Unfortunately, programs as XNET, TNN, PCFLEX has been abandoned. In particular the most note XNET (about 20 years old) largely used today give the following situations at I0OJJ and at IGATE (only Flex): ----------- *** connected to RMGATE:I0OJJ-3 14:25:09 24.11.25 IR0EQ de I0OJJ-3 => Value | now| min| max| nodes | 317| 66| 386| destinations | 244| 2| 250| ----------- *** connected to IGATE This is IGATE. Internetgatewaysystem for the Packet Radio Network. Value | now| min| max| nodes | 1| 1| 2| destinations | 270| 100| 280| ----------- This software continue to function in some way but show to be obsolete in some parts. The negative thing is that NO SOURCE has been released and no improvement/revamp are possible. One way to solve is to implement the Flexnet operation, specially on BPQ node and on Xrouter node being yet on active development. In particular, Maiko VE4KLM promise on the to-do list for JNOS2: f) complete and fix or redesign my very dated INP3 implementation g) fit in the FlexNet protocol very TNX! ^^^^^^^^^ Another way, specially for German developers, should be to revamp/modernize the TNN which own several good features but LACK on the capability to link a node partner BOTH as FlexNet and as INP/N/N+ at the same time :( This last could be a valid substitute of XNET and perhaps become one of best product on this area :) -- 73 and ciao, gustavo i0ojj non multa, sed multum
