KA-NODE and PBBS Directives
These directives are issued by a remote station. After connecting to a KA-NODE or PBBS and re-
ceiving the
ENTER COMMAND:
message, one would then issue these commands from his Converse
Mode.
ABORT
v2.85
All Units
KA-NODE
This command will abort a KA-NODE or XCONNECT request if it is the first data sent after the re-
quest. It must be spelled out entirely but is not case sensitive.
Bye
v2.8
All Units
KA-NODE/PBBS
This command will cause the KA-NODE or PBBS to initiate a disconnect.
Connect
callsign [stay]
v2.8
All Units
KA-NODE
This command will cause the KA-NODE to issue a connect request to 'callsign' in the usual AX.25
mode. If the connect is successful, a link will be made to the next node or end-User station. If the
STAY option is given, a disconnect issued from the distant end (OUT side of the KA-NODE) would
cause the KA-NODE to stay connected to the originating station (IN side of the KA-NODE).
Help
v2.84
All Units
KA-NODE/PBBS
HELP is a command that can be sent to a KA-NODE or PBBS. When a connect to a KA-NODE or
PBBS is successful, a list of command abbreviations will be delivered to the connecting station. For
example, the following shows the initial connected to message and the response from the HELP
command sent from the KA-NODE:
