[nos-bbs] Would like to introduce myself and get some help

[Joe Landers]

Hello Everyone

I would like to say hello to everyone and thanks to the moderator for 
letting me join this group. I hope I can get my some help here and 
hopefully help answer questions when I have the opportunity. First 
off I need some help with setting up JNOS 2.0 with linux fedora core 
5 or get some suggestions on what I should use if this configuration 
is not the way to go. I have had experience with Jnos 110m and DOS 
years ago but I dropped out of it just lost interest but new interest 
has pulled me back to it and I wanted to upgrade my system. So far I 
setup fedora with no problems I have good communication with the 
Internet . I have setup the TNC (AEA 900) and it is working with 
minicom just fine. So I knew I had ttyS0 working ok and eth0 working 
and the TNC is working . I set the TNC to KISS mode  afterwards I 
downloaded Linux JNOS 2.0e and I used the installer program that was 
offered . I also looked at my autoexec.NOS file and made a ip address 
adjustment to my ampr.org  address. Telnet works on JNOS and linux I 
logged in locally and it seemed to work so I fired it up and well the 
TNC was not communicating with JNOS. I ran ifconfig under JNOS and it 
sees VHF which is the TNC  tun0 for the gateway . loopback and encap 
. Well I went to the Internet and found some web pages but they seem 
a little outdated but I think I am finding that I need to configure 
some files for A.X. 25 well the files they recommend don't seem to be 
there anymore and I am not sure if this is what needs to be done now 
or not. What I would like is some information on if I am on the right 
track and what is recommended today . I would like to setup JNOS with 
a gateway with the multi node TNC I have. I would like to also setup 
mail service on JNOS and setup a full fledged BBS with the bells and 
whistles I use to have . I know this could be a long thread here so 
if direct communication would be better I am willing to go that route 
. I used to be pretty good at JNOS but with the changes and lack of 
info on the Internet I am finding myself feeling like a Newbie.

Thanks for reading
hope to get some suggestions and answers
