Re: NinoTNC with Windows BPQ32?
Thanks for your reply. I figured it would, as I have a working TARPN node, running Nino's with LinBPQ.
Turns out that the serial port naming convention was confusing. I initially put COM9 instead of 9 in the serial port configuration line. It seems to be working now, as expected. Easy thing to goof up, jumping from Linux to Window$. :-)
Best regards,
Gary, K7EK

Re: Links limited by buffers?
Good afternoon John, ? As I was assembling logs and config files to send to you, I decided that I would increase my MAXLINKS and MAXROUTES settings.? Problem resolved. I had been decreasing them as I was under the impression that smaller meant better connectivity. ? Also, as I was reviewing the journal entries for linbpq, I realized I had interpreted the data incorrectly. Linbpq was dropping packets, not nodes, and some of the packet drops resulting in the link disappearing. With the increase in MAXLINKS and MAXROUTES, most of those disappeared.? ? Once the system stabilized after restarting my node, the amount of buffers needed and in use decreased as well. ? Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!! ? 73 Chip Kroh, N3FUD N3FUD@... ?

Re: scanstart/scanstop during connections
After further thought, attempting to attach to a port from another session when the same or an interlocked port is already attached does get denied, so I could modify the script to use that as a check at the start.

scanstart/scanstop during connections
Hello John,
I noticed that if I attach to a port, which stops scanning temporarily as expected, and then connect via a different session and issue "radio n scanstart", scanning begins even though there is still a port attached. Shouldn't the scanstart command either be denied or just wait until a disconnect if there is either a port attached or a conversation in progress that started with an incoming connection?
The context is I have a script that can send beacons during scanning by issuing scanstop, setting the intended frequency, and pushing the test button in the web interface for the intended port. The problem scenario is when a conversation is in progress because the scanstart and scanstop commands still work in that case. If scanstart is issued at the end of the script in order to undo the scanstop that was issued first, scanning starts immediately and can disrupt an existing connection.
Thoughts?

Re: QTSoundmodem .72 on Debian Testing
On the first, qDebug(datas.data()); displays the return value from the call to FLRIG. This can show a successful operation as well as any errors , so isn't really equivalent to qDebug() << "SetPTT Failed"; What does the compiler complain about with the original?
On the second you need to add definitions of those two routines before they are called, ie
void analiz_frame(int snd_ch, string * frame, char * code, boolean fecflag);
void CreateStringList(TStringList * List);
Normally these are added near the top of the source or added to a header file. I've put them at line 30 in ax25_demod.c

Re: QTSoundmodem .72 on Debian Testing
Hello Dave,
Been retired from Debian for 14yrs now so unsure how you are going about the "hardening" effort and hope I am not wasting your time with this but FWIW the?stock source for .72 builds fine here on both x86 and x64 bookworm. Have not messed with trixie at all yet. I would guess the "hardening" mods are tripping these errors?

No offense towards John but I don't see any benefit in allowing BPQ to collect winlink messages. Really just curious. To me it's a network efficiency thing; it's one-stop shopping. A user can send a single message to multiple addressees, both packet and Winlink, and my BBS has multiple paths for a Winlink message to take to get the message(s) out. This means that a failed path for Winlink delivery doesn't affect the user (e.g. the user doesn't have to waste time trying different paths), the BBS will try all the paths for the user. And the user doesn't have to poll multiple connections for messages, my BBS can push any pending messages to the user, thus freeing up network time for other data. 73, Eric WG3K
