?Thanks David,? ?I really appreciate your help.
I try not to ask questions w/o doing research on my end to try and figure it out first.? ?One of these days I'll be able to help others, but for now.? ?Just trying to grok it all.
Your suggestions worked,? my Direwolf test platform back replies to my winlink client (Winlink, soundmodem on a Win 10 pc directly connected to an ICOM 9700).? ?
I do have a couple questions though.
You talk about "linpac",? I tried various google searches and nothing to do with ham radio comes up.
Direwolf should be configured to use it's own unique SSID as should LinBPQ.? Usually, enduser stations should be configured with the silent -0 (zero) SSID aka "KK7CXF".? So what I would recommend is to configure LinBPQ to use KK7CXF (no SSID given) and then configure Linpac to use say KK7CXF-8.? The specific number doesn't matter but it should NOT conflict with the Linpac callsign+ssid.? If you ever use NETROM connections, I would then recommend to use SSIDs from -11 to -15 either.
I take Linpac and LinBPQ to mean the same, but that doesn't sit well with me as you were exact in what you were saying.
So the client and gateway talk, but I cannot pass mail from the client, nor does it pick up mail for me (KK7CXF).? ? I am concerned that I bpq32 is not setup to pass messages.? From the logs it looks like I am making a connection, and when I test it with the BPQ32 terminal it connects and appears to be OK.? ?I did get a "DONE!" from Steve Waterman when I requested sysop access so I assume it's not a permission thing, it's more of a timing thing that will get better when I move away from the Baofeng.? ?Still, if everything just worked, what would I learn...
I from the logs below, I think what's happening is that direwolf gets the connections (SABM),? acknowledges it (UA) passes that along to bpq32, and that makes the connections to CMS on the amazon cloud, then times out asking the client "are you there" (RR).? ? I wasn't able to find a document that has the "I cmd" to tell me what that does or what I should expect next.

I'm good with you telling me "go study this link that describes the protocol",? but perhaps a pointer as to where I should look.? ?Also, is there a place in direwolf where I can log the kiss traffic to really see what's passing back and forth between direwolf and LinBPQ?? ??
