Hi Folks,

I have only recently started subscribing to this group.

I was active on AX.25 Packet in the UK from almost the beginning (one of
the first AEA PK-80s) until about 2-3 years ago, when circumstances
dictated a period of QRT. I will soon have the opportunity to get started
again, and things seem to have changed a lot!

Last I knew, W0RLI and MBL mailboxes had been forwarding mail in an
organised way for about a year or so, and KA9Q TCP/IP was only just being
experimented with by a few. At that time I didn't know what TCP/IP was,
but since then I have become familiar with them in a Unix/OS-9
environment. I am interested in finding out what the current state of the
packet art is - I see terms like NOS, "wormhole", IP-in-IP encapsulation,
and it appears there are gateways to the Internet too (can I use anonymous
FTP to Internet sites from my TCP/IP Packet system?).

Where can I find out what I have missed over 3 yrs or so in the
development of packet?

I have two Atari STs, a PK-88, 2m/70cm but no HF - what is available
nowadays in terms of state-of-the-art software? (Or even a year or two
old? :-)

Thanks in advance for any info,

73 de Tony, G4CJO

Subject: AX.25-Internet gateway in Australia

Hi all,
	Just a note to indicate that there is an AX.25-Internet gateway
running in Canberra, Australia. The details are below:

Internet address:	minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au		131.236.20.90
Packet address:		minnie.vk1xwt			44.136.0.31
Callsign:		vk1xwt-2
Gateway to:		The Canberra network		44.136.0/24

Unfortunately, our link to the airwaves is via a dialin line which has to
share a phone line with an office phone. Therefore, I expect the link to
be up only on weekends.

Finally, minnie's main role is as a Minix ftp site, and is only up between
0700Z to 2300Z, outside of local working hours. This can be changed if
necessary :-)

Ftp into minnie to pick up our local hosts file. I'll try & leave notices
etc. in an ftp file too.

Now if any other gateways would like to advertise their information, I'd
be very happy. And if anybody can explain how to set up an axip route
to their network, I'd be even happier!!

Cheers from down under,

	Warren vk1xwt.

Subject: Is there an rfc for IP-IP encapsulation?

A friend just asked me if there was such an rfc, but my search thru the
rfc index didn't reveal it. Would anybody with rfc details, or other
details on the encapsulation please mail me.

Thanks all,

	Warren vk1xwt

Subject: BC+2.0 compile


I am succesful in compiling the PA0GRI NOS under BC+ 2.0 up to the
final link for NOS.EXE. At that point I get the linker error:

fixup overflow at _TEXT:0096, target= __MKNAME in module FCLOSE

The only thing I had to change was an external declaration for 
'Version2' in main - which was moved to global.h under the extern
for 'Version'. Also telling makefile to call BCC instead of TCC and
use *.c for source code.

Doug
