Hi Matt,

This is easy to do in the web interface. At the moment I am not where I can easily check which file(s) may be able to be edited manually.

In the web interface go to Mail Mgmt -> Welcome Msgs & Prompts. Options for user welcome, user prompt, and signoff should all be there to customize however you want with variable substitutions for things like name and callsign etc.

Hi All,

Is there a way to customize the BBS prompt for specific users?? Right now, my "expert" prompt is "Hello 'name', de WE1H", and for certain stations, I'd like to simply have a ">" for the prompt.? Is that possible?? I've done some research and reviewed the config file, but nothing jumps out at me for this.

Thanks!

G'Morning John and Red,
I've been debating that - I just have not had time to look at the innards of how a program would function to pull just the text file. I may have time this weekend to really play with something in C or Java, just not sure of the mechanics of how the applications pass information yet. I love what Red has created and that offers a lot more though with triggering PHP scripts on the back end after configuring FastCGI-PHP on Lighttpd as leverage on the OS itself. Pulling my weather station via RTL_433 then parsing that information into something useful via PHP. I'm not an APRS guy - so it would be nice to rather have some data like local wx available along with critical information on a "Cheat Sheet".... maybe I'll have time to actually dust off the programming hat and do something about it.

Red - All is working good now with your script. No issues yet - but I've had limited time to test since making changes.

Greg - N3BYR
Greg, the PHP stuff is awesome for fetching data and generating stuff as you said, great flexibility. I’m pleased you’ve found it worthwhile.?

A nicely formatted page with hyperlinks to different sections of your station apparatus to drill down into the cheatsheet has real potential. The menus are literally only html lists, setting the ‘f’ mode first will make a page appear all in one go with original formatting, by default it pages it condensed without empty lines (a side effect of the method to generate pagination), bonus mode for slow links.

Best of luck and happy experimenting!

?

For JNOS & BPQ to communicate on UDP, INP3 must be selected at both ends, in JNOS there is a Net Rom option

how ever I don’t think it has been repaired.

?

I have used AXUDP With a NOS Station once both were set for INP3, I have also used with JNOS AX.25 IP Protocol 93

without any problems, but I would avoid the 44 AMPR Network due to Hacking attempts.

Hope this helps you out.

Re: Jnos to bpq over axip on aredn

#37876

To the group,

Since I am the other end of Joey's axudp link, I can answer the questions that were posed. And yes, it is an axudp link, not axip (Sorry Charles). And, keep in mind that Joey *was* able to connect over the link and access my BBS. Thus, the link has vital signs of life.

> Does the jnos box have a reciprocal udp interface set up to communicate with the bpq node on 10093?
Yes, the interface is set up and is identical to a similar working link with a bbs in Wisconsin.

> Does your node show up on the jnos box when user issues the N command?
This would be true if both ends were running NetRom. NetRom in itself is not a requirement for two BBS's to communicate with each other. In some respects, it makes life more difficult.

> What does the user get? Timeout error? Or access denied?
When I try to connect to Joey, I simply get a timeout. I should mention that I see some activity from him over the link in the j heard list for that interface.

j udp-cin

> Is the user in your ftpusers file in /jnos?
Joey is in the ftpusers file. On one connection into jnos he actually sent me a message. So that part works.

> Also, are you allowing udp 10093 through your home router firewall and pointing to bpq box?
Not applicable since both stations are on a common, private network, the Amateur Mesh network. The Internet does not come into play with this connection.

My perspective is that Joey needs some help with permissions on his end and how to handle incoming connections. Unfortunately, I don't know BQP that well to offer him any help.

44net is not 44.0.0.0/8 after the IP address sale a few years ago. Current proper routing netmask is a two parter - 44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10

Re: Jnos to bpq over axip on aredn

Remove the UDP 10093 from the map statement for a station connecting by AXIP.

Re: IPGATEWAY with existing ampr-ripd gateway #bpqconfig #network

#37870

Just to close out on this topic.? I got AX/IP working with alot of help from Charles, N2NOV (Thanks Charles!).? Here's what worked.

Added a second adapter to the BPQ box and assigned my 44net address to it, but did not give it a gateway.
Delete all of my 44 net routes (including the default route) as I defined them incorrectly (wrong mask)
Added a persistent route to 44.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 and bound it to my ethernet adapter with my 44 net address
Updated my BPQ config to include the AX/IP link I wanted
Waited a few minutes?
Connected

One gotcha though...? doing this seems to have disconnected my UDP connection to another partner with a 44 net address.? Now I can't reach him directly.? We'll solve that by changing to an AX/IP connection.? But that is a gotcha for sure.

Thanks for all the guidance.

Why do you want to run IPGATEWAY? If it is only to allow you to access 44 NET addresses you should only need to add routes to 44.0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10 to your windows machine pointing to your 44 Gateway machine.

IPGATEWAY is needed to route IP packets over your RF links, and/or to run an AMPRNET gateway if you don't already have one.

BPQ + NTS + Winlink Client EmComm help (sans Internet)

#37867

I just realized a few days ago when I stumbled on a document that BPQ can handle Winlink traffic offline to regular BBS users.? What is not clear to me is if this would work with NTS traffic in The form of:

ZIPXX@NTSXX

SUB: QTC PODUNK NE 1?

MESSAGE TXT

AR?

Where ZIPXX is the five digit numeric US zip code,?

And the XX in NTSXX is the two letter US state code.

Any help would be appreciated As this the “Killer App” of emcomm as it takes very little additional training for end users and is what we would need in a real world disaster.? Even sharing an BPQ32.CFG with passwords hashed out would be helpful.

You can't have ELSE then a TIMES line. ELSE is used to try another station if the first fails.

You should ATTACH the port before issuing the RADIO command (without a PORT Number).

Hi John/Red,

I have a really tough time getting this to work reliably.? I wonder if you guys can look and offer any suggestions when you have time?

I have a forward script like this that gets interrupted every time and reverts to the RIGCONTROL frequency selection:

RADIO 1

HAMLIB 192.168.200.113:4532 HAMLIB=4532

00:00

15,10.1473,PKT,F1,R2

15,10.1473,PKT,F1,H1

Forward script:
TIMES 0000-1200
RADIO 6 7.101
PAUSE 5
ATT 6
RPACKET
C N9LYA
ELSE
TIMES 1201-2349
RADIO 6 14.1065
PAUSE 5
ATT 6
RPACKET
C N9LYA

Problem being that as soon as forward script kicks in every hour, the radio swaps frequency as the forward script states above for a few seconds then reverts back to 10.1473.

Coincidentally without the TIMES lines, it will roll through the forward script frequencies, trying the first ok.? Then when its unsuccessful on the first option, the ELSEd second option will just swap frequency and state "Port is in use".

I"d really like to resolve this some day if it is.

Life for me would probably be simpler if I could exec shell scripts to do this in the interim from forward scripts I suppose.??? Am only thinking there is some sort of 'locking' issue bug here that only seems to effect WinRPR driver.

The port uses RADIO=1 and INTERLOCK=1 respectively.
