in which they are to relay transmitted packets. The mode set by CONMODE will
be entered upon successful connect, if NOMODE is OFF. If no response to the
Connect request occurs after RETRY attempts, the command is aborted. A time-
out message is printed on the display and the TNC remains in the Command
Mode. The station being connected to (call1) may receive the connect request but
be unable to accept connects, in which case a busy message will be printed to the
screen and the TNC will stay in Command Mode. Connect requests may only be
initiated in the Command Mode and the connect will be established on the cur-
rent stream.
If a connect is in progress, or already established, the path may be changed by
simply re-issuing the CONNECT command with the desired path. This must be
done on the same stream as the original connect.
CAUTION, packets en route between your station and the reconnected station may
be lost.
If CONNECT is entered with no parameters, the status of the current stream is
displayed.

When ON, connect requests from other TNCs will be automatically acknowl-
edged and a <UA> packet will be sent. The standard connect message, with
stream ID if appropriate, will be output to the terminal and the mode specified by
CONMODE will be entered on the I/O stream if you are not connected to another
station and NOMODE is OFF.
When OFF, connect requests from other TNCs will not be acknowledged and a
<DM> packet will be sent to the requesting station. The message “connect re-
quest: (callsign of whoever is trying to connect to you)” will be output to your
terminal if INTFACE is TERMINAL or NEWUSER.
When CONOK is OFF, you can still connect to your mailbox.
