5.7 PTC-Mailbox
The PTC contains its own built-in mailbox. The mailbox files are stored in static RAM
and erases its content when the power supply is turned off. So if you want to use the
mailbox excessively then take care not to switch of the PTC-IIIusb.
The maximum allowable file length and the number of files in the mailbox is only limited
by the amount of free memory. The memory can be expanded up to 2 MByte. Filenames
may be a maximum of 10 characters long, and should contain no special characters. The
PTC truncates all over long filenames after 10 characters, no difference being made
between upper and lower case letters.
Entering the Help command via PACTOR the mailbox of the PTC-IIIusb displays a list of
available commands.
At Read and Send commands (on the terminal side) without a file number, either the
first file will be read, or, if more than one file is present, the directory will be shown.
When no argument is given, then the present directory name (path) will be used by the
file system.
BREAKIN during a remote text output (also while reading a file) will erase the text
output or ends the file read.
After a Disconnect, RESEt or RESTart, the current directory is set to the MYCALL
given value. With a connect from another station (Slave connect), the current directory is
set to the call of the other station.
Valid Write-, List-, Read-, or DELete commands set the path to the given directory.
(The directory name must naturally be explicit in the argument).
