If you fail to properly decode the password, the TNC will send three new lines of
numbers. You will be given a maximum of three attempts to properly decode the
password string. If you fail in three attempts, the TNC will disconnect you and disable
connects to the MYREMOTE for 15 minutes. Also, if you connect to the MYREMOTE
and start the password sequence but then disconnect, the penalty timer is in effect for
15 minutes.
Be careful when using the remote access feature. You can change ANY command in
the TNC without restriction, but this can lead to problems. For instance, if you change
the INTFACE command to KISS and then send a RESET command, the remote TNC
will be placed into the KISS mode and will completely quit talking to the radio! Also, if
you connect to the MYREMOTE of a TNC and then issue a command like CONNECT
W1ABC, the remote TNC will indeed connect to the station, but there will be no data
sent to you from that connection. The connected data would be sent to the serial port of
that remote TNC. We urge EXTREME caution when using the remote access! Note also
that any command that causes a reset (i.e. NUMNODES, PBBS, MAXUSERS) will
disconnect all current users (PBBS, NODE, and YOU).
One other minor limitation applies to receiving data from the remote TNC. When you
give any command, the response is limited to 300 characters so some commands will
not fully display their response. If you give the command DISPLAY, the full list will
begin, but you will not receive the entire list because of the limitation on this buffer.
