howto send from winlink express to BPQmail using telnet on a local host
I am trying to work out a way to send from ?winlink express to bpqmail thru telnet on the localhost
I need to generate outgoing messages to a group and winlink express seems to handle this the best from what I can see
SO with that being said instead ?
?
I saw on winlink express under telnet session - settings there is a way to use the local machine as a RMS Relay. So I am assuming
that I need to set CMS=1 on the BPQ32.cfg port definition but beyond that I am lost and dont see where to establish the rms relay?
to listen on 8772
?
I could also be all wet and not understanding the pipe
?
any guidance is welcome?

Re: how to post a bulletin to the BBS and have it be rewritten to a list
Correct they are on vara in a closed HF environment using winlink express to connect to bpqmail?I tested and can originate from a group list from Winink and post to the bbs but I was hoping I can do something like that from within bpqmail without having to? use an external feed

Need to reset frequency on radio after forwarding
I manually pickup messages from an area DTN hub using BPQMail and would like to go back to a set frequency after forwarding so they can find me when sending traffic to me.? I saw a reference to the parameter DefaultRXFrequency xx.xxx but no reference if this still works or where to put it the port config file.? Can someone help me reset my radio after forwarding to a set frequency?
?
Thanks

Re: how to post a bulletin to the BBS and have it be rewritten to a list
If not what would be the best way to post a message to multiple recipients from a defined list
Or generate a message from winlink express from a group of addresses and ?post it and let bpqmail process it
Just trying to find a way of making it easier?
Thanks

Re: Need Advice: RF Only Forwarding
Hi Jan, I wasn't aware that the 9612 had DAMA. On the east coast, we have a group that uses PC/FlexNet and Flexnet32 although they don't seem to take advantage of DAMA master/slave.
This project is a dedicated one-hop link. I appreciate the info and will look into that.

Hello,?
If you are using a station which over sees other? not seeing each other you make it a DAMA master. This master accepts stations and leaves a space for other connecting stations. This is to prevent someone aiming a beam with high power and tight AX25 parameters.?
?
Netrom is a horrible routing protocol and produces a massive data overhead which gives lower throughput.?
?
If you want to send data from one node to the other in a dedicated link use digipeat. And broadcast in the beacon from the DAMA master? digipeater the reachable access nodes.?
?
KPC9612 has DAMA capabilities.?

I always have something strange, or try to do something strange that works differently.? Now my HF forwarding works fine when manually started but only two of the stations follow the intervals.? The other three will only connect when I trigger the forwarding manually.? Go figure...
?
Thanks John.? It may work itself out after a few updates or a new full installer.? It's not causing any grief as there are multiple ways to do it.

Re: BPQ Kiss AX25 Bridge Testing
Hi John,
After some additional testing I would say unless you are really curious do not spend any time on this. The bridge itself is switching packets between the two RF ports as quickly as it can which unless I misunderstand the intent of implementing this for AX25 is exactly what a bridge should do. It is up to the "things" on either side of the bridge to synchronize and / or handle timing.
So far my tests bridging 10m HF 1200b soundcard s/w TNC's to / from 70cm FM 1200b h/w TNC's have all resulted in some amount of retries even after varying the usual timing parameters (SLOTTIME, PERSIST, FRACK) through a wide range. I may have missed setting these in the best combination for the equipment used but either way the bridging does work well enough if needed as long as there is not a sustained large amount of data to bridge.
Thanks for offering to have a look though.

After starting linbpq i ran this commands and then it works
?
sudo ip route add 192.168.0.114 dev LinBPQTAB? ? (on sg0yos)
and
sudo ip route add 192.168.5.1 dev LinBPQTAB? ? ? ? ?(on se0yos)
?
Probably wrong way to do it but couldn't run these commands
in the IPGATEWAY configuration.

Edit to add that the BPQ Console window in the BPQMail application works normally.
?
Just when a new terminal window is opened from the BPQ32 Console MDI and the BBS is accessed from there does this happen.

HF Forwarding partners needed
I'm looking for some HF Forwarding partners for NTS and Emergence traffic as it becomes necessary don't need any bulletins over HF. I have a full time 24/7 BPQ32 station setup and ready to rock and roll here in the lower part of Texas where it seems to be forgotten. If you are interested send your connect script to this station, I will put your callsign in my forwarding file for a connection. To connect to my station, you can find the listed frequencies on WL2K webpage.

Re: Need Advice: RF Only Forwarding
Hi Chris,
What you describe is a classic hidden node problem, the mountaintop station hears all, but stations on one side can not hear the other side, so can transmit over one another when talking to or through, the mountaintop.? So setup 2 is best as it has lower traffic levels on both sides on the link frequency.? But in both cases I would set up the mountaintop node in knet mode and let net rom provide visibility to nodes on all sides of the mountain. connect scripts would be trivial, as all nodes would be listed in each systems nodes table, so a simple c node is all that is needed in the scripts.? A digi is also possible but would have lower thruput due to traffic collisions when traffic levels are high because of the hidden node problem above. connect scripts would require using a c node via digi syntax. ? k-net works well for manual node hopping but is not meant for automatic networking.?
That's my $0.02 worth, hope it helps.
