- The AEA Maildrop will both forward and accept messages while the
- computer is off. This is one of the advantages of putting existing
- ROM code to work. The AEA tnc has about 20k of message storage space,
- and can be used as a personal maildrop, or set to handle 3rd party
- (station A sends to B using C's ROM PBBS system). PK-232MBX 1991 users
- have TMAIL command. TMAIL ON turns on AMTOR ARQ maildrop. For AMTOR
- users, leave TMAIL OFF unless you really want incoming "connects" to
- go to the maildrop.
-
- MAIL ON -- To turn on your maildrop.
- TMAIL ON - AMTOR Maildrop ON
-
- MYMAIL callsign-n -- It helps to have a callsign SSID different
- than MYCALL. This will allow you to leave the maildrop on all the time.
- People can connect to your "live" connect or to the maildrop.
-
- HOMEBBS callsign -- Callsign (no SSID) of the BBS that will be accessing
- your PBBS. I set mine to KB6GFT
-
- KILONFWD ON -- Messages FROM you are deleted after forwarding.
-
- 3RDPARTY ON -- Allow messages between two other stations. This defaults
- to OFF, disallowing some other station to use your maildrop as a small BBS.
- Try setting it ON unless your maildrop runs out of memory. If it is on,
- encourage your users to kill their messages after reading them to free
- up maildrop message space.
-
- No computer needs to be left on. You will see a blinking LED on your
- TNC if you have incoming messages. Contact your local BBS operator to see
- if the sysop will arrange for auto forwarding to your personal BBS.
-
- Use [ALT-F8] to access the maildrop. Follow instructions in AEA manual
- Sending a message is easy:
