Hey Guys
We have a surplus of cisco routers with dsl wics due to an upgrade.
We have put DSL into a few of our repeater locations and want to put packet
(before the 12/13 storm season)
I am looking for a config that will do the ip tunnel encap for 44 net.
If you have done it please email me vk4fq(a)smellyblackdog.com.au with
destructions please

Hardware wise USB serial adapters could run legacy hardware such as TNC's, modems, and even do such functions as rotor control and radio tuning for sat links, etc. Ethernet would connect the box to the local subnet(s) and the internet. Ideally one could plug a TCP/IP host or network in one port ( the local net... generally a PC or Mac but it really wouldnt matter), The Internet on the second port, and the local AMPRNET RF WiLAN on the 3rd port. AX.25/ROSE/NetRom/etc connectivity could be handled over USB serial to a KISS TNC.

Well Brian. You have fun. Take my name and email off the site and remove me from the list. I don't agee with what you are doing and i really do not care anymore.. Use it or loose it. Keep your Kingdom.

*Disclosure* - I am affiliated with NW Digital Radio, but my comments here
concerning features, design decisions, product direction, availability,
price, or delivery are not guarantees, announcements, or binding upon the
company unless specifically stated as such.
Someone brought up the UDR56K-4 radio announced at Dayton Hamvention® a
couple of weeks ago. So let me list some parameters and answer a couple of
questions:
- The model announced is specified as a half duplex radio, running 25W
on 70cm band.
- It has an integrated computer running a standard Linux server (Debian
Squeeze) with additional drivers specific to the radio.
- The software platform is open source and developers are free to create
their own protocols and applications
- Additional hardware and options can be added via USB or 10/100
Ethernet.
- There will be a daughter card option to hold a vocoder (AMBE family
card will be available from NW Digital Radio)
- AX.25 and D-STAR network stacks are under development and test,
supporting applications that use those network stacks.
- Modulation choices include GMSK, FSK, 4FSK, and possibly one or two
additional choices. The modulation is performed in a high integration RF IC
which talks through a bus directly at digital logic levels (no
analog/base-band layer)
- The RF IC can accept up to 100 Kbps with bandwidth profiles based on
modulation choice. The US regulations limit operation to 56 Kbaud and 100
KHz bandwidth. Higher bit rates that meet those requirements can be
supported up to the 100 Kbps rate. The developer/operator is responsible
for insuring data rate / modulation choice meet the regulations where the
radio is deployed.
Having addressed the basics relative to the radio. The idea is to have a
platform to support multiple applications including AMPRnet. There is an
interest in other common air interface (CAI) protocols for passing various
data including Net-44 packets, we have at least one 3rd party developer who
wants to add a low-overhead IP transport to the radio.
Yahoo! Forum for discussions relative to the UDR are at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UniversalDigitalRadio
One thing to remember is that for a given power one must choose between
distance, reliability, and speed. For example, using 4FSK it may be
possible to push the raw bit rate above 80 Kbps within 100 KHz, however it
might be worth using a forward error correcting code reducing the effective
rate back to 56 Kbps while reducing retries on a given path due to bit
errors.
I think that Net44 as a replacement for broadband service is not a goal
that we should be seeking. In the wireless space there are plenty of
consumer devices (Part 15 in the US) that can provide high-speed/local
service, e.g. WiFi, or even point-to-point links on some paths.
There are a lot of applications where repurposing consumer devices makes
sense, e.g. HSMM on amateur bands, or very local mesh networks in urban
areas. Conversely, there are many applications where longer haul, higher
power, modest data rate service is a better choice and this is where
Amateur Radio can fill a need.
I agree we should work to multi-home Net-44 to the rest of the Internet,
but I don't believe we should do this on a LAN level. I think at most it
should be the 256 /16 subnets and probably many fewer than that. Local
LANs can tunnel using newer tunneling protocols that can use a dynamic IP
on at least one end of the tunnel to these BGP'ed routers (with fail-over
between them for tunnels from LANs). There is no reason to use
roll-your-own routers or protocols -- there are very capable routers with
tunneling in the US$60 range that can get the connection over the Internet
tunnel to the local LAN, then use our various RF interfaces (WiFi/HSMM,
AX.25, DSTAR, ...) out to individual nodes. A did a presentation on this
subject earlier this spring --

Hi John,
Thanks for the slides, Is there a video of the presentation available
anywhere I think it'd make some good viewing.
Rebooting the AMPRnet is whats needed, new products like the UDR56k are
a great idea and I'd expect to see some poor mans clones of its
functionality following in time. Thanks to the internet the general
level of data comms knowledge has improved in the last 20 years, and a
resurgence in interest seems to be occurring. Me personally, I've got
internet burnout. :)
As regards to tunnelling, I thought it was policy that to tunnel to /44
you need a static IP I read somewhere. Technically of course it's
possible to tunnel to any accessable IP, I subscribe to a dynamic DNS
service to track my VPN end points for example.
-Cheers Max. G7UOZ.

Hi All,
I'm interested in building a tcp packet network for my local town.
Theres no packet activity here, apart from aprs. The local club are
generally focused on competitions, but there is a local hackspace in
it's infancy with a number of people interested in doing 'something
cool' with packet.
So, I've been in touch with the UK ampr co-ordinator, and am now
administering our local /24. Given I have a clean slate what subnetting
approaches have people found that work well, maybe subnets for different
technologies dstar, ip over x25 packet etc. In the UK I understand
there's essentially no routing, but have read about routing being used
in the US, what are the reasons?
I don't currently have a fixed IP, so am currently unable to provide 44
net access to the rest of the world unless I can come up with something
clever, or a fixed IP. Has anyone successfully implemented a workaround,
maybe an ip tunnel from another host with a fixed ip?
If anyone has any documents on any aspects of ampr network design, or
links I'd be very interested in taking a look. I want to get as much
right first time as possible.
-Cheers Max G7UOZ
Hello. Does anyone have a working JNOS2 autoexec.nos. running under linux
RedHat Fedora 4
Looking for the following minimum.
1 RF port com 1
1 Ethernet lan port
Converse server
Net 44 access.
I would like to use it as a reference and or modify for my use..
Many Thanks Jerry
