You can use ax25d to invoke a command and hook its std{in,out} up to the AX25 socket. You could use telnet, but I use a shim called axconv to create the socket connection to the convers server; it does line ending fixup, will auto-sign the caller into convers, etc. http://he.fi/pub/ham/unix/linux/ax25/axconv.c.gz The AX.25 howto has stuff on ax25d configuration: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/x1474.html De ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

The problem is, like with all great little tools, one improvement on the system like this and an obsessive individual, like me , want's more more more... Time now to take the next step and hook our "community packet servers" up to the local DXCluster box using the same AX25 connect and launch scheme. Is anybody already doing this? I think the axconv.c program might work directly or with a little tweaking. Also I saw once, but can't find now, instructions on how to launch a telnet connection from ax25d.conf. It would be much appreciated if somebody could point me at that info.

I'm sure there are some Internet guru's on here to correct me if I'm wrong... My assumption is that these incoming ports are assigned to this BMC process - but unless you actually install and use the BMC program, there's no real reason not to re-use the ports. I picked 3695 for my Listen experiment simply because it's one more then the 3694 used by UroNode. .. I have a machine >>set up that I ssh to listen and get a listen screen but no one else has >>been able to do it on other machines, indeed I have not either, so not >>sure what I did that made it work on one machine...??? Are you trying the listen as a service? Or are you running it as an application from ssh? Hmmm. I have to try that as it might be a better way yet to do what I want. > Bill, our FPAC Linux boxes use port 10093 UDP to link boxes over the > intenet, I was looking and see that the following block is not used: > # 10081-10099 Unassigned > Wonder if we could get that whole block assigned for amateur radio > applications? I know Scott has at least one port officially assigned for his OpenTrac project. I'm sure others could be requested for various ham applications but I personally don't think it's worth the effort. There are so few of us and it's so easy to move ports around.. Bill - WA7NWP ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread
