Re: Components to get full TNC?

Yes!!! I agree, linbpq does seem like a lot just to get TNC2 like emulation.?

my goal is to build a digital workstation that has the ability to complete any basic pack a task for the purposes of instruction to my ham club, ARES team, and Scouting organization.

1. Be able to locally login to ARES BBS for messages. (Minicom? linPac?)

2. Use my RPi to do #1 from a remote PC via telnet/ssh such that it's a shared resource at ARES deployment.

Either of those probably means I have the keyboard to keyboard texting also, as that's what the BBS is at the other end.

That's the basics. I want to eventually understand each app and what it can do in this space. When would I use kissattach vs Direwolf? Or look, I can "ping" over an ax.25 connection. And eventually get RMS Gateway running so I can use IMAP from attached stations to send Winlink Mail. But just the text basics first.

I did get LinPac started on my RPi, but did not know how to answer all of its start up questions about my hierarchy? But it looks like a neat terminal program, if I could get it connected :-)

I am very appreciative of any help you can give me. :-)

Hello Nick

?

Would anyone be able to tell me what software (Compass Linux on a Raspberry Pi) would be used with direwolfs KISS TNC port ability to get full TNC command emulation? IE: So I can just connect minicom or telnet to the port and issue commands like I do with a hardware TNC2 on my Kenwood HT & D710ga?


I'm only aware of linbpq32 with it's TNC2 emulation will do something like this.? It's a bit overkill to run a complete BBS package to emulate a TNC though.


I saw this once in a forum.. something like pilinbpq or something stood up the full TNC, but I am having trouble finding it. Anyone using direwolf with othersoftware to get a full TNC2?


Can you tell us what you want to do?? Do you just want to make classic packet connections?? Send UI-packets aka beacons?? Monitor AX.25 traffic??? If so, Linux's native AX.25 applications can do those things on a basic level using Direwolf.? There are also higher level programs out there that are far more powerful to emulate host-mode programs like PakRatt, PkGold, etc.?? I can speak for Linpac which I maintain for Linux:

a full HOWTO is here:?


There are other packet programs out there for Linux too that are worth checking out:
