ttl, mss etc + http over netrom, ax.25

Does anyone have any suggested window size  mss for http  smtp via
netrom/ax.25?

For that matter, how about good default timeout values for sendmail,
etc AND is there a way to increase timeouts for Netscape and Arena?
Lynx seems to behave well.

Quite strange as my bash prompt is PS1="[\t][\u@\h:\w]$" and the

Baycom + QST MX614 modem

2000-01-27 Thread James S. Kaplan KG7FU

A few of you asked for copies of the January 2000 issue of QST's MX614
packet modem article.

I have scanned and zipped it to
"http://www.rio.com/~kg7fu/qst0100.zip"
(Since this is copywritten material, it will only stay on this site
for a few days.
This is a service to a few EU hams, as QST is not distributed to
newsstands in
most countries anymore, not an intentional breech of copyright laws.
May I
suggest some of you DL and PA hams pool your resources and get a
subscription
to QST yourselves? (no offense intended!)) Beware! These are
full-sized scans,
so the zip file is nearly 4.5MB.

I'm not going to re-post my modifications and suggestions, except for
the most
obvious; use ferrite beads, probably 43 material, on all the data,
audio and control
lines at the PCB or this thing will sing like a suckling pig just
before a Luau! The
original post may be found at
"http://www.hes.iki.fi/archive/linux-hams/21/0005.html"

Also at "http://www.rio.com/~kg7fu/ad2.zip" is a few pics of the
inside of a Yaesu
(Welz) AD-2 2m - 70cm "duplexer" (the CORRECT term is diplexer) with a
hand-drawn
schematic and parts list.

Be sure to check the pages at "http://www.rio.com/~kg7fu/home.html"

Unless things have changed significantly, the computing power required
to do *accurate*, MS, Tropo  EME predictions is well beyond that of
the average ham and his/her PC.

Interesting idea though, one could guage LOS terrestrial QSO
possibilities by keeping tabs on grids referenced say to an
mheard.dat file.

Like I said before, 1ft/pix is way overdone for ham stuff. Unless
you're into 3D-Ray Tracing
at frequencies above say 10GHz outdoors or low-power SS around 2-10GHz

HOWTO ax.25 + firewall [Was Re: Subject: sendmail + masq/ipfw solutions for multi-user system?]

2000-01-21 Thread James S. Kaplan KG7FU

Thanks for all the great replies on sendmail and DNS!

I have some direction now, but still am confused about how to
configure my lan
vs. my ampernet.

First, my lan is already working well, using 2.0.36 + ipfwadm + masq
and 192.168.x.x
addresses. We use a dial-on-demand ppp connection, bit it is usually
up 24 hours a day. I could leave it this way or change to 2.2.x like
my other Linux boxes on the lan.

So, do I re-address all the workstations to 44.26.x.x and continue to
run as normal? Do I
use ip alising and give the ax.25 boxes secondary or prinmary 192.168
addresses? Do I
use ipip and create dummy devices? Do I add a 2n nic to the firewall
and route 44.26.x.x differently than 192.168.x.x?

Second, I'd like sendmail or whatever MTA I end up with being able to
handle connections to the internet as well as smtp via radio without
too much effort. My guess is the key would be to decide first which
scheme to use above.

Thanks,

On Tue, 18 Jan 2000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 
 If sendmail is too tough, try 'exim' or 'postfix'. They're both quite
 powerful, and easier than sendmail to configure.

Perhaps I wasn't clear Does there exist a "how-to", examples or
explicit instructions on how to use sendmail for radio amprnet, radio pbbs,
local delivery and internet delivery ALL on the same box?

 The AX25-HOWTO was never going to cover that material. It is adequately
 covered in other HOWTO documents. Try the Networking and IP-Chains
 HOWTO's

From what I see, the networking and ip chains howto's are meant for
seasoned sysadmins and/or hardcore programmers. There just ain't
much in the way of "english language" material for the
non-programmer/non-nethead. Again, does there exist any docs
on how to ip forward/gateway radio amprnet services with kernel 2.2.x?
  
 The domain.txt file, I think (it's been a good number of years since I
 ran NOS) is just the equivalent of the /etc/hosts file.

It is. However, I can't seem to find any resources to utilize such
information. The closest I've seen is the DNS-HOWTO, again does not
provide any assistance for ham radio folks who don't have Ph.D's in net-speak
or c++-speak. Can anyone tell me how to configure BIND so amprnet lookups work
while not breaking real internet DNS?
   
 I personally think you'd be better off fixing the actual problem though
 (the DNS problem or whatever it actually is) than naiively working
 around it with manual name-address mappings.

Ok, I'll bite. How do I fix it? One problem is my isp's DNS has an entry:

Server:  ns1.rio.com
Address:  206.96.130.10

Non-authoritative answer:
0.1.26.44.in-addr.arpa  name = crv.lan.ampr.org

Authoritative answers can be found from:
44.IN-ADDR.ARPA nameserver = hamradio.ucsd.edu

etc.

But a traceroute from rio.com reveals no route to host, thusly:
traceroute to 44.26.1.0 (44.26.1.0), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  gatekeeper (206.96.130.254)  1 ms  1 ms  1 ms
snip
10  sdsc-gw.san-bb1.cerf.net (134.24.12.26)  406 ms  380 ms  439 ms
11  192.12.207.5 (192.12.207.5)  406 ms  471 ms  439 ms
12  muir-rs-backbone.ucsd.edu (132.239.254.11)  469 ms  386 ms  386 ms
13  ampr.org (44.0.0.1)  381 ms *  465 ms
14  * * *

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't address groups such as 192.168 and 44.0
considered "private" nets and technically aren't supposed to be routed via
internet? Even if they were, the ampr.org docs clearly state that 44.26.1.0 is
for "testing" and is not to be assigned. AND, why does the rest of the world
know to route 44.26.1.0 to ucsd.edu/ampr.org, yet ampr.org doesn't have it?
My local net just happens to be 44.26.1see what the problem is now?

Like I've been saying, I'm neither a programmer nor a seasoned net
professional. As such, I need a bit more "1-2-3..." guidance than some
of you. I'm sure by the posts I see here that there are many more "Linux
Newbies", new hams, hams new to packet and just plain old dumb hams like myself
that would be more inclined to get heavily into ax.25 networking, instead of
turned off, if it weren't for the lack of simplistic docs and negative
responses from a few vocal, but harsh, hams-in-the-know. 

I have a myriad of great ideas, application deviations and enthusiasm for
amateur packet. I also have a great deal of real-world RF experiences to
share and relate to after being a broadcast engineer, microwave maintenance
technician and been doing packet radio almost since it's inception. I
would happily toss Linux ax.25 stuff for DOS or Windows if those platforms
offerings would suit my needs.  

I have the greatest respect and admiration for all the programmers and
individuals who have made Linux what it is. I'm continually bafflled by the
responses some programmers and "experts" give to reasonable questions from
folks who don't quite have the same level of understanding, experience or
education as they.

a) ability to do tnc command mode e.g. not just KISS mode.

b) easy to install, no wierd lib dependancies or complicated

c) built with X awarness in mind, if we want an X front-end too.

d) "hot keys" for user specified commands  external scripting.

 TNT uses textmode and so it can be used over telnet. Additionally an

 TNT should have all features you request, and a new stable version

 On the other side you also can run X-programs like LinKT, by setting

Re: ax25 help

Brian,

You need to read the (somewhat outdated) AX.25-HOWTO and the docs for
your NOS.

I am running several nodes with CLX packet cluster, http, smtp, irc,
ftp, telnet
etc. Each PC and each installation is unique, so help is difficult
without detailed
info on your troubles.

For first steps, I suggest reading the FAQ's and HOWTO's until you can
recite
them in your sleep, then un-tar and install your packages. One of the
more common
problems is correct file/directory permissions.

E-mail me off the list if you like, but I'm no expert and no

Subject: Re: Routing problem [was: ARP problem]


 Very good idea. Thank you.
 After looking at the docs of ax25rtd, I knew that this is exactly what I
 need.

 Here I think ax25rtd might help. I understand it is supposed to do just
 that hack automatically. I'm not sure however as I haven't used it.

 My "only" problem now is, that ax25rtd doesn't run.  :(

 oe8rsq:/etc/ax25 # startproc /usr/sbin/ax25rtd
 bind Control socket: No such file or directory

 By the way, I've found in the manpage of axparms, that
 axparms -route add port callsign [digis] [-ipmode V|D]
 is able to set VC/Datagram from each route individually.
 ax25rtd goes a step further and is able to set it automatically to
 the mode the calling station uses. (unfortunately after the kernel
 sends the answer - not good if the other station uses this autoset
 too)

 Thanks
 Robert



port managemenet vs services?

1999-10-08 Thread James S. Kaplan KG7FU

I'm trying to get a bit further in my configuration than before.

Basically, I need some advice on how to set up ports and nodes, etc.

I have 3 9612 tnc's on ttyS0, ttyS1 and ttyS2, attached with mkiss and
kissattach. They map
out to:

axttyhardware
t1p1ttyq0tnc1 port1
t1p2ttyq1tnc1 port2
t2p1ttyq2tnc2 port1
t2p2ttyq3tnc2 port2
t3p3ttyq5tnc3 port2

I have no radio for tnc3 port1.

The question is how to map netrom nodes and hardware ports. The tables below
should
give you an idea of what I'm up to:

KG7FU radio ports (hardware)

speed channel tnc+port descriptionin.axports

1200 145.06 t1p1  (1200 Baud) User Port   t1p1
9600 223.700 t1p2  (9600 Baud) User Port and LAN (DXTMB) t1p2
1200 223.46 t2p1  (1200 Baud) CLX Link W7AT  t2p1
9600 430.05 t2p2  (9600 Baud) LAN (SALEM)   t2p2
(none 1200 none t3p1  (not active))
9600 434.700 t3p2  (9600 Baud) User Port and LAN (CLXTST) t3p2

KG7FU virtual ports

ssid hardware association program in /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf

-1 t1p1  KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/sbin/node node
-2 t1p1  KG7FU-2:EUGCLX /usr/local/clx/bin/net_usr net_usr -x %u
-3 t1p1  KG7FU-4:ECHAT /usr/sbin/convers convers %u
-4 t1p1  KG7FU-4:PMS /usr/sbin/pms pms -o %u kg7fu
-5 t1p1  KG7FU-5:#AXSP /usr/sbin/axspawn axspawn %u
-1? t1p2  KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/sbin/node node
-6 t2p1  KG7FU-5:#CLX /usr/sbin/node node
-1? t2p2  KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/bin/node node
-1? t3p2  KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/sbin/node node

In other words, I have a need for users connnecting to radio ports t1p1,
t1p2 and t3p2 to
all see kg7fu-1:LBS. This is to maintain compatibility with existing
hardware nodes. I also
want to provide additional services on t1p1 without having to resort to
wampes or some other
frontend.

How would you accomplish this?

Re: SuSe Linux v6.2 question

1999-10-07 Thread James S. Kaplan KG7FU

Don't use SaX for configuring. Use XF86Setup and select a card based on the
chipset manufacturer, NOT the card manufacturer.

For the Diamond Stealth it's probably a S3 or S3V chipset.

 My sincerest thanks to all that responded to my plea for help. I now have
 WuFTPD running satisfactorily, so I am on the home stretch.

 I still can't get the X-server operating correctly. I am running a
"Diamond
 Stealth 3D-2000 Multimedia"  (PCI) video board and no matter what I do,
 X-windows fails to work. I'm thinking of maybe pulling that board out and
 substituting a Matrox G400 or similar board. Hopefully I can gain some
 success on that last crucial stage of my SuSE install. I'd be grateful to
 hear your experiences with the X-server, specifically suggestions on how
to
 overcome video board anomolies...

 Thanks in advance!

Check /etc/inetd.conf

Try commenting out the default ftp service and uncommenting either the
wu.ftpd or proftpd lines.
One or the other only!

Kernel ax.25 stuff and clx work fb now...

Subject: SuSe Linux v6.2 question



 Howdy,

 I recently installed SuSe Linux, v6.2, kernel 2.2.10, in hopes that I can
get
 that iteration of our beloved operating system working with the
AX25-utils,
 Net-tools, etc, so as to allow me to run native code while doing away with
 TNOS v2.30, which is no longer supported.

 I got the SuSe Linux package installed with minimum strain, and am
impressed
 that things that were extremely difficult to get properly configured in RH
 and other versions of Linux are now accomplished with a few keyclicks in
 YaST. Specifically I am talking about PPP for use in setting up a full
time
 internet to amateur packet radio gateway in the Tacoma metropolitan area,
 something which has been a dream of mine for a number of years...

 Well, I found that once everything was installed that FTP appeared not to
be
 enabled and/or configured... Referring to the SuSe Linux v6.2 manul, there
is
 supposed to be a menu in YaST to set FTP to active, set permissions, set
 paths, etc However I have not been able to reach the menu in question.
 Can someone help me on this? How do I configure and enable FTP?  I am
stuck
 until I can turn everything on.

 Thanks for your consideration.

I know it's been posted before...

Could someone please refresh me with archived messages and/or a rundown on
"how-to"
netrom nodes with 2.2.x kernels?

Running SuSE 6.2 beta 2 (Kai?)

Thanks,

2 Soundcards with 2.2.x

With 2.0.36 adding a few lines to autoconf.h with a second soundblaster's
settings gets it compiled and functional. 

How do you accomplish it with 2.2.x?

ghostview, xpdf, acrobat reader and several other X apps do a fine
job with .pdf's.

Interesting note, .pdf is merely .ps with LZW compression.
