I removed that, set the board to IRQ7 and it works. The PC100 still doesn't work! I have further work to do. The PET-SCC needs lots of delays compiling in. Look in the scc.c file (in the with the sources) and change #undefine scc_delay to #define scc_delay (or something like that!!) It's quite straight forward.

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 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. - James S.

Richard, Exactly. Sorry I didn't make that clearer (I'm carrying on the same dialog on two lists, and that's confusing). I ran the unsub command and then re-subscribed on the linux-hams list, and that seems to work, as my test message indicates. I did not go through this yet on the linux-newbie list because it is where the issue is being discussed, and I did not want to risk loosing any messages. Perhaps in spite of people throwing stones at ORBS, I suspect the root of my own problem was a change in my local machine hostname as I switched it from being on a LAN to a stand-alone workstation. I subscribed under one hostname, and when I tried to communicate with the list server under another, got into trouble, forcing me to use Netscape, which for some reason is dumber. As for the ReplyTo header, that is probably a function of how my mail utility works, since it is what assigns strings to the variout outgoing mail fields. In my case, I'm using rmail under emacs as my mail handler (although I just heard from someone who seemed surprised that was possible!). Haines
Re: test (ORBS)
Likewise. I had a mailing bounce the other day. My ISP is pretty diligent about spam, but it seems a user ran a server with relaying enabled and ORB is now blocking everybody.

Thanks for the nice reply Nate! Yes, I'd like to see your config files. You can replace hostnames, and ip's, etc with bogus info for security if you like. Like I've stated before, I'm no geniusso I need a bit more explicit instructions as well as some working examples. Every installation is unique so those configs help when the supplied defaults and docs don't work. Cheers!

It seems that since I subscribed to this list, I changed my local machine's hostname. On the theory that consequently my machine's identity was no longer the same as subscribed to linux-hams, I unsubscribed and resubscribed, and that seems to have fixed things. If you are inclined to try this and find it produces positive results, I'd sure appreciate your letting me know. This solution is not difficult, but people sure need to be aware of it. Did you change your hostname? Before the fix I just mentioned, I received list message via sendmail and rmail, but to send messages out, I had to bypass them by using Netscape. Is that what you do?

Help needed with soundmodem/tfkiss/tnt
I am running kernel 2.0.35 and 2.1.42a ax25 utils. The listen and call functions are working fine but I would like a terminal program. I compiled and installed tfkiss and tnt but I am having difficulty pulling it all together. I have limited knowledge of pseudo ttys. I've searched the archive, but there isn't a great deal of info about soundmodem/tfkiss/tnt. In my startup script I have: net2kiss -sfvaz -i sm0 /dev/ptyp2 & this makes ptyp2 a link to ttyp0. Is that right. I expected ttyp2 this line also turns the console into a listen terminal. I think that is right. In tfkiss.ini is the kiss device the master or slave end of the pseudo tty? I assume master (ptyp2) In tnt.ini is the kiss device the master or slave end of the pseudo tty? I assume master (ptyp2) I assume "/dev/" is required in these statements. I hope that someone can help me with this. If additional information is required just let me know. Thanks to all on board.

I have been using exim for several months now (in all sorts of configurations, for professional and amateur work) and I cannot recommend it too highly. If you want information see http://www.exim.org It seems to be very compatible with sendmail "specials" (such as /etc/aliases, .forward etc) unlike other MTAs such as qmail.

Re: Subject: sendmail + masq/ipfw solutions for multi-user system?
Hi James. I wish I could offer my time tested and bulletproof solution, but I never deleved into Sendmail further than getting it to route my local and ISP mail correctly. Perhaps my config files might give you some ideas. Just this last week I found something in my old Slackware '96 that wasn't Y2K compliant. On 11 January Sendmail (8.8.8) began reporting name server lookup failures on my ISP's mail server. Everything thing else worked fine and my ISP mail was delivered fine, but outgoing SMTP mail simply stopped working. So, rather than fight it I switched this box over to Debian Slink (2.1) to match my laptop and quit fighting the subtle differences between the two. At this point I haven't delved into the default Debian MTA Exim further than getting local mail routed and having my ISP mail routed correctly. It looks to be an easier program to learn than Sendmail, and I'll have to start working with it once things settle down from the OS switch (still getting my favorite apps back and running in the new glibc env). Btw, if you're interested, I have a copy of O'Reilly's Sendmail book (a.k.a. "the bat book") I purchased in late '98. It covers up to version 8.8.7 I think and seemed current for 8.8.8. Although I understand some config methods have changed with 8.9.x I'd bet it would still be close enough to be useful along with docs from the sendmail site outlining the changes. I used a highlighter on it in a few places and made some notes in pencil in it, but not too many otherwise it is in excellent condition (hasn't been dunked in coffee!). I'd be happy to part with it for half of new price if it'd be useful to you. Also, let me know and I'll send you copies of my old config files. 73, de Nate >> -- Packet | N0NB @ WF0A.#SCKS.KS.USA.NOAM | "None can love freedom Internet | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | heartily, but good Location | Wichita, Kansas USA EM17hs | men; the rest love not Wichita area exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | freedom, but license." http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | -- John Milton

While SoundBlasters and compatible cards (like my good old ESS AudioDrive) only needed one module called sound under the 2.2.x kernels now there are four modules: sound soundcore uart401 sb I have to unload them all in order to get soundmodem loaded properly. > But when initialising the card with sethdlc you must set two filter > curves, one for rx, one for tx.

Go to www.byterunner.com Take a look at the fourport cards they offer. They work 100% under Linux (in standard mode) If you do buy one and need help installing it drop me a line and I'll tell you how I did it on my linux boxes here. 73 for now de Paul. kb2shu@kb2shu.#sca.ca.usa.noam kb2shu.ampr.org [44.16.2.46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.moonlink.net/~paul
Subject: sendmail + masq/ipfw solutions for multi-user system?
As the available tools for Linux Hams increases, so does the complexity of the system..! I am running several Linux pc's for a variety of services, some ax.25 and some supporting our lan (firewall, etc.). I need to consolidate two of the servers and am running into some configuration issues. 1) sendmail is tough to configure!! I need in/out tcp mail to the net/lan AND very much desire ampr.org and pbbs smtp mail in and out. I've looked and zmail (I think!) and mailgw and am not impressed with the documentation. In other words, it seems like the others have their issues and configuration difficulties just like sendmail. Has anyone a similar situation and can share some tips or cinfiguration files/scripts/etc? Is there another solution out there for the "small network"? We run 6 workstations and don't need something grossly overdone. 2) Along the same lines, my old firewall worked just fine with 2.0.3x kernels. With the change, some new hardware and new libs, etc I'm running 2.2.x (ipchains, etc). The AX.25 HOW-TO is fairly out-of-date and lacking some details in discussing firewalls, ip forwarding and "bridging" amprnet radio stuff to/from ethernet/internet. Is anyone doing similar work, ie: many services on one box? Routing is a bear sometimes and unfortunately, my dns has an illegal entry for 44.26.1.0/24 and my addresses are 44.26.1.x!! (Actually, 44.26.1.0 shows up in the amprnet listing at tapr.org!!!) Is there a solution for ampr name lookups like the old ka9q domain.txt file? 3) We have a few Windows workstations and I use QVTNet 4.0 (ansi terminal emulator) to telnet over to the various Linux pc's. the vt220 terminfo is lacking in the keymapping department. Has anyone any experience in building a terminfo entry or can suggest one that allows such keys as BS AND DEL, PageUP/DN, F9-12, etc? I'm a diehard SuSE fan, running 6.3b2 right now (waiting for the release version to come in the mail so I can review it for the Eugene Linux User's Group!). The primary ham server is running two netrom nodes, CLX, apache, ftp, telnet and shell. Eventually I'll add FBB or DPBOX to the mix. The net server also runs apache, ftp, telnet etc. I need to combine the two, get sendmail working for ampr addresses and resolve my ethernet<>amprnet routing issues. Any hints, help and suggestions (besides reading OLD man pages and HOW-TO's :+) greatly appreciated. Beer/and/or pizza certificates could be arranged if I get this done this week!

Re: Help
Any fdisk will do it.. the /mbr option will wipe the mbr...period. You might want to check your ide controller & drivers...Windowz is a lot more picky about its drivers than unix/linux, and probably any other older OS. ]On Mon, 17 Jan 2000, Dan Simmons wrote: > Try using the fdisk that comes with Win 98.

MS-400 4 Port Serial Card
Hello, has anybody had any experience with this card under linux (i am still using 2.0.36, must upgrade to 2.2 soon). The card only does int 2 3 4 and 5 so 5 is the only option. Also does anybody have any suggestions of a source of 4 port serial card suitable for linux. I should have an ast 4 port clone card here somewhere but carnt find it. 73 Peter Hallgarten VK3AVE President Melbourne Packet Radio Group Inc. Sysop VK3BBS Melbourne Packet Radio Group Packet Inc.

Re: Help
Try using the fdisk that comes with Win 98. I think it is different than the rest.
