5.7 PTC-Mailbox
The PTC-IIex contains its own built-in mailbox. The mailbox files are stored in static
RAM and remain there even when the power supply is turned off. The maximum
allowable file length and the number of files in the mailbox is only limited by the amount
of free memory. Filenames may be a maximum of 10 characters long, and should contain
no special characters. The PTC truncates all over long filenames after 10 characters, no
difference being made between upper and lower case letters.
Entering the Help command via PACTOR the mailbox of the PTC-IIex displays the
following list.
<pactor remote commands>
h(elp) q(rt) da(te) ti(me)
d(ir) w(rite) r(ead) del(ete)
sh(ow) v(ersion) p(hase) lo(g)
c(heck) cl(r) l(ist) s(end)
be(ll) u(ser) pos(ition)
characters within brackets are optional.
For more information type: h command (eg: help send).
