FBB and Beacon.sys files

I just noticed that my installation of the beacon.sys files for each of my 
ports in the port.sys file of Xfbb  broadcasts not only that there are new 
messages but broadcasts all the titles of those new messages.  Not good if 
you just received a download of 20 or so bulletins/messages.

Just wondering in the beacon.sys file what paramter(s) I should remove or 
adjust to control these broadcasts..??

Enquiry on KISS on a Serial PORT


Hi

I wonder if anybody can help me?

I need to set-up a serial port on Suse Linux 9 running Kernel 2.4.2 ......
on which the kiss apps, tools & libs are already part of the kernel.

Requirements:
1.    FBB connected to this serial port and this port is connected to a
Flexnet box (KISS interface works perfectly to DATA Engine in AGW) with a
full duplex NULL MODEM cable DAMA.

2.    DXSpider connected to this same serial port as well and also available
on the flexnet.

3.    Call signs FBB will be ZS0DLD-0,  DXspider will be ZS0DLD-1,

Is there anybody that can help me with this?

Thank you

Re: ROSE lockup fix

Hi Ralf,

I applied your rose patch to the more recent kernel 2.6.15.2 and it 
seems to work fine as there are no more spinlock recursion related to 
rose when killall during reboot process.

However I observed a new problem only once.

Here is the screen dump copied from a digital photo
(I did not copy the <numbers> but only symbolic names) :

kissnetd/net2kiss etc..

I wonder if someone might have a solution to my query here. I have the 
ax25 utils installed and working with a vhf port configured and is being 
used by my FBB bbs.  My tnc is a kantronics KPC-9612+ and I am only using 
the vhf (1200baud) port.

The predicment is that I also want to use this same tnc to serve a jnos 
installation and I have the notion that I can share this (vhf) between the 
ax25 utils and Jnos using something like 'net2kiss' or 'kissnetd' etc..

I wonder if anyone has been successful in doing this and if so could pass 
along their solution.  But first of all here is my ax25 setup showing how 
it is enabled through the utilities:

# vhf port is on ax1
/usr/sbin/mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ptyb1 /dev/ptyb2
/usr/sbin/kissattach -l -m 256 /dev/ttyb1 vhf 44.135.34.201
/usr/sbin/kissattach -l -m 256 /dev/ttyb2 uhf 44.135.34.201

How is kissnetd attached to that?
And if net2kiss is the solution is it used like this:
net2kiss -i ax1 /dev/ptyq3....with jnos using /dev/ttyq3 ??
For jnos this doesn't work, by the way..

Any thoughts would be appreciated..

net2kiss is an amazing little widget.  It lets JNOS run as an 
independent virtual computer on the packet system.

In my linux setup, I have:

---

echo "Initiating AX0 net2kiss connection for JNOS"
    /usr/sbin/net2kiss -i ax0 /dev/ptyp8 &
   echo "Allowing time for net2kiss to initialize "
   sleep 2
---

And then in the autoexec.nos, to attach the to the pseudo tty I have:

---
# linked connection to Linux AX0 port

Kernel recompiling

Well I am still trying to compile my own kernel. Getting close
I think. Using RH Enterprise 3 on a PII 400, Compaq.
Using kernel 2.4.21-9EL

After using make menuconfig etc and saving the configuration. I
ran make dep, make clean, make bzImage and then make install.
No error reports.
However, when I boot to the new Custom kernel I get the following
errors:

Mounting root file system
Mount error 19 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed :2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 164k freed
Kernel panic: No init found.
Try passing init= option to kernel

And there it sits.Initrd img file for the custom and regular
kernel are in the boot directory. The custom file is 87.3k
and the regular is 161.3k.

The only thing being added to the custom file are some of
the Ham Radio stuff like ax25, netrom etc. Those were the
only additions made.

When running make menuconfig, when I get to the yam line
and want to exit and save I seem to go around in circles.
A few times, I used the double escape code to get out.
Not sure what the proper procedures are. I have half
a dozen or so HOW TO documents and they are all very

CONVERS Primary server


I'm setting up a couple CONVERS nodes.  Everything is going good but I'm 
a bit confused with the comments in the CONF file.

===
# Link:
#
# Parameters:   <Remote_host>   <remote_address:port>   [primary_link]
Link            Chicpe          irc.n1uro.ampr.org:3600
Link            SpamNet-1       eth1.mara.org:3600      Chicpe
# Link          Kuopio_Fl       blues.pspt.fi:3600      SpamNet-1
# Link          USAHub          199.0.154.23:3600       Kuopio_Fl
#
# In the above example, Kuopio_FI is your primary link, Stockholm is
# a backup for Kuopio_FI, and Foobar is a backup for Stockholm. conversd
# will try to keep connected with Kuopio_FI, and use Stockholm and
# Foobar as backups in the listed order of preferrence.
===

Is this saying that Chicpe is the local primary link and the primary 
link also by SpamNet.   Or is the primary link OF Chicpe SpamNet-1 and 
thus it'll be the local backup?

Are these hosts still valid?

Thanks,
Bill - WA7NWP
