Re: [44net] AMPRNet Gateways update

Is ftp.ampr-gateways.org down? My nightly FTPs have been failing for about a week and it doesn't seem to be responding right now. (Sorry if this is old news but I'm just catching up on things.)

That project is now ready for service. Beginning October 15th 2012, updates to the gateways will be processed on a new host, portal.ampr.org, and the encap file will be distributed from there. Both email distribution and ftp retrieval are supported, as they were with the previous ampr-gateways host. The new gateways robot mailing address is gateways(a)ampr.org Your logins and passwords from the previous gateways system should continue to work on the new portal. The syntax and content of the various commands and parameters for the robot are quite similar to the previous version; you can get the details from the manual page for the new robot. https://portal.ampr.org/gateways_manpage.php I would like to personally thank Jim Fuller for his many years of service to the AMPRNet gateways community and wish him well. We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you, Jim! - Brian PS: My apologies if you receive more than one copy of this note.
