Hierarchical Addresses
Hierarchical addresses (explained below) are used to accommodate the national
packet traffic system, including messages processed by PC-based packet radio
BBSs.
The HTEXT command allows you to set your Hierarchical address. This is used
whenever your PBBS forwards mail to another BBS to provide complete return
addressing capability. Other PBBS features include the ability to select whether
or not to kill private and traffic messages after they have been forwarded, and
whether or not to HOLD messages received over the radio.
A hierarchical address consists of your state, country, and continent codes, sepa-
rated by periods. Some areas (in large states particularly) use sub-state designa-
tors. For instance, a station in Rhode Island might use a hierarchical address of
RI.USA.NOAM. This means Rhode Island (RI) which is in the United States
(USA) which is in North America (NOAM). In this case, you should set the
HTEXT to RI.USA.NOAM. If you are unsure of your hierarchical address, con-
tact your local packet BBS sysop and ask what the proper addressing is for your
location.
The PHEARD command will show you the callsigns of stations recently connect-
ing to your mailbox along with their start and stop times.
Advanced Configuration of Your PBBS
When you first enter your callsign into the TNC, your PBBS will automatically
be enabled. The MYPBBS callsign is set to your basic call with an SSID of -1,
and the PBBS is allocated either 5K or 100K of RAM, depending on whether you
have 32 or 128 K of RAM installed.
You may change the size of the PBBS using the PBBS command. The maximum
amount of memory you can allocate will depend on the amount of free memory
available. NUMNODES, MAXUSERS, and MYREMOTE, etc.,will affect the
amount of available memory.
If you change the size of the mailbox, the TNC will not renumber any existing
messages, and if the new size is large enough for all existing messages, no mes-
sages will be lost. If you want to renumber the messages (starting with 1) give the
PBBS n command with n being the current size (i.e., nK of memory
assigned to the PBBS).
