Greetings to all,

Another goodie discovered by accident. I sure haven't seen
it documented anywhere lately (if it is, would some kind soul
please let me know WHERE).

Did you know that FlexNet32 has a built in Mini Digipeater !!!

Yes, it does. Instructions below (thanks to Sassan for providing
this very usefull information to me). My interest has been re-
energized because of it :

 > just set your callsign (without SSID!) on Port 15, and start your 
 > connects from the NOS box always "via yourcall-port". Flexnet32 
 > uses the SSID after the digi callsign to route the packet to this 
 > flexnet port number. Example: To connect from any port via port 3,
 > connect via yourcall-3.

 "set your callsign" using FlexNet Channel Parameters, click on
 the Channel '15 LOOP', and magically a MINI DIGI window will
 appear where you can add your digipeater callsign.

Also, that NEWQPSK mode sounds sooooo cool !!! I'm going to see
if we can get a few local people to start playing with as an
alternative to the *old* 1200 baud AFSK. I'm curious if we
can indeed get 5000 baud.

Anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding the use
of 5000 baud NEWQPSK on the 2 meter band ?
