<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </DIV>Greetings,<BR><BR>I find SSID a bit
of a stumbling block, not much of an assist...<BR>Back to the beginning of
this reflector SSID seems like a silent subject.<BR>My task is to pick SSIDs
for my station(s).<BR>I expect to have 2 jnos and maybe 4 or 5 xcievers under
my call at some times.<BR><BR>I find no "standard", and my neighborhood seems
disparate except for BBS are mostly "-1" locally.<BR>"Mostly" is not
OK?<BR>The jnos "connect" is my most failing command - it doesn't go beyond
"connected" if I choose the wrong SSID.<BR>Yes - I've been using jnos to
"surf" the RF like my Internet browser...<BR>The tools in jnos to sort out
SSIDs of other stations are missing (I'm not intimating adding tools)?<BR>MSYS
has a few associated with the "J" command I find useful on one neighbor -
that's my best shot "on the air".<BR>Naturally you wonder about my "problem"
if most are "-1"?<BR>One tool I find a bit of a kludge is "tracing then
grepping" beacon text - but then beacons are not consistent
either...<BR><BR>This may be the nature of the AX.25 beast, and may also be a
minor inconvenience for everyone.<BR>I don't believe there is a jnos problem
in SSID management, perhaps more inexperience in one jnos user.<BR>I wonder if
anyone has made management of SSID into a no-brainer?<BR>What's the
trick?<BR><BR>73<BR>Skip
