Edgar should start his RaspBerry Pi BBS soon as I sent the card back to him last friday. Included forward files are ready for message exchanges through Internet and FPAC network is preconfigured too. DJ3PU should join worlwide ROSE FPAC net as soon as he will plug the SD card in and fire his RPi up. While I am using two old Kantronics 9612 Plus TNCs in kiss mode, Charley K4GBB reminded me that TNC-x and TNC-pi modems are available for this RaspBerry Pi credit card sized computer. I pre configured the Linux system with a number of serial ports (axip, kiss, 6pack, netrom, rose ...) An APRS repeater beacon is also configured. Spider Dx spot is installed but not configured. I thus have an image of an 8 GB SD card ready to burn on any micro SD to help any OMs to set up a Node-BBS system. Micro SD cards are very easy to send via snail mail, and I think this is a very convenient way to help someone to start a Linux system with AX.25 pre -installed. This also opens a possibility to share this Linux system image in order to include more and more applications by talented OMs on the same system. I am thinking about an (X)net node, soundmodem, not so easy to configure. We could share other OMs experience this way; Any candidate ? BBS F6BVP-1 is running on one of my two RPis at home ( http://f6bvp.org) 73 de Bernard, f6bvp
