Ok.? Does closing the terminal window close the application?? Or likewise, does ^C stop the application when it closes the terminal window?

Re: No Line Feeds after Carriage Returns

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I don't think my last comment was correct. Connects to TCPPORT should send CRLF, connects to FBBPORT only CR.

suggested he use the "Implicit Line Feed in every C/R"

I have been unable to duplicate this using Windows Telnet

Re: No Line Feeds after Carriage Returns

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

The packet standard is to end lines with CR.?? I'm surprised that setting "Implicit Line Feed in every C/R" in Putty doesn't work, but generally it is better to use one of the versions of BPQTermTCP rather than a normal telnet client.

Re: Disconnect not recognized

It¡¯s Pactor on HF ?using an SCS PTC-IIusb. The connect script has ATT 4, RADIO to set freq and mode, the C to call, then ELSE, PAUSE 5, and another attach, radio, and call command set. Poor propagation recently has resulted in more dropped connections after successfully connecting to the other station.

Re: Hide Port

 

John,

Good morning, this is fantastic. Just tested it briefly.

Everything looks good so far.

My TCPKISS Port is being hidden.

Great!

Thanks

Hide Port

 

The latest Beta includes the option to hide a port from the PORTS display and the Port List in the AGW Emulator. The port is still visible via the management interface.

Add HIDE=1 to the main section of the port configuration (above any CONFIG statement).

John

John:

I followed these instructions explicitly.? All seemed to work as expected except as noted.

now open your file system, open linbpq, right-click on the HTMLPages.zip and select Extract Here.
Then right-click on that HTMLPages folder to change the name to just HTML.
Then right-click and delete the zip file.

No HTMLPages folder appeared in the linbpq directory.

In the Direwolf window I can see that Direwolf is decoding traffic on the packet channel.

Re: Connect script via telnet connection #telnet

 

Thanks John...
That is a combination of commands that I had tried previously, but not using the FBB port for the remote station.

Lo and behold, using your example, a successful connection followed!
A shame I did not spot that within the online documentation :-(

73 and keep up the good work,
Mike


Re: New bpq32 install connection refused

 


It also looks like you might want to start from scratch, because your current version doesn't seem to initialize any of the ports for some reason.
If you already changed the name of your BPQ directory to linbpq, change it to oldlinbpq so you can start over:



open a new terminal for the following commands:

mkdir linbpq

cd linbpq

wget https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/pilinbpq

mv pilinbpq linbpq

chmod a+x linbpq

sudo setcap "CAP_NET_ADMIN=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep" linbpq

wget http://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/HTMLPages.zip

now open your file system, open linbpq, right-click on the HTMLPages.zip and select Extract Here.
Then right-click on that HTMLPages folder to change the name to just HTML.
Then right-click and delete the zip file.

Now take your existing bpq32.cfg file and copy that into the linbpq folder.

Open a new terminal and start direwolf with just: direwolf

In the linbpq terminal, start linbpq with: ./linbpq
