Thanks Karel,
<<When did you start using RFSM?
I started when it was first put up on this list - about 6 mnths ago?
I have updated to the current version .49 . If find propogation to
your server I will try a connect. Thanks for the mention about
running an FTP server. I will look into that.
When RFSM allows me to change the place of send and rec.
directorys, should I be placing these in some file sharing area in winXP?
My intention, if no other method is described, was to set up my
server PC (the RFSM2400 base station) to be a remote access client
of another PC, connected via the internet. And by that means,
retrieve and deposit files for transmission to the field stations
PC. I might enable more than one remote access connection, so
multiple controllers can send / rec. messages to the field stations
Part of the puzzle for me is that windows and Linux are not my
native language. Classic Mac OS is what i prefer. Or Fortran 77 on
DEC RSX11M Plus. Or HPGL. Sorry, I'm a mainframe guy, not a LAN wiz.
So when it comes to scripts and the like, I have to study the wiki
or something online to educate myself with the terminology being used.
When I started with PSKmail, it was the old way, install dozens of
rpms and YUM commands and, with quite some help from Rein and Per,
got it working as client.
When the CD live distros came available, I used those and plugged
away quietly because everybody else was starting the new modes and I
just learnt from those messages on this list, what to do.
But to change to a new distro meant getting a CD burnt from a
friend and the 3 or 4 weeks delay means I always have last years version.
Yes I can browse the internet, call up the Norway ? weather forecast.
But the email I cannot connect.
This is probably not the problem in PSKmail, because I cannot
connect to my email using MS outlook express, for instance, either.
I use a webmail service to access that email account. I can do a
basic email connection on dialup, on my own line. But i cannot do it
on the shared ADSL line, broadband, which is supplied by a different ISP.
Perhaps I have other options:
1/ setup a yhooo or hotmail acct and connect to that? uderstand
PSKmail doesn't connect easily to these.
2/ subscibe to ADSL connection on my own line. Unesessary cost to me.
Apologies I'm discussing 2 subjects at once. reply to each
separately if you wish
Ralph, ZL1tbg
