Subject: How do I get NNTP working properly on PA0GRI v2.0j?
To: TCP-Group@UCSD.Edu
I am trying to get a gateway/bbs set up for the Pinawa area. I am
trying to see which flavour of NOS will work best for me. So far
PA0GRI v2.0j seems to have the features I want.
What do I want? Mainly NNTP for the rec.radio.amateur groups.
I have set up NOS to get articles from our server and it manages to transfer
them into the spool directory quite nicely. The only question I have is
how do I access the articles from the NOS BBS? The documentation for
PA0GRI does not mention this. Do I need to put some commands in a file?
The PA0GRI docs says it uses the following file structure:
~/spool/news
~/spool/news/active
~/spool/news/pointer
~/spool/news/info
~/spool/news/help
~/spool/news/history
~/spool/news/forward
~/spool/news/poll
The forward and history files are created automatically. Does anyone
know what goes in the other files? Any help is *greatly* appreciated.
Wayne
p.s. I am using the default for 'nntp directory' i.e., '/spool/mail' for
spool and '/spool/news' for control

Sounds like a great idea, maybe when I get the C/Set 2 compiler, I will
investigate writing one. It is really inconvenient to succumb back to
DOS to write messages when running OS/2.

I would still like to know how to get the 735K DOS box. I've tried
changing the video restriction and setting dos_rmsize to 636K (not
possible to set it to 639K, s/w changes it to 636), but nothing
seems to work. I would be interested in the REXX files too...

I would like to hear more about users' experience with 9600
baud operation. Our local tcp/ip group is planning a move to
all 9600 baud operation, and is investigating different modems,
tncs, and radios available, and any information would be
helpful. This list may not be the place for this topic, but
would like to know if this information is available anywhere
else.

I have a good article here in printed form by James Miller, G3RUH,
that appeared in the Amsat Journal, it has lots of info about the
bandwidth required and the modulation used. Also one of our local
PacComm representatives indicated to me that the bandwidth could
be contained in < 13 kHz.

I've heard that the 'D' model is preferred to reduce the phase
distortion at the edges.

What timers control TCP retries? How can I check the current status
of a socket and and it's associated retry timer? I've been having
problems with my station. It seems to wait forever when sending a
retry. If I skick the socket it starts everything going again. Then it
seems to stop and I need to do another skick of the socket. My TCP IRTT
value is 30000 and my TCP Timer is Linear. I'm runnning JNOS 1.07.
Thanks.

You should be able to use the "tcp status" command, or perhaps the "sock ##"
command to examine the state of a TCP control block, including the timer
state.
