W0RLI BBS
| General Information: |
2-July-2007: The following is a good description on W0RLI from David, KA7IJK. "Hank W0RLI has basically rewritten his BBS software and incorporated it into SNOS (Simple Network Operation System). The last BETA version update was in June 2006. Stable release version 1.3 was completed earlier in 2006. The BETA release is also very stable. To give you an idea of what is meant by stable, one of the earlier BETA releases ran continuously for 558 days without a single disruption and would have run even longer had the power system serving the host machine not failed. "W0RLI blended the BBS, NET/ROM, AX.25 and IP functions into this package. Simply defined, it is a standalone network router and mail server for packet radio. "SNOS is installed on a basic PC loaded with DOS (MS-DOS 6.22 to 7.10 or equivalent generic). The SYSOP can connect to the SNOS PC via Ethernet and TCP/IP with any other compatible PC or router using standard networking practices. "SNOS supports SMTP, HTTP, Telnet and FTP functions. From my client PC using any standard email client software (i.e. Outlook, Thunderbird/Icedove, Eudora, etc.) I can generate and send email with attachments to another SNOS mail server via radio. Files can be FTP'd from my PC to another SNOS server location using any standard FTP program. Local server management can be done via HTTP and Telnet in addition to the local console interface, and remote servers can be managed via HTTP and or Telnet over the air. "There is a loyal following of users in the Portland, Oregon region and elsewhere across the country. W0RLI developed the software with the primary objective of being able to provide TCP/IP network functionality on a radio network that is transparent to the end users. "I would suggest that you take some time to look at and try W0RLI's SNOS software. You can find it at http://home.comcast.net/~w0rli/." |
