Packet
When ON, any packet received that has MYCALL or MYNODE in the digipeat list of its address field
will be retransmitted. Each station included in the digipeat list relays the packet in the order speci-
fied in the address field. Digipeating takes place concurrently with other TNC operations and does
not interfere with normal connected operation of the station. To disable digipeat operations (via
MYCALL or MYNODE) turn this command OFF.

Disconnect
immediate
All Units
Packet/PBBS/KA-NODE
This command will initiate an immediate disconnect request on the current I/O stream. A success-
ful disconnect results in the display of
***DISCONNECTED
. If the RETRY count is exceeded while
waiting for the connected station to acknowledge, the TNC moves to the disconnected state on
that stream. Entering a second Disconnect command before RETRY has expired will result in an
immediate disconnect on your end, but may leave the other station thinking it is still connected to
you. Disconnect messages are not displayed when the TNC is in Transparent Mode. Other com-
mands may be entered while the disconnect is in progress.
Disconnect MYPBBS
Issue this command if you want to cause the personal mailbox to issue a disconnect to the user of
the mailbox.
D MYPBBS
is what you should type, do not type the call entered in the mypbbs com-
mand.
Disconnect MYNODE
x (x = KA-NODE circuit)
x may be any of the KA-NODE circuits in use, designated by A, B, C, etc. This command will cause
the node to disconnect the stations linked through the node on the circuit specified. MYNODE does
not refer to the call entered in the mynode command, but is the actual characters to type.
