Hi Steve,
Maybe you can help... Myself and another ham are setting up a bbs here in Swansea, UK. WinFBB(16) with BPQ... Any pointers ??? I have both software installed - latest Winfbb and BPQ 4.08b (with ll's) - onto a windows 95 osr2 box I have bpqcode.exe running from the autoexec and winfbb runs fine. However... I don't have a clue on the routes... ports.. virtual or otherwise!? The tnc is a tiny2 in kiss mode and can be accessed from windows using Hyperterminal. But on sending beacons etc from bbs, nothing goes outward to tnc.. no lights. Once it's working I'll also be needing to fwd and recv bulls and mail from an internet link to LinFBB... Could you supply some well needed input ? Maybe take a gander at the config ? It's below: BPQ ; For Version 4.08 ; ; ; CONFIGURATION FILE FOR G8BPQ SWITCH SOFTWARE ; ; The program which converts this text file to binary ; form is currently very crude - be VERY careful when ; editing this file! ; ; ; The order of parameters in not important, but they ; all must be specified - there are no defaults ; ; ; HOSTINTERRUPT=127 ; Sets the Interrupt used to access BPQ Host Mode. Will ; normally be 127, but may be changed if this clashes with ; other software. BTRIEVE seems to use 127, so if you are ; using it, try INTERRUPT=126 ; Memory Usage. If EMS=1, the system will attempt to put its ; data area into EMS Memory. At the moment it makes no attempt ; to manage sharing of the EMS window, so you must not run any other ; software using EMS. ; ; Setting EMS=1 seems to cause problems with Desqview. I suggest it ; is only used with non-DV installations. ; ; EMS=0 ; dont use EMS RAM ; ; I seem to have problems with systems not using DESQVIEW - especially ; NNA BBS's.

Thanks for the reply Steve.
I've corrected the 9600 port speed. It was correct at 4800 but I reconfigured the tnc to 9600 now. bpqconfig file reflects this too. I'm getting confused at all the "ports"... Lets deal with BPQ seperate... as I think this is where the problem lies. It just can't seem to see the tnc. Here is the relevant entry in the config file... ; The basic format is: ; ; TNCPORT ; COM=n ; COMBIOS port number ; APPLMASK=nn ; Defaults to 1 (BBS) ; APPLFLAGS=nn ; Defaults to 6 ; ENDPORT ; ; ; Dont try to define more than 16 ports. ; TNCPORT COM=1 ENDPORT ; ; AX25 PORT DEFINITIONS ; ; PORT ID=144.950 Mhz 1200 Baud TYPE=ASYNC PROTOCOL=KISS IOADDR=3F8H INTLEVEL=4 SPEED=9600 CHANNEL=A QUALITY=10 MAXFRAME=2 TXDELAY=500 SLOTTIME=100 PERSIST=64 FULLDUP=0 FRACK=7000 RESPTIME=2000 RETRIES=10 PACLEN=120 ENDPORT The TNC is on com1 3F8H irq 4 - standard settings.
