command may be accepted and acted upon, as described under the message
“Input ignored”.
ENTER YOUR CALLSIGN=>
Type in your callsign. The TNC needs to know who you are to properly im-
plement its protocol. Your callsign will be placed in the MYCALL parameter
and used to generate the MYAUTOST, MYGTCALL, MYPTCALL,
MYSELCAL, WTEXT, MYNODE and MYPBBS callsigns, and the
CWIDTEXT.
xxxx FREE BYTES
This message indicated how many additional characters may be entered into
the TNC packet buffer before the buffer is full.
***FRMR received:
A frame reject packet has been received for an unknown reason. The infor-
mation field of this packet will display in hexadecimal value. This display
may be useful in determining why the receiving station rejected your packet
(this may be caused by a different TNC using the same callsign).
***FRMR sent:
Frame reject packet has been sent due to a detected error in protocol. Three
bytes (6 hexadecimal characters) are displayed to assist in determining the
reason for the reject.
Input ignored
Since the TNC command interpreter was kept small and simple, it will some-
times change parameters before it completes parsing some of the more in-
volved commands. In some cases, options at the beginning of the command
will have been acted on before a syntax error near the end of the line is
reached. When this occurs, “Input ignored” is used to show what part of the
line was ignored. The dollar sign points to the boundary: characters to the left
were used; the character pointed to and those to the right were not, i.e., the
line was parsed as if a <CR> was entered at the $.
Example:
BUDLIST QST,KBØNYK NØKN
