6pack multi-drop

6pack multi-drop

[Chuck Hast]

Has the multi-drop function in 6-pack been done yet for Linux? I have been
playing with a single TNC and really like how it handles the channel. Would
like to be able to use the multi-drop function, but all documentation says it
has not been implemented yet.

Node Spawn

[Dave Stubbs]

Hello all,

Is there any way to get node to run an external program interactively?  
It does a great job executing a command like "echo"  from the ExtCmd 
section, and then sending the results out over packet, but if you try to 
launch an interactive program like mail or irssi, you get the following 
error: 

stdin: is not a tty

Is there a way to get node to spawn an interactive linux command with 
the callsign as the username?

thanks in advance for the help,

Dave

You might look into wrapping the desired command in something like
the pty-redir or ptybuffer utilities.  There are links to these
at freshmeat.

Alternately, you could use ax25d instead of a node program to start
the programs, or wrap the program in something like the Socket Window
tool and have it listen on a tcp/ip port.

Further to my previous, look also at the netscript package.
