KM4ACK's Video How to install a Winlink Server on a Pi
4
When running screen -r bpq I get the following error. Seems to be an incorrect port setting (comes up by default in linBPQ Config Generator). Also, you need to use CALLSIGN-10, if you are going to run this config as a Winlink Server? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that he does more videos on how to run forms. KM6QAQ 73

Add apps to node
7
I am trying to add some applications to my node. Under JNOS I was able to add "mbox alias" statements that allowed users to enter an alias e.g. "MUD" and then it would magically telnet them to an app (a copy of Circle MUD). Can I do this with BPQ? I've done this in my config APPLICATION 4,MUD,,NI2O-5,WYNWX,255 but I can't work out how to then create a telnet connection out of the node to the service when the MUD command is issued. All I get is "WAYNE:NI2O-3} Sorry, Application MUD is not running - Please try later". Which makes sense as there's no instructions to do "telnet 44.56.66.6 4000". While I'm at it, can we also do "finger"? eg "finger ^philadelphia@..." Thanks Mark / NI2O

AXTCP Links
23
Hello to those on the list. I've just moved to new rural location, and it appears my wireless based internet service does not pass any unsolicited communication from the Internet to me. Even though I am using my own router, the port forwarding and ampr-ripd configurations are moot. Therefore I have no AXUDP using 10093, etc. and no ampret. Anyone interested in restoring their link with K5DAT-7 can use AXTCP with their side as the slave. In that case the map for K5DAT-7 would use this format if port 10200 were used: MAP K5DAT-7 0.0.0.0 TCP-Save 10200 B Each AXTCP link must use a unique TCP port, and the slave side, i.e. your side, must forward the TCP port in the local router to the BPQ host. Feel free to email me directly to work things out. If there are further questions in general about AXTCP, feel free to ask them on list. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for JNOS and URONODE currently. As I recall XRouter supports AXTCP, so it may be a solution there. When I get some time I may try an AXTCP link across the LAN between BPQ and XRouter.. 73, Lee K5DAT

Hardware for new node

WL2K Delete command
We were installing a new WL2KREPORT line and got the frequency wrong. Way wrong. Like, out of band wrong. I know Trimode has the ability to delete a frequency record from WL2K. Does anyone know how to send a delete command to remove that bad frequency? Using anything other than Trimode? Yeah, I know it will fall off by tomorrow but I'd rather get it off sooner. -- 73, Mark, N5MDT Montgomery, Texas http://n5mdt.ham-radio-op.net:52852

New version
2
There is a new version (.69) of BPQ in my Beta area and github. Main changes are that NETROM links try to negotiate using SREJ on connection and BBS transfer restart data is saved to disk so it is still available after a restart. Full changelog is at https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/BetaChangeLog.html 73, John

Errant connect script
3
Greetings. There's what I believe is a connect script making a connection to my node that is evidently originating from N0HI's node in Colorado. It's attempting to connect outbound to KB9UNZ-7 on my VHF port. I have not been within VHF range of KB9UNZ-7 in nearly two years since moving further north, but curiously this started relatively recently. I left a message with Jess N0HI asking about it but never received a response. I can't say for certain if the script resides in his node, though. 15:23:38T N0HI-14>KB9UNZ-7 Port=1 <C C P> 15:23:46T N0HI-14>KB9UNZ-7 Port=1 <C C P> 15:23:54T N0HI-14>KB9UNZ-7 Port=1 <C C P> 15:24:01T N0HI-14>KB9UNZ-7 Port=1 <C C P> 15:24:08T N0HI-14>KB9UNZ-7 Port=1 <C C P> 15:24:15T N0HI-14>KB9UNZ-7 Port=1 <C C P> 15:24:23T N0HI-14>KB9UNZ-7 Port=1 <C C P> If there's anyone on here that is in contact with N0HI that can inquire about it, I would appreciate it. Also is there any way to block the incoming connection? When the above activity is present, I can see a circuit to N0HI-1. I don't have a direct link with N0HI-7, so I'm not sure which AXUDP link the incoming connection is using. My best guesses are the links with either KE0GB-7 or W9GM-7 as they both have direct links to N0HI-7. Normally I keep the VHF radio set on high power because stations in my area are relatively far away. These repeated attempts to reach a station that is well out of range are causing my power supply fan to turn on and run unnecessarily unless I turn the power setting down on the radio. Thanks and 73, Lee K5DAT

HF Forwarding partners needed
18
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.

Hi, running at least the beta of 2025-03-03 in the configuration panel of the corresponding linmail.cfg the field SignoffMsg seemed to be projected also to ISPAccountName. It is fixed (thanks a lot for the coding!) in beta-version 6.0.24.68 (32 & 64 bit / 2025-03-17) but possibly needs to be checked at your system. 73 - Jochen Here with wrong data:
