Subject: [aprssig] findU moving
I expect findU's primary server will be moving tomorrow. The backup server
has been handling the weather graphs and radar images for several months.
It has been quite a while since the full load rested on one machine, but
the second machine is the stronger of the two, I think it do fine. Over the
course of the day I have synced the machines and moved most of the names
over to point at the backup server, so far, so good.
What won't work during the move will be any email sent to my domains,
including position reports, and the javAPRS applets on aprs.net, because
these require ports I could not get opened at the host site.
The name service will also be relying only on secondary servers, so things
will be fragile, to put it charitably!
If you notice something wrong, especially before the move, please let me
know. Stuff that fails after the move may not be fixable until the server
is up at is new home.
The machine will be fedexed overnight, so any down time should be less than
24 hours...
Sorry for any inconvenience...

I'm currently getting 'Internal Server Error' for all FindU CGI pages.
WWW2 comes up, but with no maps - looks like the map iframe is probably
served by WWW. Anyone else seeing this?

Woops, pointed a name it at the wrong server, give it a few minutes for the
dns cache to clear.

Subject: [aprssig] Need software advice -- offline please
Hey gang,
I need to set up an APRS station for a demo in the very near future. The
computer is an oldie, 133 MHz, probably 32 Mb of memory, running W98. Time
prevents me from testing a whole bunch of versions of APRS software.
Anyone have a suggestion on what would work best? Hopefully someone has
some experiece with that vintage of a computer and could offer some
insights.
Thank you very much!
So as to not irritate the list with an "old" discussion, a direct reply
would be appreciated! w7sar _at_ arrl.net (remove the spaces)

I think WinAPRS Version 2.5.1 with Precision Mapping Version 3 or 3.5 maps
will work. That too might be just a little slower than what you are
accustomed to but it should work fine. I have run it on my old computer
during demo's.

Correct. There is a geekey website about it all if you search for it (I
lost the link with the old hard drive)... OnStar do not use NMEA
internally. I think if you add BMW to the search it may help..
I think there was a link to it from this list some months back? The
article had pictures of how to dismantle the OnStar boxes and all that
too...

Friends,
I have a 2006 Toyota Sienna. I would like to tap into the navigation
system also.
Any ideas?

There are several that aren't listed there. Instead, look here:
That lists more of them.

"onstar hack" typed into Google yields plenty of links.

Know who makes the system? It may be a new one that nobody has opened up yet.
