After reading my last mail YET again, i think an explanation is nessacery
about "ttylinkd".
In the message i stated that in "node" ttylinkd kan be started under the
Alias cmd, what i mean here is, i have ttylinkd running as a deamon for
accepting telnet requests on port 87, in node i use an entry:

Alias sysop "telnet pa3gcu.ampr.org 87"
so an incomming ax25 connect then types sysop and he gets to talk to me.

and i start ttylinkd at boottime with,

/usr/local/bin/ttylinkd </dev/tty11 > /dev/tty11 2>&1 &

so console F11 is reserved for incoming telnets to port 87.

To maybe start another topic:

There are many programs which are Ham written for use by hams that i see no
Documentaion of, (Maybe there is tucked away somewhere), so here are a few,
these programs were obtained mostly from sunsite, if they are there now or
not i dont know.

Splitscreen V1.4 5/9/96 - N2RJT, very handy for outgoing telnets, it includes
color's dual screen and scrolback.

Xconvers cant remember who origanaly wrote it, but Hans PE1AYX did a lot of
work on it and it is quite a nifty program, also splitscreen capability's
and in the source you can define your default (convers)server and other
default preferances, ie, inlog channel etc.

If anybody knows of more, that are not to be found in documentation please
make them known.
