BBS

BBS is a computer server running software that allows users to connect to the system using a terminal program.

Once logged in, the user performs functions such as: uploading and downloading software and data, reading news and bulletins, exchanging messages with other users through public message boards and chatting.

I'm working on having it connect via Telnet and RF to a simplex frequency as well. So when or if the net goes down it could still be used to send and pass messages and send and read bulletins. 

Send me a email if you want me to set up a login and then once you are in you can set your on password. Call signs make good Usernames. 

You can see it on the map at http://vps1.g8bpq.net/ and you can see it at www.hamradiohawaii.ddns.net:52895

If using a terminal like PuTTY contact me for details.

You will need a virtual soundcard, I’ve use Soundmodem and Direwolf.

Soundmodem can be found at:

https://uz7.ho.ua/packetradio.htm

Download the following files:

Soundmodem114.zip

Easyterm49.zip

Ptt-dll.zip

Install the Soundmodem and Easyterm49. Unzip the PTT-DLL file and move it to your Soundmodem file.

Direwolf:

A good site to walk you through installing Direwolf is https://themodernham.com/ultimate-direwolf-tnc-installation-guide-for-windows-and-linux/

Download the file: https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/releases

You will need one of these program files if you use Outpost PMM for access BBS.

https://outpostpm.org/index.php

Download the files and extract and install. You need to know the install location of either Soundmodem or Direwolf so you can link it to Outpost PMM.

---------------------

This allows someone can connect to KH6OWL-10 using Winlink Express, using a Winlink Packet Session, on 144.94

It should answer KH6OWL-11 for access to the BBS if someone uses a packet client like Outpost PMM or a terminal.
