Subject: ax.25 wormhole info 
 
 
As many you have probably noticed, there have been a lot of unusual callsigns 
on 147.57 recently.  A few of us have been experimenting with an ax.25 
wormhole, which connects our LAN to several other areas of the world.  This 
wormhole allows you to either connect to a remote BBS running the KA9Q NOS 
software, or to digipeat through the wormhole to any other station listening 
at the remote end. 
 
The wormhole currently is running with 4 links, each of which is 
associated with a unique digipeater on our end: 
 
Hawaii via af2j-2 
Canberra, Australia via af2j-3 (weekends only) 
Zurich, Switzerland via af2j-4 
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada via af2j-6 
 
To connect to the remote NOS BBS, you must specify the call of the remote 
system and digipeat through one of the callsigns listed above.  Assuming 
you can hear my station directly, these connect sequences will work: 
 
c ah6bw-7 v af2j-2 
c vk1xwt-8 v af2j-3   (weekends only) 
c hb9zz-7 v af2j-4 
c ve3uow v af2j-6 
 
Once you connect to the remote BBS, you must hit a carriage return to start 
up the BBS.  Once you are logged in, you can use the "j" command to see 
who is on the air.  You can then contact a station directly by digipeating, 
as described below. 
 
To use the wormhole to digipeat through to another station on the air at 
the remote end, you must specify the input digi, the output digi and the 
callsign of the destination.  I only know of a few stations active, so 
I will use them as examples: 
 
c kh6gpi v af2j-2, ah6bw-1      (a bbs in Hawaii) 
c vk1kcm-2 v af2j-3, vk1xwt-4, vk1kcm-1    (a g8bpq node, weekends only) 
c hb9eas v af2j-4, hb9zz        (a flexnet node) 
c kitch v af2j-6, ve3uow        (a g8bpq node) 
 
The flexnet node has a "chat" mode, which is accessible by typing "C".  There 
is a flexnet help file on af2j-1, in the "bbs" area.  The flexnet system 
is linked to several European countries, including Switzerland, Germany, 
Belgium and France. 
 
It is important to remember that this is an experimental system, and may be 
turned off at anytime. 
 
Also, thanks to KB3KJ and K3CJ for lending equipment for this experiment. 
 
Please send any questions or comments to AF2J or KB3KJ on the W3YA BBS.
