callsign-n -- It helps to have a callsign SSID different
than MYCALL. This will allow you to leave the maildrop on all the time.
People can connect to your "live" connect or to the maildrop.
HOMEBBS callsign -- Callsign (no SSID) of the BBS that will be accessing
your PBBS. I set mine to KB6GFT
KILONFWD ON -- Messages FROM you are deleted after forwarding.
3RDPARTY ON -- Allow messages between two other stations. This defaults
to OFF, disallowing some other station to use your maildrop as a small BBS.
Try setting it ON unless your maildrop runs out of memory. If it is on,
encourage your users to kill their messages after reading them to free
up maildrop message space.
No computer needs to be left on. You will see a blinking LED on your
TNC if you have incoming messages. Contact your local BBS operator to see
if the sysop will arrange for auto forwarding to your personal BBS.
Use [ALT-F8] to access the maildrop. Follow instructions in AEA manual
Sending a message is easy:
