Whatever happened to Brian Lantz's TACS (Tampa Advanced Convers Server)?
I had a conversation with Brian a few years ago, trying to get tpp under
a GPL license, but he said this is almost impossible because of all
the code from different people which is included.

He however told me that he would write TACS from scratch, and put it
under GPL. It might be worthwile contacting him, to see what the status
is. His server is already named TACS, so he might be running it already...

 When trying to run wires.tcl I get the following error message:
 
 Error in startup script: invalid command name "graph"
 while executing
 "graph .xy.xyview -title "Top view, North is right""

 It seems blt does not recognize 'graph' command (!).
 I suspect it is a blt installation problem, but I wasn't able to fix it
 because docs are very poor.
 

I have attached a patch, that should solve your problem.

- Unpack W5GFE.tar.gz in some directory, say /tmp.
- put W5GFE.patch.gz in /tmp.
- Type 'gzip -cd W5GFE.patch.gz|patch -p0' in /tmp

Now check how blt has to be called. You might have to change the lines:

1. #!/usr/bin/wish -f
2.
3. package require BLT

with:

1. #!/usr/bin/bltwish -f

or wherever you keep bltwish. This only is for azpatterns.tcl, elevpatterns.tcl
and wires.tcl.

Also, check the paths to wish and tclsh.
Please let me know if it works.

 I've just started trying to use TNT and I confess, I can't figure it out.

 I can see my session on the monitor window (F11), but not
 communicate with it!


It is a bug in tnt. Basically, kernel AX.25 support is not working.
See matthias' posting.

I was responsible for the 1.7 version of tnt for debian and did not
bother to package 1.8, because of the broken support for kernel AX.25.
At the moment, tnt is in orphaned, because I did not want a broken tnt
version to end up in the debian distribution.

When 1.9 comes out, I will give it another try. I hope the new
ax25 library will be supported. 
If all goes well, maybe I can package it again for debian 2.2.

 It is version 1.7 from Debian. What am I doing wrong?
 Also, how can I set what call to send UI frames to? I couldn't
 find it in the doco.

ANNOUNCE: linux amateur radio software database

1999-08-04 Thread Joop Stakenborg


After several weeks of testing we are proud to announce
the LINUX AMATEUR RADIO SOFTWARE DATABASE.

The database can be viewed at http://radio.linux.org.au

The startup page will show you new software which has 
been entered in the last month. You will see buttons,
which will allow you to browse the database by section,
sorted by date, title, or subsection.

There are 2 buttons on the main page for adding software
packages and sending feedback to the database maintainers.
When you add a package, it will be held back until it has
been reviewed by one of the maintainers.

Credits for the web-pages go to Terry Dawson, VK2KTJ.
Terry has used PHP3, a powerful HTML language to talk 
to a MySQL database where the records are stored.
The records were taken and updated from 
http://www.casema.net/~aba, which means these pages will
soon be obsolete, as will be the HAM-HOWTO, if this
database will prove to be useful.

We hope this software database will encourage hams to write
and share amateur radio software for linux.

Thanks,

Joop

 Hi,
 A new ham software database has been up for a few days now. It is to replace

 the new one is a far cry from what on casema server we were offerred.
 It looks ugly and is unreadable. I don't want to descourage the authors, who
 kill themselves doing stuff for us, but if things remain the way they are now
 then we are doomed to total failure: out of date ax25how-to, liquidation of
 ham-how-to and ugly software database. Jee, is this a kind of alien aggression
 on the ham community or what?


Let's wait a while and see what will happen. The site is up for only
a few days now. I am sure it will improve! 

Like you say, people kill themselves doing stuff for the hamradio
community. You cannot expect to get what you want 100% of the time.
We do this in our spare time. Maybe you would like to pay one
of us, to get all this work finished? Or maybe you would like
to spend some of YOUR spare time and start working on something?
 
 Anyway, I grabbed WDBI, installed it. And felt so elated to see my database
 look like a bird. You can update, delete, insert remotely. Perhaps this would
 be the way?
 
 Also, I got dbengine and it looked even prettier than WDBI. It is a web
 interface to many database engines. It uses perl and DBI, DBD drivers. More
 importantly, it worked out of the box! 


Tell us more. Where did you get it? What is it.
 
 Unfortunately I am not a database expert:-


Neither am I. Neither is terry. But at least he found the courage
to start learning about it and he even got something going now.

I say he did very well !

  Slackware and I'm afraid there's a libc6 problem. Don't have time to
  trouble shoot the thing. But if I could learn what was done for debian
  then a RPM might be possible for Red Hat users.
 
 Karl,
 
 Can you tell me what problems you had compiling it (like specific
 error messages in particular source files)? I did not have to make any
 changes to get it to run on libc6 specifically. The only changes I made
 were to make it fit Debian policy like file locations.
 
 I do not have a Red Hat machine here to try it on, nor access to one.
 I will help out anyone who wants to try building it. I don't know
 squat about building RPM packages though.


Hamish, you could use alien, from the debian distribution to convert
sattrack.deb to rpm. It's real easy.

 Hi Guys,
 
 Has anyone changed the timeout for users connecting to nnrpd, I am talking
 about the initial 10 seconds it gives, and also the 180 seconds when the
 user actually connacts and has asked for newsarticals. If this means
 changeing and recompiling then ok. I am using inn 2.2
 as installed via Mandrake-linux btw. Everything is working fine otherwise.

Yes, you have to change it in the source code and recompile.
There is no other way.

Re: linux-hams is sloooooow..

1999-01-07 Thread Joop Stakenborg

Now we know the slowness is caused by vger, can we do
something about this? I think the list could benefit
from a better responsiveness

How about asking around, to set up a dedicated server
for the mailing list. Or install a mailserver on 
another box, I was thinking of:

www.qsl.net, I think Al would notreally mind if we moved
to his server.
zone.pspt.fi, the place were all the AX.25 stuff is stored,
would be a greate place to run the list.
www.debian.org, they support development of free
software, they host mailing lists related to that and
we develop free software, don't we?

 Hello folks,
 
 Looking for a text based (for 3 or 4 vt100 terminals) multi-user logging 
 programme for use at Jamboree stations etc.
 

I don't think one exists.
have a look at http://radio.linux.org.au in the 'logging' section.

 OK, I could write one, but there's no point in re-inventing the wheel.
 
 

Re-inventing can sometimes lead to a better design.

Re: linux-hams global index

 I think it's time to have one global and mantained main page for linux 
 hams, with links to:
 
 
 * Howtos
 * Distribution packages (rpms) of axutils
 * Links to current nettools, and patches
 * Links to devices not yet included in the kernel (yam)
 * Links to protocols not yet 100% included in the kernel (rose)
 etc...
 

I noticed today that the HAM-HOWTO really needs to be updated.
The links in this HOWTO are in a real mess, someone should work
on this HOWTO on a regular basis, so this could again be a 
document for this kind of questions.

Some other places you might try is filewatcher.org or
the Linux Hamradio Applications and Utilities Homepage which I
am working on. They are at http://www.casema.net/~aba.

I would not mind if my homepage would be more the work of a group of 
people, add some more features, we could set up a couple of mirrors 
too Whatsay?

 
 This page should be supported by all, and announced monthly. That will be
 THE LINUX HAMS index.
 
 I think it's more important that the pages are continously updated than to
 be nice.
 
 There is several indexes now (some very nice), so maybe their authors
 could separate the "hard work", work in collaborative mode and give us one
 email to communicate the links to be added in this index. 
 

Good idea julian, I agree with you.

Re: 6pack

 Tryed to compile 6pack on my Redhat with 2.0.35 kernel but I
 get plenty of warnings like:

These are just warnings. If it compiles ok you can use it.
The warning probably mean that 6pack has been developed
with an older c library. Nothing to worry about.

 Can't I  have 6pack with this kernel or have i done something else the wrong
 way?
 Should I have the source in a specific directory when I compile?

I have started the "linux hamradio applications and utilities" homepage.

Let me know what you think, is this a good idea? The URL is:
