- Hallo atarianer,
- ich bin selbst kein tcpip benutzer,aber hab letst ein NOS version fur Atari
- bekommen, v.021 beta release 9-04-93.
-
-
- KA9Q-NOS for Atari ST Beta Version 0.10
- =======================================
-
- The following notes are a quick guide to setting up the NOS version of KA9Q.
- This version of the program is in an early stage of development for the
- Atari ST and more complete instructions will be created at a latter date.
-
- Release 0.10 has been rebuilt for the ST from the DIS supported KA9Q for the
- IBM PC. This means that the internet code is as up to date as I can find, and
- is a major advance on the amiga code level used for the 0.0x betas. I am
- still working on the port to the DIS code. There are various additions to the
- previous ST programs which are not present in this Version. These will be
- added shortly.
-
- The NOS programs requires the following directories and files:-
-
- startup.nos
- domain.txt
- ftpusers
- dial.txt
- alias
-
- finger\
-
- spool\
-
- spool\mail\
-
- spool\mqueue\
- spool\mqueue\sequence.seq
-
- spool\news\nntp.dat
-
- By default all paths are relative to the root directory of the drive from
- which NOS was started. Thsi can be changed by starting nos with the -d
- flag. For example:-
-
- nos -dg:\nos
-
- would casue nos to look for g:\nos\startup.txt and g:\nos\spool etc.
-
- You can also set the root directory by setting the NOS_ROOT enviroment
- variable. For example:-
-
- NOS_ROOT=g:\nos
-
- This method requires a shell or utility program which allows you to setup the
- enviroment.
-
- NNTP - netnews
-
- There has been a lot of changes in the NNTP code. The news groups to fetch
- can now be specified in the nntp.dat file. This takes priority over the
- startup file. If batch mode is turned on all the news will be written into
- a single file for latter processing.
-
- The netnews newsgroups are specified in the startup.nos file, as is the NNTP
- profile. The demon news server is news.demon.co.uk
-
- You may want to update the nntp.dat file in spool\news to change the date and
- time values to something recent, to prevent a large flood of news on your first
- connection.
-
-
- The dialer
-
- This version of ka9q has a dialer facility. This uses the dial.txt file which
- must ben placed in the NOS root directory. You can setup the connection to
- demon with the command
-
- dial sl0 dial.txt
-
- There are currently a few problems with the dialer. I know that the first
- character of some of the login messages is missing and that cwait can give
- problems, however I am currently using the supplied dial.txt file for all
- my connections. It is much easier than using a seperate terminal program
- to do the login
