The HADDRESS refers to the BBS you call your HOME BBS.<BR>
<BR>
My Mbox Haddress is: KG6BAJ.#nca.ca.usa.noam.<BR>
<BR>
For any of my users that wish to recieve packet mail at my station, their haddress is alos : KG6BAJ.#nca.ca.usa.noam.<BR>
<BR>
The breakdown is this:<BR>
<UL>
<LI>KG6BAJ = root Callsign of the BBS</LI>
<LI>NCA = Sub-Region (if any) of the main region/state/area. In this case NCA is Northern California</LI>
<LI>CA = Main Region/State/Area. In this case CA is California</LI>
<LI>USA = Country. In this case USA is United States of America.</LI>
<LI>NOAM = Continent. In this case NOAM = North America.</LI></UL>
There is a split of those that use NA for North America, and those that use NOAM for North America.<BR>
<BR>
Here is the Continent break-down chart:<BR>
<BR>
# -------------------------------<BR>
# AF = AFRICA<BR>
# AN = ANTARCTICA<BR>
# AS = ASIA<BR>
# AU = AUSTRALIA / OCEANIA<BR>
# EU = EUROPE<BR>
# CEAM = CENTRAL AMERICA ?? <BR>
# NA = NORTH AMERICA<BR>
# NOAM = NORTH AMERICA<BR>
# SA = SOUTH AMERICA<BR>
# SOAM = SOUTH AMERICA<BR>
<BR>
So, If you are going to run your own BBS, then from your QRZ info, <BR>
your HADDRESS might look like this: AK4GS.#wtn.tn.usa.noam<BR>
<BR>
The ".#" part is a deliminator to specify "packet radio" versus "internet email"<BR>
<BR>
If I were living in Tennessee, and using your BBS as my home BBS, then someone wanting to send me a packet message would address it like this:<BR>
<BR>
<STRONG>" <U>sp </U><A href="mailto:kg6baj@ak4gs.#wtn.tn.usa.noam"><FONT color=#000000>kg6baj@ak4gs.#wtn.tn.usa.noam</FONT></A> "</STRONG><BR>
<STRONG></STRONG> <BR>
Of course, you may want to use WTN for Western Tennesse, or NWTN for North Western, or whatever you're comfortable with.<BR>
<BR>
Clear as mud now ?<BR>

For most that are already running a BBS, they would be <BR> <BR>

I'm setting up JNOS2 on a Ubuntu 10.4 system<BR>> and ran across the 'haddress' option. My question is that this<BR>> address is a random address, like for a domain or an area? I know to<BR>> use the format of 'callsign.xxx.state.country.xxxx'. What is the best<BR>> way to configure the 'xxx' of the address? Does it pertain to my<BR>> area, or can it be really anything? I've seen some different names in<BR>> these fields on other JNOS systems.<BR>> <BR>> Any help will be greatly appreciated. If this is posted elsewhere,<BR>> please let me know and please accept my appolgies.<BR>> <BR>> 73's<BR>> <BR>> AK4GS<BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> nos-bbs mailing list<BR>> nos-bbs@tapr.org<BR>> https://www.tapr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nos-bbs<BR> </body>
