[nos-bbs] More errors for a newbie

[Jay Nugent]

Greetings,
    Sorry for my top posting....

    You will find Example AUTOEXEC.NOS, FTPUSERS, DOMAIN.TXT, MAIL.CFG, and 
other configuration files on the WWW.MI-DRG.ORG website.  This is the ARRL 
Michigan Section website for all things Packet.

    In the "JNOS" section of the website we have published HOWTO 
instructions to install JNOS onto Linux, specifically onto the ever 
popular Raspberry-Pi.

    That HOWTO is then followed by a section titled "HOWTO - Configuring 
JNOS and its necessary Support files:".  In there you will find answers to 
all the configuration questions you asked.

    The direct URL to the JNOS section is: http://www.mi-drg.org/jnos.html


    Enjoy!
