I forgot I had posted a question here. Not sure why because the BPQ group and John's docs are pretty good. I don't remember exactly what the solution was but some of the mistakes I've made in the last year include any or all of the following:

Hope this helps.

Thanks all, I've been distracted by real life the last few days. I'll get back on this tomorrow. I appreciate everyone's help.

Edit: I have a pi zero w on the way that I originally intended for use as a digipeater, I may give it a try instead of the pi 3 I've been using, see if that matters.

Compare against a template I saw a few things missing. Here are some tools to make a template or a config.?

OK well sorry I couldn't be any more help. Please report back what you found.

I don't see Telnet setup in your cfg file.? BPQ needs to know where your RF is to go. I remember having to set up RMS. I think it's USER. Get hold of the BPQ on their group. I'm pulling at info I have not used in years, yes I had gurus log into my BPQ. I ran the VHF node, HF Winlink Gateway.?

Mike: I use a similar startup script that Jason put together. I believe everything is starting OK. Screen -r dw and screen -r bpq both return apparently good information. Direwolf is for sure ok, since I do get a connection. It's just that bpq hangs, apparently waiting for input.?

?

Early this morning I made a copy of your config and edited it, replacing your call with mine and putting in the Direwolf port. Without going into detail, I get exactly the same result: Connected, got "Enter ? for a list of commands:" and then it sits there. (I have my Winlink client and its radio connected through attenuation directly to the gateway radio, so no rf is going anywhere.) Winlink client is W3IVH, gateway is W3IVH-9, so no callsign conflict (probably).?

?

At this point I'm inclined to think the problem isn't bpq at all, but something else going on with the Raspberry Pi.

?

Thanks again to everyone for their help and patience. I can just see this whole mess being something obvious and stupid. I am prepared to be embarrassed.

OK No Pat - cool!

Command sudo systemctl stop pat@pi returns failed to stop pat@...: Unit pat@... not loaded.

?

So I guess pat isn't running anyway.I was pretty sure I never installed it.

?

Jason's original tutorial (based on BAP) only suggested installing BPQ, Direwolf, and Pulseaudio (which is not available on 73linux and as far as I can tell, not needed). So all I have on the statem is BPQ and Direwolf.

One more thing I remembered. In order to get BPQ to run (assuming the 73linux?/ KM4ACK install) you have to stop pat and disable it from starting on reboot:

Thanks for trying. I'll figure it out. You've given me some good information to check.

In order for the changes to take effect, you either need to restart bpq, or reboot the Pi.

For reference, here is my bpq.cfg file.Hope this helps!

Don: You mean a Linux user? Does it need any group permissions?

?

Mike: Tried changing the 0 to 255, no effect that I could tell.

?

Thanks

I think the problem lies in this line:

More info: this is my config files (passwords redacted):

?

Yup, that opens the node web server "W3IVH-9's BPQ32 Web Server" with the banner?

BPQ32 Node W3IVH-9

Bottom of config:

APPLICATION 3,RMS,C 1 CMS,W3IVH-9,,0

?

Which as far as I can tell is OK.

?

If I open the terminal on the bpq web interface and enter RMS, it returns:

RMS
Trying ec2-52-23-12-135.compute-1.amazonaws.com
*** W3IVH Connected to CMS
[WL2K-5.0-B2FWIHJM$]
;PQ: 49811864
CMS via W3IVH >

?

So I'm guessing the connection to RMS is actually ok, but it doesn't do anything. Won't try to receive or send mail, just hangs.

?

I'm going over the config you sent, can't see what's wrong yet.
