BPQ + NTS + Winlink Client EmComm help (sans Internet)
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. -- Thanks, Chris Maness -Sent from my iPhone |
Chris,
From memory so you may have to play around with these and read the documentation..... In your telnet config you should have the directives to be a Winlink gateway. CMS=1 CMSCALL=xxxxxx CMSPASS=xxxxxx Then you need to provide a relay directive... RELAYAPP=BBS Read up on FALLBACKTORELAY as that might be needed in your case. That will put all Winlink messages in the BBS where users can pick them up.? You may need an APPLICATION line to answer Winlink connections. For NTS messages it is just a matter of forwarding records. A zip code in the TO field will forward to that station and the station probably should be a NTS digital station expecting NTS messages. In the AT field you can put NTS* to forward all NTS messages, or you can use NTSxx where xx is a specific state to forward NTS messages for that state to a NTS digital station. There are most likely other ways to do this, I'm sure.? I actually run RMS Relay along side of one of my installs as it acts as a Local Post Office and I have not found a way for BPQ to completely simulate the actions of Relay. Using those hints you can probably get it working the way you want, and may get a few more hints from other users more experienced than me. 73, Mark |
Yes, I have much of that going already, but I am not having luck with
the zip code in the to: field. I get matches say K6HTN lives in 91104, and she gets tons of messages. I forward her matches to a file (because we are still trying to get her setup), despite 91104 being set in my forward settings for her call, I have to manually go in and tag each piece of traffic to be forwarded. They don't automagically get tagged green like @NTS* does in the AT field. -Chris KQ6UP On Wed, May 3, 2023 at 8:54?AM Mark Taylor <mtaylor@...> wrote:

This was working after all. I was just not getting the yellow and

green color codes in the web GUI like I do for personals and bulls. Thanks, Chris KQ6UP On Wed, May 3, 2023 at 8:54?AM Mark Taylor <mtaylor@...> wrote:
