John, As Dave and I are experiencing difficulties with telnet, I declare it a verizon problem (we both have verizon dsl for ISP). I'll reset my dsl modem and see if that fixes telnet (resetting the modem usually cures many dsl ills). As for packet (connect or digi), I have no option other than PAYK. You and some other CC guys show up in my MH file on occasion, but no joy trying to connect. My spin: When PAYK works, packet rocks. When PAYK is dead, packet sucks. My tower-in-progress should fix that, but it's not happening soon. 73, TK ----- Original Message ----- From: John AAR3CK / AAM3MD To: mdmars_staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 12:51 PM Subject: [mdmars_staff] Re: WL2K status Good morning, All, No issues at this end. Logged in yesterday and today, telnet direct. Using PaclinkW for my access software. Via radio I am connecting to AAM3MD-2 in DC via MDFTM without issue. Tony, can you digi out to someone else first and try another path? You might not be able to hit me but I wonder if there is anyone else closer to you? I have not been able to get a response from AAB3PA-10 for a long time so I gave up trying. You know, I was just wondering if we could assemble some map to show where our VHF digis are located? Maybe include a few distances, elevations. I have little knowledge of where anyone is, or if they have the capability. That probably would be a big help to all of us who rely on digi operation to get out. Or maybe it already exists? Jim and I talked yesterday about me setting up an RMS so we are beginning to think it through and I believe I'll get something going shortly. I don't know too much, but let me know if I can be of any assistance on this telnet thing. 73, John AAR3CK / AAM3MD David Smith wrote: Tony, I have also been experiencing difficulties in logging on to WL2K.

Is anyone else having a similar problem or is my end? Telpak is not working for me either, as PAYK is non-responsive and I have no other packet path outta here. 73, Tony AAT3FG __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4537 (20091023) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com MDC MARS Web Site: http://mdarmymars.home.comcast.net/~mdarmymars/index.htm List Serve Administrator: John aar3ck@xxxxxxxxxxx
