This is Frank, K4AVL, am testing the server version on Ubuntu Hardy, currently have had the server up for over 24 hours at 14078. I'm located in Asheville NC I chose 20 meters as I have done most of my PSK work there, and when I used the client on 30 meters I was not able to easily connect with any one, perhaps just once and it aborted, and there are 3-4 people from the 4th call district already covering that. I've just about read everything on the site 3-4 times and still it's a bit new to me.
Could someone try my server and see if it can do mail, internet, etc.?Looking at the log, it seems I have a continuous connection the the Netherlands APRS server (via internet), and that's why I'm showing up on the "users list". I send a beacon every 20 minutes, where can I look to see if that is posted anywhere? I started the server the second time without the & and to see what the stdout messages show as well. Besides what's in the log, I've seen things like "Gating PA0R, Dropping PA0R from record" , also a lot of "no aprs message in file". Are clients automatically able to add their email info to the server they connect to once connected? Also, I'm ignoring any references to gmsk, the autofile and log files are both 0 bytes. In rflinkusers I added myself using user_db.pl I edited pskmailrc.pl to the best of my ability before restarting the server, and am using my outgoing google mail SMTP server, for the time being until I can check if my ISP has SMTP_AUTH. That leads to my last question, if I use pskmail as a client, when sending an email, will is act as if I am on my home network, or do I need to use SMTP_AUTH? Thanks in advance, and please test my server. I'm considering possibly keeping it online, but now its on my main rig, I have another but will have to built a PTT circuit for it if I were to use that (I do have a couple spare antennas, lol) . I'm planning to make a presentation a our next club meeting, and hope to get a few other interested, and perhaps then we may have more servers if I can explain it well enough.
73, Frank
