VC mode and IPCAM are all trapped.
DA mode is simply routed to a null port
This is FLEXNET it has network management code built in.
the sysop can monitor remotely, and kill indivdual VC's

DF4WJ not being so daft!! is useing a small program that simply looks for
a Callsign as listed in a banned list and if that callsign is being routed
via the digi on any of its trunk routes or user ports the cct VC number is
noted and that VC is then killed with a network managment command.
its really easy.. look at the trace i mailed, you can see the VC numbers
and traffic and you can see DF4JW sending the k xxx Kill command.

This is strictly true in Germany, But its NOT Enforced!!
So you may say Complain to the National Radio Club here being the DARC
I did, i was given no help. In fact as a Non German National i was told
in simple words, If i dont like the way thing are run in Germany then Leave!
So that what i hope to do, soon I will return to the UK where there is Still
a good amount of Freedom!

Here's your chance to give some feedback on copyright/patent issues before they
make it even worse!
Glenn, NN7N
The Patent Office is soliciting suggestions and comments on intellectual
property aspects of the National Information Infrastructure. (They had a
public meeting on the 18th at the Patent Office). Some of the questions
they seek comments on are:
Is the existing copyright law adequate to protect the rights of those who
will make their available via the NII? What statutory or regulatory changes,
if any, should be made?
Should standards or other requirements be adopted for the labeling or
encoding of works available via the NII so that copyright owners and users
can identify copyrighted works and the conditions for their use?
Should a licensing system be developed for certain uses of any or all works
available via the NII? If so, should there be a single type of licensing or
should the NII support a multiplicity of licensing systems?
What types of education programs might be developed to increase public
awareness of intellectual property laws, their importance to the economy, and
their application to works available via the NII.
(More information can be found in the November 9, 1993 Official Gazette).
You can send your ideas to the Patent Office up until December 10, 1993.
