Hmm, I am able to connect to DX cluster on port 9000, but when I try to connect on my local machine on port 23 I get non-sense again. When I try telnet connection to my machine using PuttyTel, I have no problem, normal telnet connection only via PSKlink. Any idea where is the problem?? thanks in advance Robert KB2PNM --- On Tue, 12/21/10, John Douyere <vk2eta@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: John Douyere <vk2eta@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [pskmail] Re: Telnet function To: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, December 21, 2010, 1:37 AM Hi Robert, Yes you are correct that when you connet to a telnet server via the pskmail server you see the normal exchange in the client. To check that is was working I tested the latest sever and client with a DX cluster and I got all the exchanges at login and the automatic updates of the DX cluster coming over. Try pa1rbz.dyndns.org port 9000. Login is your call sign, blank password. That should work and it will give you an idea of how it all flows. One thing to remember: the first time you press the QUIT button it will disconnect your telnet session ONLY, and will tell you so. The next time you press the QUIT button it will close the session with the Pskmail server. Hope this helps, Regards, John (VK2ETA) On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 1:33 PM, Robert Krasowski <rkrasowski@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello, I have corrected my position in APRS network or if you prefer I returned from China :) I am trying server again, today I was torturing telnet connection from client station while connected to my server. Interesting, I was able to connect via telnet to my machine (localhost) but response that I was getting was following: " Starting telnet agent --PSKmail Telnet agent -- &255;&253;&255;&253;&255;&253;#&255;&253; " Hmm, I do not understand it. My understending is that when I connect to telnet via pskmail system I will get regular prompt from the machine that I am trying to connect to. Is my thinking correct?? If so why do I get thing on the screen that does not make sense, I was trying to send some commands via telnet - nothing, no response. By the way, I am using newest fldigi as well as newest server software that I downloaded 3 days ago. I also have difficulties with PTT control from fldigi in my server. Using VOX now but it is not a good solution since the level of signal needed to triger VOX is too high for quality PSK signal on the radio. I have Fldigi 3.20.23. Thanks in advance Robert KB2PNM
