| ? |
Shows command list. |
| Bye |
Disconnects you from this node. |
| CAllbook |
*** command description not available. |
| CIPBBS |
Telnet to GB7CIP BBS. |
| Connect |
Initiates an AX.25, NET/ROM or ROSE connection to a remote host. If more than two parameters are entered and the second parameter is ten charachers in length then it is interpreted as a ROSE connection, otherwise the first parameter is interpreted as a port name and AX.25 is used to make the connection via that port. If only one parameter is given the connection is made using NET/ROM.
If a single `s' is entered as the last parameter, then when the remote host disconnects you will be returned to this node. If a single `d' is entered as the last parameter, you will be disconnected from this node too. Default behaviour (neither `s' nor `d' entered) depends on sysop configuration.
|
| CONVers |
Telnet to nearest World Wide Converse server. |
| DXcluster |
Telnet to nearest DXCluster server. |
| Escape |
Sets the character will be treated as the signal to close down any open connection made from the node.
You can specify the escape character in a number of ways. They are:
<char> the actual binary character
^T to set it to Control-T (or any other control character)
0xNN to set it to hexadecimal value NN
0NNN to set it to Octal value NNN
NNN to set it to decimal value NNN (no leading zero!)
off to disable the escape character

| Finger |
Retrieves information about users of a system. If the user name is omitted, shows the users currently logged on the host. If the hostname is omitted, defaults to the local host.

| GB7CIP |
Telnet to GB7CIP node. |
| Help |
USAGE
help [<command>]
DESCRIPTION
Gives help for the specified command or this text if no command is specified. Commands can not be abbreviated. Use the "?" command to retrieve a list of available commands.
|
| HOst |
USAGE
host <hostname>|<ip address>
DESCRIPTION
Tells information about an Internet host. The host can be identified using a host name (for example, gb7imk.ampr.org) or an IP address (for example, 44.131.160.241).
Returns the host name, IP addresses and known aliases for the host. The information is gathered from the DNS (domain name service).
|
| Info |
Displays the version information and the contents of the /etc/ax25/node.info file, which describes those aspects of the system that the sysop likes to brag about. |
| Links |
USAGE
links [* | <call>]
DESCRIPTION
Gives a list of active AX.25 connections to and from the local host. With an asterisk (*) as an argument shows also AX.25 sockets in listening state. With a callsign as an argument gives a list of all connections with either source or destination callsign <call>.
|
| Mheard |
USAGE
mheard <port>
DESCRIPTION
Gives a list of heard AX.25 stations on the specified port. Use the "Ports" command to get a list of available ports. |
| NLinks |
Gives a list of both active NET/ROM connections and NET/ROM sockets in listening state. |
| Nodes |
USAGE
nodes [*|<nodecall>]
DESCRIPTION
Shows the NET/ROM node table of the local host. The nodes on this list can be reached using the Connect command without knowing the actual network path used (assuming the network is OK).
The optional parameter * toggles verbose mode, showing the Obsolescence counter, relative path quality and the port and neighbour node used to reach each node. You can also specify a node callsign to get the verbose information for a single node. In that case a "which" field that tells what route the kernel will use to reach the node is shown. |
| Ping |
Shows above command list. |
| PMS |
*** Not available on GB7VA. |
| Ports |
Shows the available AX.25 ports. Shown are the port name, the speed of the port (in bits/sec) and a short description for the port. The port name is used when using the Connect command to connect to an user or service not running NET/ROM (eg. not visible in the Nodes list). The port name is also visible in the Route and Link lists. |
| Routes |
Shows the NET/ROM route table of the local host (eg. the nodes which the local node directly talks with). These nodes are used to reach the other nodes on the node table. Fields shown are:
Link - Is there an AX.25 connection active to this node
Port - Which port is this route on
Callsign - The callsign of the neighbour node
Quality - A relative quality for the path (0-255)
Destinations - Number of other nodes reached via this route
Lock - Is the quality of this route locked by the operator |
| Status |
Returns information about the status of the Linux system which this LinuxNode runs on. All information is taken directly from the operating system.
The "load average" values indicate the average amount of processes waiting for processor time during the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. Load average of 1.0 would mean that the all of the processor time is used by the processes, and all processes still get all of the time they can use. |
| TAlk |
USAGE
talk <user> <message>
DESCRIPTION
Sends a one-line message to another user of the node. The user in question must be in idle state (ie. not connected/connecting anywhere or running a program). If the user has an SSID other than zero, the SSID must be specified. If multiple users are logged in with the same callsign/SSID pair, those who are in idle state, get the message.
EXAMPLES
talk g0twn-3 Good evening, David! |
| Telnet |
USAGE
telnet <host> [<port>] [s|d]
DESCRIPTION Initiates a telnet session to a remote host using TCP/IP. You might not be able to connect to a given host due to the local operator's policy of using this node, or simply because the host is unreachable due to a network failure. You can use the ping command to check if a host is reachable.
By default, the telnet command connects to the TCP port 23 (allocated for telnet). You can specify another TCP port or a TCP port name.
If a single `s' is entered as the last parameter, then when the remote host disconnects you will be returned to this node. If a single `d' is entered as the last parameter, you will be disconnected from this node too. Default behaviour (neither `s' nor `d' entered) depends on sysop configuration.
EXAMPLES
telnet gb7imk.ampr.org
telnet gb7imk 3600
telnet 44.131.160.241 echo |
| Users |
Shows a list of users currently connected to the local node, where the users are coming from, and what are they doing at the moment. |
