This will cause the KPC-3 Plus to do an "internal connect" to the K-Net node alias
SUTNE, much like connecting to your own PBBS. When you connect to your K-Net
node in this manner, you will not receive a command prompt (cmd:). Hitting the Enter
key will display the commands available to you. To see the current setting of any of the
commands just enter the command and hit the Enter key. Whenever you are at this
"invisible command prompt" you automatically have access to the entire command set,
since you are assumed to be the SYStem OPerator (sysop).
A short help description of each node command is also available by entering H(elp) or ?
followed by the node command (Example - To get on-line Help for the ADDNODE
command, enter H ADDNODE<CR> or? ADDNODE<CR>. The entire Help contents
can be displayed by entering H H<CR>.
Text Messages
Now that the node is operating, you will probably want to enter some text messages that
will provide users with some helpful information. These messages are entered by
connecting to your node (cmd: C SUTNE) and entering the commands followed by the
text. See CTEXT, INFO, and PORTS in the Command Section.
K-Net Node Commands
An asterisk (*) preceding a command indicates a sysop command. All other commands
are available to users of the node.
NOTICE - in order to gracefully integrate your K-Net node into an existing network, it is
imperative that you coordinate your efforts with existing network sysops. There are
numerous node parameters that can seriously degrade network performance if set to
conflicting values.
The command section contains some networking terms that must be well understood.
NODE - The term node refers to a network node such as a G8BPQ, X1-J, or NET/ROM
node. Non-network nodes such as KA-Node, conference bridges, and digipeaters do
not apply to this concept of operation.
USER - A user is either a real, live person using a TNC to connect to and use your
node, or a server (BBS) that is basically doing the same thing under computer control.
NEIGHBOR NODE - A neighbor node is a node that your node can connect to "direct",
without using an intermediate node. Note that digipeater operation is allowed (2 max.).
This means that a node can be "out of range", but can still be considered a neighbor
since the connect path does not use any other nodes. All known neighbor nodes are
displayed with the ROUTES command.
DISTANT NODE - A distant node is a node that is too far away from you to connect to
"direct", requiring the use of one or more network nodes to reach. Distant nodes will not
be displayed with the ROUTES command.
