[nos-bbs] Linux/NOS assistance.

[John Ronan]

Hi All,

I'm new to the list and I'm just starting out (again) on the jnos path.  
I did have jnos running many years ago (mid 90's I think), but it's been 
so long, you may as well assume I know nothing.

My goal is a PMS system suitable for Emcomm use.  It seems to be much 
more suited to the task than anything else.

I'm running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS here and plan to do to:

a) set up a 'hub'/aggregation point in Ireland.  It will be hosted in a 
data centre in work, from here I'd like to get an AXIP tunnel (maybe 
more than one) out to other countries  (no RF ports). It could also act 
as a BBS and anything else useful.

b) set up my own jnos installation on my home machine.  I've got several 
ports already in use using linux kernel ax25 sockets, so I'd like to use 
those as is.  I happen to have a few static IP's that aren't in use, so 
you might comment if I could bridge the Jnos installation onto my local 
lan segment and give it a separate, externally accessible IP.

Any thoughts or assistance appreciated (or indeed pointers to a page 
answering my questions).

Regards
John
