Re: Is anyone currently using BPQ AXIP over Starlink Internet service?
Will do, our field testing is Thursday and top of the list is to get BPQ connected and hopedfully connected to a few other nodes over AXIP
We are using ZeroTier already in this setup and I can also make it work over OpenVPN but we have a need to try with just outbound connectivity or some sort of port forwarding.
We will let you know what we find, today I am setting up StarLink at a radio site that has no other Internet and it will be part of our test.

Re: Is anyone currently using BPQ AXIP over Starlink Internet service?
What's your time frame ? This week I am adding a Starlink and we hope to test with a BPQ node behind with no VPN and see what the issues are.
We might have the same issues you will encounter and we have a list of options to see what works.

Re: Is anyone currently using BPQ AXIP over Starlink Internet service?
Charlie,
I have it running over Starlink, currently using VPN (ZeroTier) but plan to change it up slightly. SL uses CGNAT and I need to make a couple of portable BPQ nodes that will have Starlink and want to try with no VPN.
What's your setup ?

Re: Compiling QtTermTCP on a Mac
Well that compiled and ran perfectly.
For anyone else who wants to do the same in their Mac here is what you need to do.
1) Download and install Xcode for your version of macOS. You can find the link (to Apple) for the appropriate version here: https://xcodereleases.com/
2) Once Xcode is installed you need to install "command line tools" for Xcode. Depending on the Xcode version there are different ways to do this.? At one time it was done through one of the menus in Xcode. Later it became a command you ran from the terminal. Now it is a separate .DMG you download and install.? Do a "google search" for your Xcode version and command line tools like so:
??? xcode 14.3 command line tools
?? ?
The results should point you in the right direction.
3) With Xcode and command line tools installed you need to install the Qt Framework.? I did this via Brew.? Brew is a package manager for open source software for macOS.? Brew's homepage is https://brew.sh/.? You install it with this command in the terminal:
??? /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
?? ?
Note that anything you do in Brew often results in some informational text at the end that requires you do do something further. Usually you copy/paste a command in the terminal and run that. This is mostly to alter your bash profile which is why it is left as optional even though 99% of people will want to do it. At this point you should also exit the terminal and then re-launch it. You could probably also "source" the bash profile file to accomplish the same.
4) To install the Qt Framework via Brew enter the following in the terminal:
??? brew install qt@5
Follow any instructions at the end. If you don't then Qt won't be in your PATH and you won't be able to run qmake etc.
5) Download QtTermTCP source from here: https://github.com/g8bpq/QtTermTCP/releases/tag/00.63 and extract the zip or tar.gz file it some directory of your choice.? I put all my open source software that requires compiling from source in a "builds" directory off my home directory. ?
6) Open terminal and cd to the QtTermTCP source directory.? Type qmake. If that finishes without error then type make.? If that finishes without error then you will have built QtTermTCP.app.? Depending on your macOS version or how you've configured certain Finder options, you will either see it as QtTermTCP.app or just QtTermTCP.? But if you do a ls -lh in the terminal you should see QtTermTCP.app.? Open Finder and drag/drop QtTermTCP.app to your /Applications folder.? It should run when double-clicked as any Mac application would.

Re: Compiling QtTermTCP on a Mac
Oh my. I knew I was tired yesterday evening, but I didn't realize just how tired I must have been lol.? I got the source from your Github John, but I must have clicked QtSoundmodem rather than QtTermTCP and never noticed, even while unzipping, cd-ing etc.
I'll try the source from here today. https://github.com/g8bpq/QtTermTCP/releases/tag/00.63

Re: Compiling QtTermTCP on a Mac
It looks like you are building QtSoundModem not QtTermTCP. Where did
you download the source from?

Compiling QtTermTCP on a Mac
I've got QT5 installed via Brew and was able to compile the source for QtTermTCP on John's website. But when I tried to do the same with the 0.64 source on John's Github it fails with the below. ?Is there a way to edit the Makefile so that it doesn't bother with the audio side of things? I just want to use it to connect to my linbpq RPi on my lan.

BBS Forwarding using the BBS callsign . .
Hi Everyone,
? Our group have 3 BBS (dw1irf-4), (dw1ott-4) and (du3fs-4) that forwards to each other without problems except
when I (dw1irf) use the DU3FS-4 or the DW1OTT-4 BBS and sends a packet mail to anyone who uses the (DW1IRF-4 BBS) as their Home BBS.?
I am using Winlink Express. Example, sending a packet mail to 4g1rmc@.... The mail is sent to the BBS but just stays there.
It doesn't get queued for forwarding. If I use a different callsign (k6irf) and sends the same packet mail to the same BBS it gets forwarded?
to the DW1IRF-4 BBS. Is there a setting that I just missed? or maybe a work-around. Thanks! Lot / k6irf | dw1irf.??

Re: Trying to get VARA working - no PTT?
Hi John. Yes, the rig keys with VARA Tune. VARA also works when I use VARA Terminal or VarAC.

Re: Trying to get VARA working - no PTT?
The signalink should be doing the PTT. Does the rig key if you do a
VARA Tune?
