Hello Avon;

I've always wanted to hook my BBS up to packet so that someone could send/receive echomail between BBS over RF.
I've seen some old youtube clips with HAMs seemingly running TCP/IP
over RF using the AX.25 protocol and slow baud rates. I figured this
would be the first thing to have to get sorted before the BBS software could answer telnet calls and/or push PKT message files out over RF for another BBS to receive and import... I think??
My BBS and packet hub are all on one machine and they share the same IPs,
they just use different ports. When it comes to SMTP mail, *everything*
is sent via MX records in DNS to my main postfix MTA which runs the mail through spamassassin and ClamSMTP for viri checking before it's final destination. In postfix there's a transport file you can set to redirect
mail to different ports. To get a message for example from your BBS to my LinFBB packet BBS you'd send it to:
n1uro%n1uro.#
cct.ct.usa.noam@n1uro.ampr.org
I may have to reset my non-RF mail out from LinFBB as I was forced to do some emergency repairs and had to shut down a node but incoming works fine. I've sent mails from my smartphone through my packet hub to end users to receive
and they get them all the time.
Some of our nodes run my axMail-FAX system which is an SMTP plugin for my URONode software. You could send me a message to:
n1uro@wb2snn.ampr.org and I'll get it as well. Wb2snn by the way is 100%
RADIO! There is no internet there at all - and it hosts both IPv4 & IPv6.
If your IPv6 is working that'd be the default IP it'd use.
My URONode supports incoming telnet via both IPv4 and IPv6 as well. I wrote
it so that if one is on 44net they do NOT need a password as chances are they're a validated licensed ham. Non 44-net IPv4 and all IPv6 for now the
user requires a password to login. Instructions are sent at login and at the failure error message.
Linking my SBBS to my URONode was tricky but I figured it out. I don't
know about your software but SBBS has a MUD gateway system in it's doors config. I set in a sense a "MUD" to my node's telnet port. Sometimes when
I'm playing the old DOS door games, if I want to take a break, I may do some packet for a bit before gaming again.
My node is running a Z80 emulator and so far I have Zork and Eliza loaded.
I wrote a routine for the Elizabot so the user can opt to have the chat transcript emailed to them :) It's pretty cool. The best thing you can do
is to get on the amprnet. This opens a lot of doors for you to do different things.
