Hi David

I'm Bill N4XEO and I'm in Fort Pierce.

I assume that you and Dan are now on the lists.  There are 3 total you 
should be on. One is the FADCA list

List-Subscribe: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/fadca>,
         <mailto:fadca-request at mailman.qth.net?subject=subscribe>

Next are TWO fpac lists
One is sponsored by myself and is/was mainly for the dos version of fpac

List-Subscribe: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/fpac>,
         <mailto:fpac-request at mailman.qth.net?subject=subscribe>

And the second is sponged by f6fbb and it is mainly for the linux version

List-Subscribe: <http://mailman.f6fbb.org/mailman/listinfo/fpac>,
         <mailto:fpac-request at f6fbb.org?subject=subscribe>


I don't know what you are looking for so I've added a few things to the 
list below.


Here is the latest and greatest, and here is the web page, the telpac code is
at the bottom of the page....

http://db0lj.dyndns.org/pub/dl5di-soft/

Also just yesterday Chuck put out a message on the lists about things that 
we need added/fixed in FBB etc. Here is a copy of it.


I wish we had some good coding people that could look at Jean-Paul's
To Do list and work on a couple of things, one is the addition of UI handling
across network (that would take care of your digi issue too) and the other
is to look at the flex mechanism which allows a flex node to build up the
network, but you do have to tell the new device about the neighbors, once
it knows them it will exchange routing data with them and build the tables.
By having to load in a very simple table that ID's the neighbor switches that
tells the near neighbors that this switch is allowed to receive tables and
is a part of the network. Beyond that there is some other stuff that would
be good to do, but those are the two things that really need to be done.




Here is a snip about the latest FPAC software.

I have uploaded all the FPAC 3.25 binary files here :

http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/fpac/fpac325_i386/

They are compiled on my 2.6 kernel Linux system with recent glibc libraries.
I don't know if it will work with 2.4 kernel.
So, if someone wants to try it ....

The fpac.sh script in the parent directory will start the application.
fpac.conf configuration file must be in /etc/ax25/





Well how is THIS for starters.....

Tomorrow I'll send out a message about my new LINUX fpac box running here.


Think about it .....
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
