paKet REMOTE
You are connected to a paKet system with the REMOTE Operations mode
active.
You may operate this paKet system to a limited degree, performing
file transfers in both directions without any action required by the
operator of this station. You are in command of this system.
It operates in a manner similar to most of the popular BBS systems
around the world.
Enter "H" from the paKet Menu to get detailed information on the menu
commands.
You can leave a message in the PMS with the S (Send) command. If you
include a To-BBS ("@") address (eg: S VK2DHU @ VK2ATM), paKet can
automatically send that message to your BBS later for onward Forwarding.
paKet was developed initially as a data gathering system for a
Triathlon at which Packet Radio was to be used as a communications
medium. The project has grown to the point where paKet is now one of
the (if not THE) most sophisticated packet radio programs available
anywhere, laying claim to be "The best Packet Radio software in the world".
paKet is a communications system especially developed for Packet
Radio operation. Its features include:
Interrupt driven communications
Flashback feature
File and/or printer logging
Full featured PMS with automatic Mail Forwarding support
File transfers, both ASCII text and YAPP Binary protocol
Fully customisable through online configuration windows
Full online TNC help for all your TNC commands
Supports both hardware and software handshaking
Multiple windows for multiple connections
Remote (unattended) access
Access to DOS and to your favourite editor from within paKet
Automatic Script processing
Fully detailed comprehensive Manual
etc etc etc
(the list goes on... and on... and on...)
This system supports paKet-Protocol, an enhanced version of (but
completely compatible with) the original YAPP Protocol, allowing AUTOMATIC
recovery of an incomplete file transfer.
So, if you are receiving a binary file and the transfer ends prematurely,
the part-file will be retained on your disk. Provided your system also
supports paKet-Protocol, you just start the same transfer again and
paKet-Protocol will do the rest, restarting from where you left off!
The pP protocol is fully documented in the paKet documentation so other
software authors can add support for this file recovery mechanism too.
paKet is available as a SHAREWARE system and should be available on most
BBS systems, not to mention all paKet REMOTE systems, for downloading.
(You will need to have binary transfer facilities, either YAPP protocol or
paKet-Protocol, to download it).
So, if you are not already using paKet, give it a try.
