The packet node is running on my main server at my house. It currently uses Ubuntu (an excellent distribution of operating system) Linux as a base. From there, it is running LinuxNode for a BPQ (G8BPQ) style node, supporting NET/ROM and AX.25 connections via a 1200baud radio link. The TNC is a AEA PK-88 in KISS mode linked to the computer via RS232.


I have written a small script for allowing details of the node to be viewed by the Internet. Visit here for this script. This script takes a while to load - is dynamic.


The system has telnet access from the node to the Internet. This allows users to connect out via the Internet.
