I was able to share a single Signalink with QtSoundmodem 0.0.0.73 configured with fx25 and il2p ports, ardopcf?1.0.4.1.3_develop, and VARA HF 4.8.7 via wine without issue. Only been testing for a few hours but so far so good.

Re: How to install QtTerm on Ubuntu 24.04
I tried it without compiling (in Ubuntu 24.04). I downloaded the 64 bit version from the beta area.
wget
I had to install the 3 packages below, which installed other dependencies.
sudo apt install libqt5widgets5t64 sudo apt install libqt5multimedia5 sudo apt install libqt5serialport5
Then ./QtTermTCP64 started the program fine.

I don't believe that is the issues, when the bbs does its fwd cycle it works. But to do a force fwd to check the script to make sure it is setup correctly it does not work.

Re: I do not understand the function of this hierarchical address
The new code should have removed any records with more than 6 chars when loaded and prevent any more being added.
The code should handle up to 20 address elements but as the AT field is limited to 40 chars the practical limit is rather less.

A few minutes ago, I upgraded to Version 6.0.24.67 March 13, 2025
from 6.0.?.? (around October 2024).
I had put "HAMGATE" in my BADWORDS.SYS file hoping to trap those hierarchical
addresses > 6 characters while still allowing the 6 character "HAMGAT".

When a node gets as large as yours it might start to hit limits of things like MAXCIRCUITS, MAXLINKS or something else.? Consider those and other settings for your size node.
?
But, I use that feature all the time with ~45 AXIP connections and it has always worked, even when no messages were queued.

You could open the PORTS page in the BPQ html pages. There is a Beacons button.? I have never used it... I don't know how well it would work on Pactor, if at all.
?
If you use a rigcontrol line in your config file then your frequencies will appear on the Modem Modes page of the BPQ Node Map at

Re: I do not understand the function of this hierarchical address
I am pretty sure you are fully knowledgeable of the @ portion of the address.? I think you are questioning HAMGATEME.
?
There are a group of hams that are RF only operating in a closed network.? They all use the alias HAMGATE and then append the state abbreviation.? This one would be for Maine.? HAMGATEME.? I have also seen:
?
HAMGATENJ
HAMGATECT
HAMGATEMA
HAMGAT
?
The way it happens to get into the WP is that someone sends a BBS message to or from one of these 'calls' and the message? gets routed to a node that is connected to the network AND a BPQ node and either the message gets out of the closed network, or that station sends a WP Update message to a station outsde of the closed network.? Bingo, into the WP of everyone.
?
BPQ should limit 'calls' to 6 characters, or validate the call for a proper amateur radio call sign.? I think I remember John saying BPQ limits the call to 6 characters....
?
Once in a greate while I will puruse the WP on my system and try and delete anything with alpha characters only.? I see a lot of different things.? DSA, JOHN, ME, LOCAL, IMPORT, and many others over the years.? They don't hurt anything, just take up space.? It's too bad one cannot delete a WP entry and that deletion propogates to others.

Hi, Jan:
Sorry, I was not more specific.
It is the HAMGATEME part that baffles me.
I was wondering?if BPQ32 parses hierarchical addresses > 6 characters ?
I was wondering if BPQ32 parses hierarchical addresses to a depth > 5 ?

Re: I do not understand the function of this hierarchical address
Hello Chuck,?
?
Totally not or a piece of it??
?
The hierarchical addresses are used to route mail or bulletins. They break up in two pieces for processing, before and after the @? There are in HAM radio land two ways to send. Via or to a internet address or via AX25 BBS systems.?
?
This means there shouldn't be a difference to know how to route, via internet or staying in the AX25 HAM community.?
?
It cracks up like this.?
For messages and mail in the AX25 network.?
<Person>@<bbs>.#<state>.<country>.<continent>
?
For internet email the # is not used.?
<Person>@<bbs>.<state>.<country>.<continent>
?
This because every BBS system or has a filter that decides where and what to do with a received message. Also called a rewrite file.?
?
Determine what neighbour link partners you have and fill in their hierarchical adresses, and use the # please if you have radio links. Otherwise the mailserver can get confused how to process.?
?
If you want to know more about the specific configuring "page" then search the howto or ask your neighbour link partner theirs.?

Hi dear john
?
I've tried using custom templates but I've found a few problems:
the first:
I load an image into my template with the following code
<img src="{FormFolder}inc/logo_63.png" alt="Logo 63" width="60%" />
The text is converted into a url that seems correct but the image doesn't appear. If I copy/paste the link into the browser, the browser tries to save a file
?
the second problem:
When viewing a message with the template, the message is displayed in the template but the tag {FormFolder} is not interpreted and replaced by the required part of url
?
These templates work perfectly with winlink express 1.7.
