Hi Rod and the few packetters left.

>Hi All, Lets get the ball rolling.
Will try, but in summer time, I am not to actif.
>#1 - One thinks that the packet network is user un-friendly.
What???
>The packet network has been used for & primarly used for BBS forwarding.
Well, now these day I'll say yes, but mids 80 early 90, a lots of chat
was done on packet, I was use to have some Chat Nodes, busy evrey evening
not those chat are empty.
>Lets make it so users can easily go from Node to Node.
if the user do the Command N once connected to a node, the list
will appear, what's more simple?
>Let us make a series of Nodes around the country & around the world.
it's not what we all try to do? but node like BBS come and goes with
out notice.
>Let us not limit nodes in an area.
As far I know the few nodes left are world wide open.
>Let us have a picture of links to nodes made easier for users.
Ok, this is what I do for the Province of Quebec, Sorry only
avail on Internet.

>OK - make the Node the entry point via RF or Telnet, or both,
Personnaly I put on my maps only nodes that have at least one RF port.
>with the links as AXUDP links; Using say port 93.
>Let us have BBS forwarding using AXUDP port 10093.
>[however if not convient for the Node, then any port used.]
>Let us have not a toooo rigid system.
That part I do agree, ve2pkt-3 and ve2pkt-4 use different ports, Mostly to
accommodate other nodes on AXUDP.
>Lets have a link map & connection associated with each Node.
this will take time, a lot's of time. Unless a genius in computor programming
…can write and application wich will contact evrey nodes on the list and plot them
on a map.
>[eg When a user types I for Info at a node, a list of connection paths is displayed
>for that Node - eg Canada = c 15 ve3uil-7]
100% agreed
>Let users send bulletins to where they can reach - ie what country & node, etc.
most of the reminding Bmost of the reminding BBS let do that all ready, otherwise no trafic will flow.
>I am undecided to use XRouter/DOS or BPQ32/Win2000 for the job as Node.
>Whatever we use the Node will have a link to my BPQMail & XFbb BBS's.
>XRouter is far more friendler than BPQ32 but unfortunately XRouter runs under DOS.
>With XRouter - links to other nodes are via different node ports;
>and with the Ports command you get a list of ports & Nodes.
Personnaly I have Xrouter and Xnet, xrouter run on a OLD PC, I tried it on a dos
emutation on linux, even on VMWare, but I was needed at least 4 coms ports for my radios
and I have only a old ISA digiboard card, and my linux PC is all PCI.
>In the next few days we will put a crude map onto my web site,
>at http://vk2dot.dyndns.org
I will look at it for sure.
