Copy messages from PAT (Linux) system to Winlink Express (Win 11)
2
I'm exploring/learning to use Winlink for use by the local ARES/RACES group. Problem is I'm a Linux user (PAT-Winlink) but they are starting to use/rely on Winlink Express features. I have Winlink Express install and working in a KVM (Win 11) guest but would like to import the previous message from using PAT on my Linux system. I found this group but the topics I looked at so far seem targeted to getting messages to other message/mail systems. Anyone have the process documented for doing this. Well even a clue-stick would be appreciated. 73, Rod - K7ZBE --

Fails to build on OpenSuSE 15.2
6
Hi - I am attempting to install Paclink on my OpenSuSE 15.2 x64 system and am running into lots of warnings (which should be cleared up) and finally an error during the Make process causing a failure to complete the build for my system. I did check to be sure the requested libraries, links, etc were correct. I will post the output below (sorry, quite lengthy) from the steps I took (following the instructions in the README.MD file) and hopefully some friendly guru can guide me back into the light! Thanks in advance for any and all offers of help!

gmime 3.0 with Debian Bullseye/sid

Currently, while paclink-unix will build with gmime 3.0, it segfaults in mime2wl. More work needs to be done to port paclink-unix from gmime 2.6 to 3.0 See thread from github paclink-unix issues: Unable to build on Debian11 Bullseye https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/paclink-unix/issues/3 /Basil

Sending works; receiving needs help
5
Hello paclink-unix group, I recently installed and configured the following following the wiki page referenced throughout the documentation. Ubuntu 19.10 paclink-unix (from git; with postfix support) postfix Thunderbird I've configured everything, I believe, correctly and can successfully send messages using wl2ktelnet and Thunderbird as my MUA. The problem I'm having is on receiving the messages. I see them being downloaded but they're not showing in Thunderbird. I was able to find the incoming messages in the /usr/local/var/wl2k/outbox/ directory, which seems a little odd, so I'm hoping it's a simple postfix error somewhere. Any thoughts? 73, Kevin WH6OHM

Paclink Update
6
Is there any path forward to updating paclink-unix with a GUI, forms, templates and both the ARDOP and WINMOR protocols to be very similar to main WinLink? If the WinLink Team would consider a code release so some of us could work to compile for Linix and the Pi variants, I would be willing to help. Thanks, Ed, KD9FRQ

WL2KAX25 'RMS'

Local RMS gateway requires the input 'RMS' upon connection to access Winlink functions. Is there a way to automate this with wl2kax25? Kevin WA9VFD

unable to open spool file
4
hello, I am reinstalling paclink and using thunderbird with postfix. I keep getting "unable to open spool mail file". In the past I used a link that gives permission to use spol mail file. Its not going away this time. I removed thunderbird and started again and it continues. Also when you create nano /etc/postfix/transport I keep seeing a directory instead of a file and this has stopped my progess last time. And I have inbound and outbound mail not moving, I am running ubuntu 14.04 64 bit kernel 4.4.?. Steve kd5mkv

support for peer-to-peer messaging

paclink-unix now supports Winlink peer-to-peer messaging. It has been tested with these 3 clients: Airmail 3.3.081 RMS Express 1.5.11.0 paclink-unix 0.7 There are some basic configuration notes at the following link under Daemon Mode. https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/paclink-unix/blob/master/CONFIG.md /Basil n7nix

RMS Gateway problem

Joe, Please post your RMS Gateway problems to this yahoo group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LinuxRMS/info That's not the problem you are having. The channel xml file should be in this directory /etc/rmsgw Check the 'CHANNELFILE=' line in /etc/rmsgw/gateway.conf Make sure the 'channel name =' config matches the port name you have in /etc/ax25/axports <channel name="udr0" type="ax25" active="yes"> My axports file: #portname callsign speed paclen window udr0 N7NIX-2 9600 255 2

Paclink-Unix over PACTOR: unrecognized command (len 2)
3
Hello, after using Winlink Express and Airmail unter WINE I was glad to find a native solution to access Winlink over PACTOR on Linux. I am using Paclink-Unix now for some time on Debian Linux with Thunderbird/Movemail as email client, the access via telnet works quite fine. Today I was trying PACTOR with my DR-7400 modem on a Yaesu FT-857D. Unfortunatelly Paclink-Unix was not able to deliver the test message over PACTOR, I got the following error before the program quit: wl2kserial: unrecognized command (len 2): Sending the same message over Telnet was no problem. Recieving messages over PACTOR worked without problems. Please find the email and the logs on my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gfr6jg554b2m27d/AACRE0UtMjZIuAkoVr08EwIFa?dl=0 Do you have any suggestions? Greetings, Bodo HB9EWU

wl2kax25 not connecting
16
I am tying to get wl2kax25 to transmit mail. The connection keeps timing out. I am using a TNC-Pi and it is activating the PTT on the radio and transmitting. When I monitor listen -a during the attempt, I get: 0: fm VA7IHT to VE7VPR-10 ctl SABM+ 0: fm VA7IHT to VE7VPR-10 ctl SABM+ 0: fm VA7IHT to VE7VPR-10 ctl SABM+ 0: fm VA7IHT to VE7VPR-10 ctl SABM+ 0: fm VA7IHT to VE7VPR-10 ctl SABM+ 0: fm VE7PEP-8 to ID ctl UI pid=F0(Text) len 19 0000 Network Node (PEP). 0: fm VA7IHT to VE7VPR-10 ctl SABM+ 0: fm VA7IHT to VE7VPR-10 ctl DISC+ 0: fm VA7ARE-8 to ID ctl UI pid=F0(Text) len 22 0000 Network Node (497ARE). 0: fm VA7CBN to BEACON ctl UI pid=F0(Text) len 32 0000 VA7CBN-8 KA node Shawnigan Lake. 0: fm VE7AVV-8 to ID ctl UI pid=F0(Text) len 13 0000 Network Node. So, it would appear that I am transmitting, but not getting a response. I am definitely seeing something different than what is showing up for other transmissions. Is this indicating something? -- Ian Truelsen VA7IHT s/v Pilgrim's Progress
