a: no
tnt can be installed also without this.
q: i forgot to switch on (power on) the tnc2
what to do ?
a: this is a well known problem.
only a kill -9 <pid> does help immediatly.
or wait until synchonisation has done.
q: i have a linux distribution from xyz.
is it possible to compile tnt ?
a: i don't know. try it.
tnt is able to be compiled on near
every linux distribution.
q: is it possible to telnet to tnt ?
a: yes
you have to open a port with the following command
:socket axspec loopback:2222
this can either be done from the window or
in the configuration-file itself.
where 2222 is an example of an portnumber.
if your_computer is con_nected to lan, then you
can do from every other computer of the lan a
telnet your_computer 2222
and also you can on your_computer a
telnet loopback 2222
and use the features of a xterminal or wherever
you did start the telnet-session.
also you have to modify the file netpass.tnt
as described in the documentation.
important information:
con_necting over a non-ham-network is not allowed
in austria due to the new law for amateur radio.
q: digi says: txdelay too long
a: modify the parameter t
reduce the value. reduce more up to a point, it
will still not work again. then increase with 2
you can do this by keying in ":t <value> <return>"
and checking the value with ":t <return>"
q: tfkiss was terminating normally.
after new start it hangs.
a: remove the file tfkiss.par
q: the libcurses cannot be found
at the time of compilation
a: try to compile with -ltermcap
q: the libtercap cannot be found
at the time of compilation
a: try to compile with -lcurses or -lncurses
in any case the library search patch can be set
with the -L option at compilation.
q: where can i download tnt from internet
a: http://www.bfl.ac.at/mayer/ham
http://excelsior.kullen.rwth-aachen.de/WSPse
http://www.debian.org ( for debian destribution of linux )
q: i can't read the mails starting with junk like this:
<HTML> <BODY background=../htmlib/hugbg2.jpg BGColor=# ....
<TABLE BGCOLOR=#cc6633 CELLPADDING=0 BORDER=0 WIDTH=100%> ....
