K-Net responds: Route added and locked
This adds the W4NGA-1 node to the routes table with a locked quality of 0. This node,
and any distant nodes associated with it, will not appear in the nodes table since the
locked in quality of zero is probably less than MINQUAL.
NOTE - The W4NGA-1 node can be completely ignored by putting its NETCALL
(W4NGA-1) in the SUPCALLS list and turning LLIST ON (from the command prompt -
cmd:). This would prohibit the K-Net from connecting to as well as accepting a connect
from the W4NGA-1 node.
BBS [/S]
This command connects a user of the node to the PBBS of the KPC-3 Plus. If the PBBS
is not enabled, this command is not operational and will not appear in the node's Help
list. If the optional S(tay) parameter is used, the user will be returned to the node after
sending the B(ye) command to the PBBS.
BYE
This command causes the node to send a disconnect packet to the user.
CONNECT [call | alias] [/S]
The CONNECT command is used to establish a connection to another node or to
another user/server. If connecting to another node that is listed in the nodes table (see
NODES command), the KPC-3 Plus will automatically select the path to be used. A
connect using the optional /S will use the Stay option - if the remote station issues a
disconnect, you will be returned to the node.
If a user wishes to connect to you, and enters just a C (or C /S to Stay), the node will
attempt to "connect" internally to the sysop of the KPC-3 Plus. If you have a terminal
connected, you can communicate just like a traditional packet session. If you set the
CMSG command in the KPC-3 to PBBS, the user will be routed to your PBBS and will
be able to leave you a message.
CQ [text]
This command places a user in the CQ mode. The text is transmitted by the node on
the radio port if the CQBC command is ON. If another user tries to connect to the
callsign contained in the CQ packet during the next 15 minutes, the node will then
establish the link back to the user initiating the CQ. Any other text sent by the user that
does not begin with CQ will cancel the CQ mode.
