|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>The FBB packet BBS and DXNet Linux software are written to
|
|
answer calls to a call-sign defined in the configuration files. In
|
|
these examples the FBB call-sign is k5di-3 and the DXNet is k5di-5.
|
|
<P>Since calls to k5di-3 and k5di-5 are answered by other
|
|
software, ax25d is not used and these calls should NEVER be found in
|
|
a ax25d.conf file. But the nrports file needs to have the information
|
|
added and 2 more nrattach lines are added to the start file. The
|
|
nrattach lines (4 each) and the file "nrports" are shown below:
|
|

|
|
<P>These changes will make the node listings wanted but a call
|
|
to LCBBS will not work yet. Recall that FBB answers a call to k5di-3
|
|
but not the alias. To achieve this a change to the
|
|
/usr/local/fbb/system/port.sys file is required. Before these changes
|
|
port.sys had a listing for the name "netrom". With these changes
|
|
replace "netrom" with "netbbs". That section of port.sys is shown
|
|
below:

|
|
<P>A similar change is made to the "dxnet.cfg" file where netrom
|
|
is replaced with netdx. When these changes are made and a few hours
|
|
have passed to let Netrom send node lists, any nearby node will have
|
|
nodes listed to your Netrom for CRUCES and LCBBS and LCDX, and they
|
|
will all work just as they do when using the G8BPQ Switch under DOS.
