HI ALL,
        Thank you for reading this bulletin !!!


The name here is Joe VK5RQ @ VK5RQ.#SYP.#SA.AUS.OC, i run a PACTOR into VHF
PACKET  BBS  in  VK5,  and  so  far  is  going  well,  I  am  using  the MSYS
Program.

As we can see there is lot of other stations using a similar  set  up,  with
the   WINLINK Program, which i forward mail into and receives mail from those
stations  with  the winlink set up, and they go well together, with every now
and then a minor cliche, probably due to propagation, but that is not much  to
worry about...

Now the only problem i get with winlink stations that they are as MBO  or BBS
is,if they try to connect into the MSYS PACTOR BBS via just the  Keyboard  as
users,then what msys dose,just throw them out after a while,(disconnect them).

Now they keep blaming MSYS,and i  say  that  there  is  nothing  wrong  with
MSYS,and  there  is  nothing  to alter to it,i say that the problem is in the
WINLINK software...You may ask why you saying that  !!!,  I  am  saying  that
because,  i  done  lots  and severe testing, by connecting to my self, on the
Pactor mode, using another TNC another Radio with a dummy load with  5  watts
only,on  both  systems so the transmission will  not  go out on air, because i
was using some of the WINLINK MBO's callsigns just to  see  if  MSYS  have  a
problem...

The  Answer is No !! MSYS performed ok, by using several programs, and using
some of the winlink MBO's call's connecting to the same PACTOR BBS VK5RQ...

Program i used are....

PACTERM, PAKET 6, HM2PLUS, XPKAM, all those programs went well, but  only  if
someone connects with WINLINK we are getting that problem...

So  please  someone  tell  me where is the problem then, if just WINLINK only
have that problem,where all the other programs do not....

Also i can connect with a WINLINK MBO. from MSYS keyboard, with no problems,
but the other way round it can not be done...Now we are talking WINLINK MBO's
and MSYS PACTOR/MBO's call them what you like...

I  see  it,  that  WINLINK is sending something to MSYS as a BBS/MBO connect,
while  the  station  is trying to use winlink, just like a normal multy  mode
program, I know that WINLINK to WINLINK Keyboard is ok,then same as MSYS  to
MSYS  keyboard  is ok, and MSYS to WINLINK keyboard is ok, so why  WINLINK to
MSYS keyboard dose not work,  again  my  judgment  is  again  that  there  is
something to be altered  in WINLINK, and it is no good, anyone tell me, " BUT
WINLINK  GOES  OK,  WITH FBB " Well MSYS is also go well with FBB and most of
the other BBS programs, But we are talking PACTOR to PACTOR, not Pactor MBO
into VHF PACKET...

I hope someone comes up with the solution... ( NOTE THERE IS  NOTHING  TO  BE
ALTERED OR CHANGED IN THAT RESPECT IN THE MSYS PROG AS I SEE IT)

73's  DE JOE VK5RQ....
