[GreenKeys] Worldwide Autostart

[George B. Hutchison]

GreenKeyers - - -

The beta version of ITTY Autostart is now in operation.

The receiving parameters are as follows:

Copying -

The address for listening is 65.243.191.51:/8030.listen.pls

It rides the same IP address as ITTY's regular channel, but uses 
ports 8030 and 8031.

Format is when a message item is placed in the queue the system will 
turn on "carrier", run a few seconds of "LTRS" and then proceed to 
run a short header, the message which has been submitted, a short 
footer, and then the "carrier" drops out.

The ITTY Autostart TU is an Electrocom 400 driving a 28 KSR, and it 
works fine.

Transmitting/submitting messages -

Transmitting from your location into the Autostart system is a bit 
different.

The e-mail that must be submitted must use port 594 or port 595. The 
recent discovery that e-mail port 25 is now pretty much being 
shutdown throughout the internet has caused a revision in how e-mail 
must be set up, in that you must now configure your SMTP mail handler 
to use port 594 or 595 to transmit your data. Many modems and routers 
may have to be configured for port forwarding of ports 594 and 595.

The good news is that our K7TTY Sofware GURU is coming up with a new 
version of the mailer with a built in message composer/editor that 
will allow preparing a message within the mailer itself, as opposed 
to having to import a message from from another file. The message 
when complete can then be sent directly from the mailer. The new 
mailer will be made available at Bill's Software Lab on RTTY.com, or 
from the K7TTY website.

The new mailer will also limit line length to 68 characters for the 
convenience of those using a machine set up for foreign standard line 
lengths.

Merry Xmas from K7TTY and W7TTY
