Any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to set up an igate using aprsd. I have put the following in my
aprsd.conf file.
Server second.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
Server first.aprs.net 23 hub-sr
Server third.aprs.net 10152 hub-sr
However it doesn't seem to be connecting. If I try to manually connect I get
the following:
[njohnson@njohnsn njohnson]$ telnet first.aprs.net 23
Trying 128.143.202.191...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Firewall someplace?
TCP wrappers?
Just a couple 'gotchyas' that've bitten me in the past. That error
message implies the program is sending out the packets, but for some
reason, they're not even gettting to the target servers.

Greetings again. The APRS2 Tier 2 network continues to grow, with 4
servers now online, coordinated, and standardized. We welcome Andrew
Stubbs M0AQM/MB7UST to our network. He runs the uk.aprs-uk.net server and
has agreed to coordinate to the Tier 2 standardization. Users may now add
uk.aprs2.net to their connection lists.
The purpose of the Tier 2 network is to have a standardize group of servers
to which clients can connect without worrying about many port differences.
All four servers offer limited full feed connections on port 10152 and the
user-defined filter port on 14580. It is suggested that users of UI-View,
APRS+, Xastir, and other client programs that offer automatic filter
messaging place all of these servers in their list to ensure near non-stop
connectivity. For more specific port information, check the status pages
of each of the Tier 2 servers.

http://socal.aprs2.net:14501
http://knoxville.aprs2.net:14501
http://uk.aprs2.net:14501
If you have any more questions, or would like to have your server join the
Tier 2 network, please email me off the sig. Enjoy! -73

I'm guessing (and guessing) that first is down since our tier 2 rolled
over to second and the fact that I cannot get a status page pulled up on
first.
I'm assuming that the connection limits for second and third have also
been met and thus the reason why you're getting the connection refused
message. They've already appear to have filled up their max connects. I
was able to connect to third but saw no data coming back (on port 23 and
10152 was connect refused). Fourth seems to work just fine (only 63 of
a possible 200 connections being used). I'd add fourth to you list and
let it roll over accordingly.

Ok, I found more discrepancies between documentations, default configs,
and the APRS Protocol Document. What are the accepted proper icons for
these objects:
IRLP node
I-Gate
Voice Repeater
I have them all in on spot. Is there a nice way to have one packet convey
all the relevant information? From the information I have accumulated so
far I should be producing 3 different APRS messages, a beacon for the
i-gate, a message with the IRLP node status and a message with
voice repeater information...
Thanks,
Adi

Hello everyone.
I would like to setup a Digi/Igate for my local area and was thinking of
using Debian Linux running aprsd with ft-23r and baypac BP-2M.
My problem is documentation for aprsd is poor in Debian.
So I am hoping that someone in the list could help me by sending me the
configuration files from their own aprsd installation so that I may compare
it to my own.
Also any configuration documentation on running the BP-2M would be very much
apprecaited.
I think it is safe to say Debian is the worse release of linux out today.
For that reason any suggestions or ideas about which OS to use are highly
welcome.
Best regards
Julian

Just an addition aid the traveling APRS user.

As traveler with APRS also review your station list if there is any near
digi with a "D" overlay. If there is, you can ask this digi for more local
information by sending messages to it. Here is in short how it works:
You should be able to use the digi without any prior knowledge (except
mayby that you can send messages to a digi with a "D" overlay). A good
start is to send "?help" to the digi to interrogate what is has to offer to
the traveling user. In fact you could send any random message like
"whattheheckisthis" and it will reply with the suggestion to use "?help"
instead. To cope with the small display, "?help" may be broken down in
chapters "?h1", "?h2" etc. Some offer a complete list of commands directly
by using the "?list" command.
The default setup has responses for "?voice" to reply with the voice
repeaters in the area, which basically gives the same information as Bob's
broadcast message. But there is more information for the traveler, like
"?local" for frequently used local QSO frequencies and "?net" for regulary
scheduleled nets.
Besides this there can be information about local hotels and restaurants,
fastfood stores and, maybe also important, Electronics and HAM stores. Also
police stations and hostpital locations are frequently present.
The retrieved information is not only presented as reply text, but also as
objects if applicable so you know distance and direction to a specific
location.
With just a few commands you will be up to date with all interesting
information applicable for the visitied area. What is available on a
specific installation should be guided by "?help" and may vary from station
to station, depending how much effort the operator spend to put this
information in his digi.
The nice thing about this solution is that information is provided on a
"need to know" basis and not broadcasted day an night taking up air-time.
This makes it possible to provide much more valuable and rich information
content than just information about the local voice repeater. Note that
queries and responses are only served with a restricted path (max 1 or 2
hops), so just use the nearest digi with D overlay for this, which in turn
will give you the information relevant to your area!
This works for any APRS client, including, but not restricted to, the
Kenwood devices.
Happy traveling! Kind regards,
Henk.
