[nos-bbs] White Pages

[Don Moore]

In jnos the file used to direct mail is called 
alias

An entry would look like this
kg6bj        kg6bj at kg6bj.ampr.org

Then when you want to send a note to kg6bj you only need to type 
s kg6bj
and will be sent to the above address.

These are manual entries into that file and it resides in the jnos directory

 Looking at the difference between JNOS and FBB, one of the biggest setbacks 
I've seen is that JNOS does not use white-pages.
 
In the JNOS file, USERS.DAT,I see that anyone who registers and inputs the 
HROUTE to their home bbs, that the USERS.DAT file itself does store the HROUTE 
(White-Pages info.)
 
But, I notice that when users attempt to send a message to a callsign only (with 
no trailing '@blablabla' , JNOS does not attempt to lookup the HROUTE 
(white-page info) from the USERS.DAT file.
 
Looking over some very old paperwork from a TNOS setup, it looks as if TNOS may 
implement the use of "WHITE PAGES".
 
Has anyone ever imported a WHITE-PAGE module for use with JNOS ??
