Tmsg is only for telnet though. When a user connects over the RF port, they
don't receive the message I have configured in tmsg. When they connect over
telnet, then they get that message. I'm wondering if there is a way to get
that same message to display when connecting over the RF port?

When connecting, a user receives whatever text is in the MBOX TMSG
setting in AUTOEXEC.NOS

For example:

mbox tmsg "For login {callsign) & your name for password.\n\n"

So you can set your MBOX TMSG like this:

mbox tmsg "Welcome to the AZGATE jnos node - issue the N command
for a list of nodes. \n\n"

The \n is a NEWLINE, which scrolls the screen one line. Kinda like a
carriage return would do. So in this case we scroll the screen at the end
of the text and one additional line before presenting the LOGIN prompt,

Hope this helps ya!
