Chapter 7 Maildrop Operation
MMSG
enables or disables automatic transmission of the
MTEXT
message when your AMTOR, PACTOR or
packet Maildrop links with another station.
MTExt text
Default: See sample
Mode: AMTOR, PACTOR and packet Maildrop Host: Mt
text Any printable message up to a maximum of 120 characters. (Spaces count as characters.)
MTEXT is the Maildrop’s “answering machine message” similar to CTEXT . With MMSG ON , the MTEXT
message is sent when a station links to your AMTOR or packet Maildrop.The default text is:
Welcome to my AEA DSP232MBX Maildrop.
Type H for help.
MTEXT
can be reset with a

as arguments.
MYAlias call [- n ] Default: none
Mode: packet Host: MA
call
Alternate packet digipeater identity of your DSP
“ n ” 0 to 15, an optional SubStation ID (SSID)
MYALIAS specifies an alternate callsign (in addition to the callsign specified in MYCALL ) for those households
with two operators taking turns using the DSP—your TNC will accept connections to both your
MYCALL
and
MYALIAS
. Previously,
MYALIAS
had been reserved for stations digipeating through your station, only.
If
MYMAIL
isn’t set, the Maildrop also accepts connections to either
MYCALL
or
MYALIAS
.
Outgoing connect attempts and Unproto frames use only
MYCALL
as the source callsign.
MYcall call
[- n ] Default: DSP232
Mode: packet and PACTOR Maildrop Host: ML
call
Your callsign
“ n ” 0-15, indicating an optional SubStation ID, (SSID)
Use the
MYCALL command to load your callsign into your DSP. The
DSP232
default callsign is present in your
DSPs ROM when the system is manufactured. This “artificial call” must be changed for packet operation.
The SSID is usually added so the DSP can respond to two different tasks—as a “base” station and digipeater, a
digipeater and Maildrop, or a base station and Maildrop. An example of using the SSID suffix is given in
Chapter
5: Packet Operation .
Two or more stations can’t use the same call and SSID on the air at the same time. Use a different SSID this is the
case.
MYCALL must be entered for you to use the PACTOR Maildrop; the callsign is used for
message routing and identification.
