• Weekly nodelist report on noteworthy changes (059)

    Hi All,

    Nigel has now become the host for net 124:

    Host,124,Net_Coordinator,Plano_Tx,Nigel_Reed,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XA,INA:bbs.endofthelinebbs.com,IBN,PING

    He still has to configure his system to reflect that, though:
    1:124/0 bbs.endofthelinebbs.com:24554 2604:880:52:866:f1d0:1:124:5016 No such AKA.
    1:124/0 bbs.endofthelinebbs.com:24554 192.138.210.158 No such AKA.

    New RIN in R50: ,701,Jungle_Deere_Nest,SunHill,Ivan_Nazaroff,-Unpublished-,300,CM,IBN,INA:fido.club.noho.st
    There is a tcp connect, but no mailer responding on the binkp port?

    New node in net 382 (Serbia): ,200,Pilot_Pirx_BBS,Belgrade,Artem_Nemenchinsky,-Unpublished-,300,CM,IBN,INA:164.92.205.248
    Connect with binkd/1.1a-115/Linux.


    Regards, Wilfred

    That has been taken care of on the binkd side. I just need to recycle the bbs for it to pick up the node addition which I will do later.

    Confirmed!

    Great!

    Hi All,

    New node in net 153: ,153,Silent_Node,Prince_George_BC,John_Gerwing,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XA,INA:silentnode.ddns.net,IBN
    Connect with: BinkIT/2.41,JSBinkP/4,sbbs3.20b/Win32
    BinkIT in combination with FreqIT (if configured) can only support XW, so XA is wrong.

    In net 123 still: ,1185,Slinky's_Place,Phenix_City_AL_USA,Steven_Bennett,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA:slinkybbs.com,IBN,U,Shut_down_early_Nov_2024
    Why isn't this node removed already, and why wasn't the Down flag used?

    "New" node in net 250: ,101,TCOB1-back-stop,Connemara_EIRE,Sean_Rima,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XX,INA:binkd.rima.ie,IBN
    Connect with BBBS/LiR v4.10 Toy-7

    New host for net 263: Host,263,Ireland(EIRE)_Net,Letterfrack_Galway_Ireland,Sean_Rima,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XX,INA:binkd.rima.ie,IBN
    Net 263 tests OK for both nodes and the host.

    I don't understand why Sean also "needs" a node number in net 250? It's only an AKA for his Host/Node in net 263.
    And he shows this AKA: 2:26/0.0@fidonet which doesn't exist in the nodelist, and do we really need another Region with only 2 nodes?

    There is a tcp connect, but no mailer responding on the binkp port?

    There is now a normal connect with: jNode ver. 1.5
    Is this a new mailer?

    I vagely recall having seen jNode as a mailer before but I do not recall where.

    I did a search: It hasn't been mentioned in this area before.

    I found it on github: https://github.com/annmuor/jnode

    It hasn't been updated in 9 years, so it isn't new. ;-)

    BinkP mailer in HotDogEd is based on jNode. So not very new.

    Ah, I am not sure of what flags what supports. I'll get that corrected.

    I think most people don't know the details, and just put XA in the list. :-(

    In the Z2 nodelist epilog (http://many-glacier.dyndns.org/nodelist/NODELIST.066), there is a nice table for these flags.

    And you should know, when a node is IBN only it can only support the WaZOO protocol. That narrows it down a lot! And leaves only XW and XX, and the choice comes down to the implementation details of the freq processor used by a node.

    Thank you for this information, as I am thinking about adding FREQ
    capability to my system (running Synchronet).

    Can you tell me how you know that IBN-only can only use the WaZOO
    protocol? I'm unable to find any info on that. Also how can we tell
    that BinkIT/FreqIT cannot do update requests (XX)?

    General info on Bark/WaZOO would also be nice to read about.

    Thanks.

    Ok.

    Can you tell me how you know that IBN-only can only use the WaZOO protocol?

    I educated myself when I was wondering about these flags. ;-)

    Bark is an extension to the FTS-0001 (modem) protocol. Binkp is a completely different protocol, so by definition it can not speak bark.

    Bark is described in this document: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0008.003

    I'm unable to find any info on that.

    I started on the ftsc website, and searched for 'bark'...

    Btw: Wazoo file requests are described in: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0006.002

    And that basically is sending .req files. And as any mailer can send files, binkd can support file request, if you install a (external) file request processor.

    Also how can we tell that BinkIT/FreqIT cannot do update requests
    (XX)?

    I tested this, and later confirmed it with Rob.

    General info on Bark/WaZOO would also be nice to read about.

    See above...
