Hi,
Can someone recommend a linux agw terminal?
I see a lot of windows agw terminals, but can't find any linux agw terminals..
Thanks,
Victor.

I'm looking for such a thing, too. Something similar to would be OK. But I would prefer a program that works from the command line, so I could use it on a server with no UI. Something like `telnet` or `ssh`, where the connection parameters are on the command line, the program's standard input is sent via AX.25 and data received via AX.25 goes the program's standard output.
|
QtTerm can be used with AGWPE and works with Direwolf:
I haven't used it enough to recommend it (or not), and there's no mention of license, but it's freely downloadable.

For a GUI only option, check out John G8BPQ's
QtTermTCP multi-platform terminal program:
??
For a CLI / TUI only option, I'm not aware of any AGW-enabled
terminal programs.? I would love to add something like this into
Linpac but this codebase is so hard coded to Linux that it would
be easier to just start over and write something from scratch.?
I've heard of a few potential new programs that might fill this
need but I haven't seen any working code as of yet.

If you're connecting via AGWPE, though, you could be using a UI on any machine that has TCP access to your server running Direwolf.
For terminal use, depending on your needs, you can use something as simple as 'call' in Talk mode or Linpac, which provides a curses UI.

From the command line, isn't axcall what you are looking for??

The original poster was looking for an AGW terminal which I assumed
they were looking for a GUI interface but then a different user
hijacked the thread asking for a CLI AGW terminal but I didn't catch
that.? Yes, Linux's axcall program should work for CLI needs but it
only works with Linux AX.25 stack.

Yes, QtTermTCP is the only one I'm aware of.? I use it all the time to connect to my BPQ packet node.? The primary interface in QtTermTCP is raw telnet for connecting to BPQ, but it does support AGW connections also.

It looks like QtTerm is what I'm looking for. It can be curses based, or graphical. Just something that would allow me to connect to port 8000 of direwolf and talk to a bbs.
Thanks,
More ideas are welcome.

look into "linpac" and, of course, axcall.

I typically use QtTerm or EasyTerm running on Wine. EasyTerm comes with a mailbox.

The original request was looking for AGW compatible programs.?
Neither Linpac or axcall offer that today.

Can you help me run ? I downloaded the file??and installed?qt5-default, but no joy: $ sudo apt-get install qt5-default[snip]

bash: ./QtTermTCP: No such file or directory
$ ls -l QtTermTCP

I wouldn't recommend to try running random binaries
on your system.? Too often, things just won't work and testing on
u20.04, I too see this error:
--
strace -f ./QtTermTCP
execve("./QtTermTCP", ["./QtTermTCP"], 0x7ffcd5bfa028 /* 50 vars
*/) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
strace: exec: No such file or directory
+++ exited with 1 +++
--
Instead, I would recommend to follow the instructions and compile
the program from scratch.? This exercise might not be suitable for
a new Linux user as most of G8BPQ's projects and documentation is
intended for expert users only.? He also often glosses over lots
of details like the requirements to install various development
libraries, etc.

?? If you need to run on other Linux or similar systems you may be
able to compile from source. Download
,
unzip and run qmake then make
?? The program uses the Qt Framework, so needs some runtime files.

Just compiled QTTerm and after some configuration it worked.
Fabulous!
Thanks all!

Another way to run is to first install packages that support execution of 32-bit code on a 64-bit operating system:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 qt5-default:i386
If that's insufficient, you might also try:?apt-get install multiarch-support
?

Also there is a 64-bit binary available among the beta downloads:
Actually there are two, but the one above is the later version.? This one works fine for me in Ubuntu 20.04 on a Celeron laptop.
