AX25-Telnet-Server DB0LJ


    Stand: April 2006

    The Server db0lj.prgm.org offers access via internet for licenced and registered hams to the Packet-Radio-Digipeater DB0LJ.

    The user needs a password protected account, which is primarily limited to users who are registered to the Amateur Radio Portal www.afuforum.de,
    and a suitable client software (the primitive Windows "telnet-client" does not work !)
     

    WPP
    Very comfortable is the usage of the powerfull Packet-Radio-Terminalprogram WPP (WindowsPacketProgram) from Wolfgang, DH3WW.
    WPP supports telnet access to packet-radio since version 3.08.
    You will find WPP at the WPP-Website and also in our fileserver at http://download.prgm.org/ham/packet/wpp.
    information are available in the area WPP of the Packet-Radio-BBS DB0LJ-8.

    Configuration information for using WPP at for telnet access are available here !
     

    Telnet
    A less comfortable way is to use a telnet client. You will need a client which supports "Passiv-Negotiation-Mode", without this you will not be able to logon to the server.

    The default output format of the server is for usage of WPP, it sends <CR> at the end of each line and no <LF>. This is not planned to be changed because converting would cause trouble in usual Packet-Radio binary transfer modes.

    For Windows-based systems the Freeware-Client PuTTY should be a good choice to get around this problem.

    PuTTY is available for download on the internet for several operating systems (incl. sources), for example at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty or locally at http://download.prgm.org/windows/com/putty and on our fileserver of the packet-radio BBS DB0LJ-8 in the directory /windows/com/putty

    You only need the small telnet-version (without SSH) puttytel.exe

    On a Linux system the standard telnet-Client should work like this:

        * open Linux-console
        * enter command "telnet"
        * at the prompt telnet>  enter the command "toggle crmod"
        * after confirmation enter "open db0lj.prgm.org 10023"
        * enter callsign and password
     

    Interested, licenced Ham Radio Amateurs should send an email (NO Packet-Radio-Mail) with the full name and address to dl5di@db0lj.de or dl5di@darc.de. YOur adress and callsign must be available in an actual callbook or callbook server, the EMail-address should contain your callsign.
    The installation of an account is free of charge but can be cancelled at any time without notice.

    Any ham radio amateur using this telnet port is responsible to follow the regulations of his own country and of Germany! Not all available technical features are legal, not all legal things are reasonable and should be used.
    Please always remember Ham-Spirit !
