Thanks to Doug for coming over to SRQ to get this
thing going.  I have been connecting tonight and
having fun going through the various commands.  Still
not able to keep a solid 2meter connection via N4SER-8
with W1NPR-7 or W4MIN.  Doug, have you any problems
keeping the connection to SRQ?  I noticed this error
when connecting via any port on the switch that is
aliased and routes via KC5QCN-9:

Disconnect at KC5QCN-9 3100813224***
*** 0D00 No Route Defined for address specified
*** DISCONNECTED from N4SER-5: Normal.

So sure, we need some tweaking but at least packets
are in the air again!  KD4MZM has already had several
hits on his BBS. 

Anyone know of a good article on FPAC?  It would be
great if at the meeting we had a CD to distribute that
had FPAC Linix on it even if we are not sure yet of
the preferred distro.

Ok folks, next step  Packlink at home!  

latah,
Burt
KI4FH

Thanks again, Doug!
