/* version control information */ #include "global.h" #include "config.h" char version[] = "NET/Mac 2.3.46"; /* * What this application is intended for: * ====================================== * NET/Mac is an application, that has been created for ham-radio operators. * It can be used to hook up a Macintosh to the amateur-radio 'packet-radio' * wireless network. NET/Mac supports the TCP/IP protocol. * To use NET/Mac you need: * a) a ham-radio license * b) a transceiver connected to an antenna * c) a TNC that supports the KISS protocol * d) a Macintosh 512 or newer * * History * ======= * The application NET/Mac, was ported (from Phil Karn's NET) to the Mac * by Dewayne WA8DZP. * * This release is based on Dewayne's NET/Mac 2.0 and contains all mods of * the newer NET/Mac 2.2. Both NET/Mac 2.0 and 2.2 were released by Dewayne * Hendricks and Doug Thom. Since some time I have been making mods (bug- * fixes and enhancements) to their NET/Mac, and have always sent them these * mods. Now that they are working on a new application, that will support * high speed networks and will also support AppleTalk over that network, * they have given me permission to distribute their NET/Mac with my mods * installed. * * I hope you'll like the work I have done so far, and I will try to keep * 'upgrading' this application as much as possible. Don't bother Dewayne * or Doug in case you have problems or questions. Don't hesitate to call * me if any help is needed. I will try to be as helpful as I can. If you * want to become member of a 'NET/Mac distributionlist' (I myself prefer * internet for sending out newer versions...) then please leave me a note. * I may start sending out UpdateMaker documents that will allow you to * update NET/Mac to a newer version as soon as one has become available. * * I'd like to thank Dewayne and Doug for the sources they gave me to work * on and Joe AF2J for already sending me a number of mods. * * Adam van Gaalen, PA2AGA. * * * My mail addresses are: internet: pa2aga@iag.tno.nl (for letters only!) * or: adam@iag.tno.nl (for files/letters) * ham tcp/ip: pa2aga@pa2aga * ham BBS: pa2aga@pi8vnw.#zh2.nld.eu */ /* Modifications I made so far: + = installed some time ago * # = installed in version # * #R= installed in Release 2.3.# * * File Modification * ---- ------------ 58 arpcmd.c Make syntax of error- and usage-messages more consistent 59 Make syntax of error- and usage-messages more consistent 60 Make syntax of error- and usage-messages more consistent 73 Implement fixes for more 'Real-Time processing' + arpdump.c Support 'trace <interface> <bits> [filename]' 73 arp.c Implement fixes for more 'Real-Time processing' 14R Mods for new AppleTalk drivers,including FastPath/GatorBox support 50 ax25.c Taken from V2.2 78 Make sure pullup() gets called with the right parametertype 12R Add the name of the interface to output of 'ax25 heard' command 14R Check the result of the time() function 16R Correct #include for unix.h + ax25cmd.c Tailor 'ax25 heard' output + Mods for UPLOAD command 42 Do flowcontrol for incoming lines and those typed 31 Force 'Connected' message to AX.25-window 46 Do extended logging 48 Incoming sessions draw more attention than incoming mail 58 Make syntax of error- and usage-messages more consistent 59 Make syntax of error- and usage-messages more consistent 60 Save some space by moving some strings to 1 variable 67 Cursors should appear only if typing in a window is allowed 68 Implement split-windows for TELNET, AX.25 and NET/ROM 72 Change code so that it becomes more ANSI-like 73 Update ax.25 window when state changes 73 Implement fixes for more 'Real-Time processing' 78 Update ax.25 window when state changes (1st mod was not enough) 10R Force window-updates only if NET/Mac is not suspended 12R Add the name of the interface to output of 'ax25 heard' command 15R Return resultcode 0 if all was OK 16R Correct #include for unix.h 19R Mods for correctly displaying the systemprompt 34R Print number of ignored bad-header-frames 44R Save some space in 'ax heard' output + ax25dump.c Support 'trace <interface> <bits> [filename]' 52 Support 'traceonly [all|callsign]' 78 Make sure pullup() gets called with the right parametertype 50 ax25subr.c Taken from V2.2 78 Make sure pullup() gets called with the right parametertype 29R Implemented 'ignorebadheaders [on|off]' command 30R Some more mods for 'ignorebadheaders [on|off]' command 33R Some more mods for 'ignorebadheaders [on|off]' command 34R Some more mods for 'ignorebadheaders [on|off]' command 45R Enhance the test for bad AX.25 headers + ax_mbx.c Do not include '.bbs' in from-field of mbox-message + Fix bug in 'mbox' output 21 Enhance test for control-z (for those that send cr + lf) 38 removed..

So make sure you go from the window for which the UPLOAD/RECORD is intended DIRECTLY to the console window, otherwise you'll get an errormessage. In NET/Mac(58) and higher versions you may also use the format: upload <filename> [<session>] and record <filename> [<session>|off] ROUTE EXPANDED: Displays the routing table like the ROUTE command does, but IP-numbers will be translated into hostnames. This may take some time because the hostnames have to be looked up in the HOSTS.NET file. I suggest you just use this form when you have a RAM-cache enabled in your controlpanel. Oh... you cannot type a shortcut for EXPANDED, so 'ro e' will not work. This is just to prevent one from accidently typing this command. TCP MRTT [<milliseconds>]: You may use this new command to set a Maximum ReTry Timer. The default time is 3600 seconds (3600000), which means that when a link has gone down, or has gone bad, there will be a retry at least once every hour. This timer was created so that the retry- timer doesn't go up too high. Don't set this timer to a (too) low value, because you may introduce a lot of retries for a down link, which means a lot of unnecessary traffic on the frequency. This MRTT is valid for ALL open connections. I suggest you DON'T set it to a value lower than 900000 (900 seconds) or so. #$debug on: You may choose to list the commands in the autoexec.net-file when they are being executed. This is very handy to trace errors in the startup-file. NET/Mac will start showing the commands when it discovers a line containing #$debug on in the autoexec.net file. FLOW [ON|OFF]: Enable or disable 'flow-control' for TELNET-, NET/ROM- and AX.25-sessions. With flowcontrol ON an incoming line will not be written to the screen as long as you are in the middle of typing a line for the remote station. Incoming data will be displayed as soon as you hit the <RETURN> key. So far flowcontrol is not perfect, but I think it is a lot better than it used to be. Anyway, it works fine, as long as you don't type HALF a line in one session, and then switch to another and do some typing there, and then switch back and so on. If you simply type a COMPLETE line at a time it's OK. ALERTS [<number>]: Sets the number of bell-strikes for incoming sessions. <number> may be a number from 0 to 5. When <number> is 0, no bell will sound for incoming sessions or incoming mail. When <number> is bigger than 0 incoming mail will sound 1 bell (like it used to be), but incoming live sessions like TELNET-, AX.25- and NET/ROM-sessions will sound as many bells as defined in the ALERTS command. This command was created so incoming sessions may draw more attention than incoming mail- or finger- sessions. ROUTE ADD DEFAULT <interface>: I suggest you DON'T USE THIS FORM, but use ROUTE ADD [44.0.0.0]/8 <interface> instead. At startup the program prints out a line containing the Macintoshtype and two type-numbers. If it says 'Macintosh Computer', then please inform me about the type of Macintosh you are running NET/Mac on (like Plus, SE etc.) and the typenumbers it printed, so that I can add the Macintoshtype you are using. So far it should recognize most of the Macintoshes. Note that a Mac-XL running a Mac Plus emulator, or a 512Ke with a SCSI- interface and/or 1 MByte of memory (or more), are considered to be a Plus! TRACEONLY [ALL|CALLSIGN] allows you to only expand packets to or from a given station (doesn't work for AppleTalk-tracing). This 'option' was installed because sometimes, on a very busy channel, it used to be close to impossible to return from the trace-window to the console-window (in order to switch tracing off). OUTGOING-MAIL-OPTIMIZER: NET/Mac(54) and higher versions contain an 'outgoing-mail-optimizer'. It performs the following task: Suppose someone sends me (pa2aga) ONE mail for a number of hams, like: To: pe0mar@pa2aga pa0aax@pa2aga pa0gln@pa2aga on1xk@pa2aga Now, what used to happen is the following: Using the alias-file of pa2aga, mail would be re-queued to: pe0mar@pi8hvh pa0aax@pi8hvh pa0gln@pi8mac on1xk@pi8hvh 4 files in total, of which 3 would be sent (one after another) to pi8hvh. I always thought this was a waste of bandwidth, so... My optimizer does the trick now, NET/Mac takes care of it all! It will send one file to pi8mac and ONE file to pi8hvh! RIP TRACE [ON|OFF]: Allows you to trace RIP-activity in a RIP-dedicated Window. These mods came from Joe AF2J (thanks Joe!). Note that when A LOT of routes get added through the RIP-mechanism, the RIP-trace-window may slow down NET/Mac for a while, because (like ROUTE EXPANDED) all IP-numbers will get translated to hostnames before the messages in the RIP-trace window are displayed. This may require some (a lot) of disk-accesses when the file 'hosts.net' is not in a RAM-cache. I suggest you turn on the RIP TRACE when indeed you want to trace the RIP-stuff, otherwise turn RIP TRACE OFF. We have experienced some outgoing CHECKSUM ERRORs on both AppleTalk and TNC links. This problem causes AppleTalk links to become very S L O W. To minimize this problem I have set both TCP MSS and TCP WINDOW to 216 so that there will never be more than 1 frame at a time going out over the AppleTalk link. This seems to have reduced it by 95%. Unfortunately MSS and WINDOW are being used for all tcp-connections, so setting both of them to the same value also limits the possibilities on the TNC-link, but as far as I've noticed here that doesn't really hurt. PE1CHL told me that the CHECKSUM ERROR problem also exists in his NET.PE1CHL, and that he is not going to solve it. He believes that it has been solved in NOS. For SLIP-lines you may now issue modemcommands like ATDT in a 'param' command. The format of the command is: param <interface> <modemcommand> Examples: param sl0 ATDT031174942153 param sl0 +++ Note: Only 1 string is sent to the modem. A <space> or <return> terminates the string. For KISS-lines you may now issue TNC-commands like KISS ON in a 'param' command. The format of the command is: param <interface> <TNC-command> Example: param ax0 KISS ON Note: A <return> terminates the string. A new feature in NET/Mac(65) and higher is the 'anonymous anonymous' user. You can allow any user to log in by defining username * and password * in the ftpusers-file. When NET/Mac goes through the list of validated users, and it encounters a username *, then the search is terminated and the user is granted access to the system. You should put this line at the very end of ftpusers! You may also choose to remove any 'guest' or 'anonymous' user from the ftpusers-file, since * could cover all of those. Also new in version 65 is the 'prompt' command, which enables you to change the default 'net>' prompt. Version 67 and higher allow the user to define the location and size of the Trace-, RIP Trace-, LOG-, SMTP Trace- and CONSOLE-windows. If you haven't changed the commands that generate these windows, the windows will simply be like they used to be. If you want to change the size or location of a given window, simply add 4 numbers to the command, that creates it. (e.g.: log :spool:logs:log x y r c) The 4 numbers are: x and y: the coordinates of the upper left corner default is 0 0 r : number of rows (lines) in the window default is 24 (on a 9" screen) c : number of columns (characters) per line default is 80 (on a 9" screen) Since the TRACE-command has an optional filename as the last parameter, it is required to use all 4 parameters (x y r c) for the windowsize or NON of those. The optional filename remains the LAST parameter. To change the location and size of the console-window a new command 'console [x y r c]' was introduced. I myself use on a 9" screen: rip trace on 0 0 24 72 smtp trace 2 0 19 17 80 log :spool:logs:log overwrite 0 0 24 71 console 0 0 13 80 Example for 13" screen: rip trace on 0 0 24 80 log :spool:logs:log overwrite 0 310 3 80 smtp trace 2 0 374 3 80 console 0 0 24 80 Starting up NET/Mac with #$debug on may be pretty slow, especially when you have a large screen (let's say > 12"). If you want to speed up processing of the autoexec.net file you can first reduce the size of the console-window. On PA0GLN's Mac LC with 13" color-screen the startup took 24 seconds. He then installed the following line as the first line of his autoexec.net: console 0 0 10 80 At the end of his autoexec.net he selected the screen as suggested above. Startup then took only 15 seconds. FLOW [ON|OFF] now also controls the kind of screen you will get when an AX.25-, NET/ROM- or TELNET-session is started. With FLOW OFF you will now get a split-screen, with an incoming and an outgoing window. When FLOW is ON, you will get one window in which both the incoming and outgoing data will be displayed. KPC-4 TNC: When a kpc-4 is attached, an "a" or "b" is added to <label> and is used in place of <interface> in all autoexec.net (and live) commands. So, when you do 'attach kpc4 1 a ax25 kp0 2048 576 4800' your <interface>'s will be kp0a and kp0b. RTNTOSES [ON|OFF] allows you to enable/disable a mode in which typing a single <RETURN> in the console-window will/won't bring you back to the active session. Default is ON. REALTIME [ON|OFF] was implemented because I discovered, that timers appeared to be only relative values. When the Mac is busy running more than just NET/Mac, sometimes my timers (like SMTP TIMER, retry-timers etc.) look like actual values, but in many cases the real value was 1.5 to 3 times higher than the ones shown by various commands. I always wondered why a ping with a delay of 900 seconds only got handled about twice an hour.... When you switch on REALTIME, NET/Mac will try to investigate how busy the Mac is, and how little time NET/Mac gets from the system. By doing so and adjusting the timervalues these become more realistic. NET/Mac will average the values it found over some time. When you type REALTIME, it will show you the value it has calculated. The program usually uses the value 100, so if REALTIME shows 200 mSec per tick, this means, that all timers and counters are twice as long as you would expect. Also look at SMTP TIMER some time after switching on REALTIME, and you will see a more accurate value of the timer there. When you quit NET/Mac by using the 'exit' command, NET/Mac will put the average tick-value of the last NET/Mac-run at the beginning of your autoexec.net, so that it will automatically start up using this value when you activate NET/Mac the next time. CMDTOCLIPB [ON|OFF] appears to be handy when you want to have a possibility to redo the last command. This new command allows you to copy each and every command to the clipboard, so that you can 'retype' the command by simply pressing command-G (Do Again). It's a lot more comfortable to type (a lot of) command-G's than to type like 't s 5f873c' a number of times, just to monitor a given session. Command-V acts just like command-G, but the command will not really be executed, so that you can edit the command if you like. RIP really works in version 80 (and higher)! ADDMENU <string> allows you to enter commands from the menubar. Look at the HELP info for ADDMENU for more info. SOURCE <filename> allows you to split up the autoexec.net file into a number of smaller files, each performing a specific task, like 1 file for 'route add' commands, 1 file for 'arp add' commands etc... Also you may choose to group together a number of NET/Mac commands, that can be activated later from the 'Custom' menu. See also the NET/Mac HELP-windows for 'addmenu' and 'source'. SMTP NDAYS <number> will make sure, that SMTP-files that have been inside your Macintosh (and could not be delivered) for more than <number> days, will get returned to the sender. The default value for <number> is 365 (days), but I think you should set it to some value of between 10 and 30. Mail-files are being checked against this <number> when they are queued for transmission. When NET/Mac stays on for very long without being restarted, this could mean, that there may be a session, waiting in SYN SENT mode for the destination to show up, for as long as NET/Mac is running. This would mean, that the outgoing mail to that (unreachable?) destination will only get queued when SMTP kicks for the first time, and never after. Therefore I implemented a mod, which makes sure that outgoing SMTP-sessions that reach retry-timer 128 (see 'tcp status') will get requeued again. Also outgoing SMTP-sessions that wait for a command from the destinationhost and seem to be 'forgotten' by that host will be reset after about 2 hours. TITLE <new consolewindow title> allows you to change the default title of the console-window (which now defaults to 'hostname') to any title you like. Sometimes it seems hard to disconnect a simple AX.25 connection by just typing a disconnect command... Instead of typing disconnect commands over and over, you should try the following: type: ax25 status and then type: ax25 reset <'&AXB'-address> You should ONLY use these commands, when the state of the connection is (and remains) 'Conn pending', otherwise the remote-station will never know, that you have dropped the connection. SLEEP <seconds> was added to allow users to put NET/Mac to sleep for some time. Sometimes this seems to be necessary after sending a command (like RESET) to a TNC. During the sleep period, which may last between 1 and 60 seconds, NET/Mac will not service any ports. NETMACICONS [ON|OFF] allows you to control the type of Icon that the NET/Mac configurationfiles will have. When switched to ON, files like 'ftpusers', 'alias', 'hosts.net' and 'autoexec.net' will eventually get a NET/Mac-like Icon. Some users did not like this because they would like to see TeachText or some other file-editor launched (instead of NET/Mac) whenever they double-click on the very file. When you decide to change the creator of the file to the NET/Mac application, the filetype will still remain TEXT, so that any editor will be able to edit the file. I myself changed the Icons to NET/Mac-like Icons, because I feel these files are really NET/Mac configuration files, and therefore should look like NET/Mac-documents. The default for NETMACICONS is ON. System 7.1 has a bug in AddResMenu() that messes up the HELP-window. NET/Mac now has it's own MyAddResMenu() to fix that. NET/Mac will check if it is running under 7.1 and if so it uses it's own routines, otherwise the system's AddResMenu will be used. Under the 'Settings' menu a new item '...View Statistics' was installed. This allows you to display a window, in which the realtime statistics are shown. For some reason I don't understand yet, background tasks will slow down a lot when this window is up, and therefore it 'self-destructs' in 15 seconds. I am still looking for the cause of this and will try to solve the problem as soon as possible. APPLESHARE [<HOSTNAME> <PATH_TO_MQUEUE_FOLDER>] was implemented in version 2.3.10. I wrote this command because I got sick of having to deal with badly performing AppleTalk TCP/IP links. The bad links are caused by some 'DUP MBUF' problem, which happens to occur much more on AppleTalk than on TNC-links. I think the problem rises when an ACK for a frame was received before the frame itself has been deleted from the outbound-frame-queue. Of course the chances, that this will happen on AppleTalk are relatively large because of it's high speed. On my network it happens most of the time when one of my Mac 512Ke's transfers SMTP-files to the IIx or SE/30. The IIx and SE/30 seem to ACK so quick, that the 512 doesn't have enough time to remove the transmitted frame from the queue. The new command allows the 512 to directly put the file to be transmitted into the MQUEUE folder of the IIx using AppleShare instead of the TCP/IP link. Sending out a 585K file took 7 minutes over TCP/IP, while the transmission lasted only 2.5 minutes over AppleShare. Bad links sometimes perform so bad, that I cannot get more than about 5K sent in ONE HOUR! For the time being, you can define only 1 AppleShare host. In my case this did not appear to be a problem, because usually one Mac only forwards mail to one of the others. This happens to be the case since in Holland we are used to do hop-to-hop forwarding, and when mail comes in on one of the Macs it will be forwarded to the 'next in line' and to the next etc. So only the 'next in line' Mac has to be defined as AppleShare host. If for some reason the Apple- Share volume appears to be not-online, then NET/Mac will use TCP/IP-forwarding automatically. | Suppose mail comes in at pa2aga for | pa3ecp@pa2aga. The aliasfile of pa2aga A | will reroute that to pa3ecp@pi8mac. p |--- pa2aga on 433.025 MHz. -- TNC pa2aga has 1 AppleShare node: pi8mac, p | so the mailfile will (if possible) be l | alias: pa3ecp pa3ecp@pi8mac forwarded over an AppleShare link. e | T | pi8mac discovers the mail in it's own a |--- pi8mac on 430.675 MHz. -- TNC mqueue-folder, while it is still l | addressed to: pa3ecp@pi8mac, and will k | alias: pa3ecp pa3ecp@pa2aga-2 send it over the loopback-link to | itself. Then it will get aliassed to c | pa3ecp@pa2aga-2, while pa2aga-2 is it's a |--- pa2aga-2 on 1259.675 MHz. -- TNC known AppleShare node. Therefore, again b | it will be sent over via AppleShare. l | alias: pa3ecp pa3ecp@pa3ecp e | Finally pa2aga-2 encounters mail for | pa3ecp@pa2aga-2, and will send it to itself. The mail will then be rerouted to pa3ecp@pa3ecp and will finally be delivered over the TNC-link. pa2aga-2 knows 1 AppleShare node: pa2aga example of the APPLESHARE command as it is in the autoexec.net of pa2aga: appleshare pi8mac "HD of PI8MAC:TCP/IP:spool:mqueue" Note: AppleShare mail-delivery will take place ONLY if the file gets QUEUED by NET/Mac (like in hop-to-hop forwarding). If you just typed a mail yourself, then IM/Mac will queue it. Therefore the first hop will go over a TCP/IP link while all next (AppleTalk-)hops may be using this AppleShare feature. I may decide to enhance this, but will not do so until the system has proven to REALLY be an enhancement. So far my AppleTalk TCP/IP links have been running well with this mod, and I'll keep my fingers crossed! We've tested this feature on standard AppleShare-volumes as well as TOPS-volumes. NET/Mac 2.3.14 contains new AppleTalk drivers. So far these seem to be much more reliable than the old drivers. I just want you to know that: 1) You cannot mix NET/Mac 2.3.14 and pre-2.3.14 versions on 1 AppleTalk trunk, because they will not be able to communicate with eachother 2) When one Mac on the AppleTalk link tries to send to another, while the other one isn't running NET/Mac yet, the first one seems to freeze for maybe half a minute or so, but don't panic... it will continue to run without problems 3) The new NET/Mac may be used to connect to an ethernet-LAN over a Shiva FastPath or Cayman GatorBox. If no such gateway is discovered on the Apple- Talk LAN, NET/Mac will report 'No AppleTalk Gateway was found' when processing the 'attach' command for the AppleTalk port NET/Mac 2.3.15 contains upgraded new AppleTalk drivers. Again you cannot mix 2.3.15 with earlier versions. Furthermore the last number in the attach-statement for the AppleTalk interface cannot be larger than 586, so 600 is invalid for NET/Mac 2.3.15. Dewayne WA8DZP, who sent me these fixes, wrote about hem: 'When you do a trace for an AT interface now, the AT addresses are displayed in the' 'standard net:node:socket convention for both source and destination. The maximum ' 'packet size in the "attach at0" command should now be 586. This code will find any' 'host running NET/Mac who is in the same AT zone. This should be a BIG improvement ' 'over the old LAP code that could only work over one network. ' NET/Mac also supports point-to-point SLFP, as used by the Merit Network and MIT. Check the HELP-info for the 'attach' command to see how to select SLFP. When you have just started up an FTP-session and you have typed: USER <username> you can now type your password without showing the password on the screen. To do this DON'T type: PASS <password>, but simply type: PASS and the system will ask you to type a password. The password will not be visible on the screen. If you decide to use the old form (PASS <password>) the password WILL be visible! SESSCREEN [<screenwidth>] [<number_of_lines>] allows you to define the width and length of windows that will be opened for ftp-, telnet-, ax.25-, net/rom- and finger-sessions. The maximum size depends on the size of the screen. I figured out, that 90 by 25 is nice on my PowerBook 100, while the screen can be 101 characters wide by 29 lines long. The drivers for accessing the callsign-database have been changed so that NET/Mac will use the format of (and read) the new HamCall CD-ROM. Old callbook databases, that could be used by pre 2.3.15 versions of NET/Mac cannot be used any longer. HamCall CD-ROM: 500,000 hams plus 1,000s of public domain amateur radio programs and data. NOW with international callsigns!! CD-ROM $50 Shipping $5 Buckmaster Publishing Route 4, Box 1630 Mineral, VA 23117 (703)894-5777 (800)282-5628 After buying the october 1992 Buckmaster CD I discovered, that the databases are in an invisible folder. You can attach the U.S.A.-database using a command like: callbk HCALL_10_92:HAM0:HAMCALL.129;1 :spool:logs:callbook_log ^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ these are zero's just an example The international callbook file is encoded. To use it from NET/Mac you must use: callbk HCALL_10_92:HAM0:HAMCALL.ALL;1 :spool:logs:callbook_log encoded CALLBOOKSERVER <HOSTNAME> defines the callbook-server in your area. It is set to your own hostname by default. The 'inquire' command will retrieve the callbook-database at the station, which is defined by the 'callbookserver' command. INQUIRE <CALLSIGN> allows you to retrieve the callbook-database of a predefined callbook-server. The output is exactly the same as delivered to an ax.25- or NET/ROM-user, who sends an I)nquire <callsign> command to the mbox, or a TCP/IP- user who sends a 'finger %<user>@<callbookserver>'. CTEXT1 [<MESSAGE LINE 1>] and CTEXT2 [<MESSAGE LINE 2>] allow you to send out a 2-line welcome message to the station that opens a TELNET-session to this host. If a message is idle, no data will be sent out. Setting or clearing out a message can be done as follows: ctext1 "Welcome to TELNET at PA2AGA" ctext2 "It's past midnight.. everybody is asleep here" or: ctext2 "" FTEXT1 [<MESSAGE LINE 1>] and FTEXT2 [<MESSAGE LINE 2>] do the same as the CTEXT commands, except that these 2 commands will define welcome messages that will be displayed when a new FTP-session gets opened. DONTALIAS <USER> [<USER> ...] enables recording of (so far) unknown aliases in a DynamicAliases file, while these aliases will then be used to reroute mail. It works like this: Suppose K1FRM knows he can send mail to K1TO via K1VIA, while the mail-path to K1FRM is so far unknown at both K1TO as well as K1VIA. K1FRM would then send his mail to: k1to%k1to@k1via (if K1TO is in the aliasfile of K1VIA he could also send it to: k1to@k1via) Now NET/Mac at K1VIA sees this mail coming in and if K1FRM is not defined in the 'dontalias' command (and why should it be?), it will record K1FRM in it's DynamicAliases file. The same thing happens at K1TO. This means that starting now anybody can send mail to K1FRM by simply mailing it to: K1FRM@K1VIA or to: K1FRM@K1TO It is necessary to define your own <USER> in the dontalias command, just to make sure that mail sent out by yourself, but rerouted by someone else and going through your own NET/Mac again will not be looked at. Otherwise an alias for your own <USER> would get written to the DynamicAliases file, meaning that starting now mail to yourself would get rerouted to yourself, and rerouted again, and again and again......... NET/Mac will not record aliases for those <USERS>s, that are already defined in the real 'alias' file. SMTP VM was implemented in version 2.3.26. Scott Petrack <petrack@vnet.IBM.COM> reported a problem when NET/Mac was mailing to an IBM VM mainframe. The mainframe could not handle the way NET/Mac was doing it's SMTP session. When you need to SMTP to such a machine, make sure you use the 'smtp vm' command before you start sending out the first mail. You cannot UNDO this command, but it should work fine for all other implementations of SMTP, except that they may perform just a little slower. If for some reason you are using any version of SoftKISS older than version 1.8 I suggest you add the command SOFTKISS to your autoexec.net file. This command enables some fixes in NET/Mac to take care of a few bugs in SoftKISS, that were solved in version 1.8. NET/Mac 2.3.29 supports the Hurdler HDS 2-port and HQS 4-port serialcards as well as the QuadraLink and QuadraLink DMA cards. This means that starting now you can connect up to 6 TNC's to 1 Macintosh using 1 card or up to 10 TNC's when using 2 cards, etc. Check the modified online-HELP info for both the 'attach'-command and 'quadralink'-command. IGNOREBADHEADERS [ON|OFF] was implemented after I installed the QuadraLink 4 ports serial card, which was given to me by Tom N4ZPT (thanks again Tom!). When using this card NET/Mac sometimes (in my case once or twice an hour) cannot service the card quick enough. Usually this happens when it is busy writing a mailfile to disk. The result is that the first couple of characters in a packetheader may come in in a bad shape, which of course makes the complete packet unusable. The headers found in these packets used to be interpreted and the funny callsigns, that were the result, used to be stored in lists like 'ax heard' and 'netrom route'. When you set 'ignorebadheaders' to on, these faulty packets will be moved to the trash right away. If you want to see when NET/Mac ignores a bad packet (and why), simply use the 'ignorebadheaders on' command twice. In NET/Mac 2.3.32 I somewhat changed the 'tzone' command. A new variant of this command allows you to set the timezone-name, while the offset is taken from the 'Map' control-panel. For more info see the HELP-info inside NET/Mac. SMTP MULTI [ON|OFF] allows you to specify if a given host is allowed to open more than just 1 smtp-session to your station. Usually NET and NOS will only open ONE session at a time. This means that when a second session gets opened, the first one will get reset. Of course this can result in serious problems if a mailer near you decides to use more than one SMTP-session to deliver it's mail. The default mode is (and has been for long...) OFF. PERFORM [CLEAR]|[<COMMAND> <HH:MM>|+<DELAY> [ONCE [<DAYOFWEEK>]]|[PERMANENT]] allows you to define commands, that will be executed at a given time. See HELP for examples and some more info. */
