Hello Paula, Danny, System Operators, Packet Users
and Supporters of the 'Network'
Nice to see you back on Paula.
It's good to see an increase in the amount of comments being made
recently. Here is my feedback in response to the various bulletins.
Being hooked on Packet Wireless since the 1984-1986 when we first
experimented and learnt with the Cambridge Packet program.
Remember that system?, then the picking and poking in 6502 and Z80
assembly code. 'My grey cells' as they are, I cannot remember what we
did with that.
Expect it was sending and receiving binary files over 144MHz. I seem to
remember 'Kermit', burning Eproms for use on the BBCB Computer involved
as well..
AX25 came to Caterham in 1986 as Digi-Peaters, then progressed as Node
single, multiple nodes, NetRom, TheNet infrasture (GB7CP/GB7CR) grew and
expanded supporting AX25 IP amprnet, Network linking on 2m and 70cm,s.
Supporting all services (Live Chat, one to one, file transfer, web
access etc) that needed to be carried reaching it's peak in 2000 with 16
TheNet Nodes operational in three stacks(sites). All privately supported
by G4APL and G0SYR.
Where as since then the UK Wireless network has fallen apart. Since the
the dedicated that are left re-establishing and keeping the links
running. The Current German Hamnet has taken this to a very high Level
in recent years using WiFi on the 2.4 and 5GHz Amateur Frequencies.
Though I understand this is sponsered by Gernam Clubs. Other EU
countries are also linked to this network.
The GB7CIP BBS does control the access to Distribution files and has a
standard set that's requested from forwarding partners.
Though that bulletins which are 'targeted' at other zones are forwarded
back out to the targeted Country, or Continent.
My 'hobby horse' for decades, has been to ensure that the SP mail
reaches it's destination.
This is, where I would like to see all BBS's run the PING PONG mail
response servers.
So that a user and 'I' can send a SP PING Message and see if they get
the reply back containing the outbound routing. The reply message
receive the user reads the message in verbose mode to see the reply
path. e.g. SP PING @ GB7CIP.#32.GBR.EU
also add a /ACK at the end of the message to get a basic reply.
(Hopefully)
The ones that fail to reply the users, sysops can test the paths and fix
the broken ones.
Of course this does not work with systems running JNOS/TNOS mail systems
as far as I know.
The number of weekly Users that log on to the (not Sysops on other
system) GB7CIP BBS are 19 to 21. Accessing via 2metre, HF Pactor and
Telnet access.
These totals excludes those that access gb7cip-5 node for other
services.
With my User hat on, I enjoy reading some of the banter, recipes and
jokes that pass though my BBS that makes me smile.
It is also good to see those that are coming back and switching on their
old packet systems and the OLD, NEW systems coming online..
Hopefully learn about and how to confgure SP Hierarchical routing on
their BBS systems.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish EVERYONE that is reading
this
A Happy Christmas
and remember it's a
Season of Goodwill of All Persons.
Last of all.
A Special Thank You to my Users
