HOW TO ACCESS THE WB3FFV AMATEUR RADIO TELEPHONE BBS !!!
I have placed a BBS system on-line that is mainly oriented towards the
Amateur Community (but there is other stuff on-line). As of now I have not
attempted to promote this system any place except in the amateur channels
(PACKET, USENET, & word of mouth), and will continue under this policy, as
I hope to keep it oriented toward amateur radio. The various software for
UP/DOWNload is available via telephone dialup and Packet TCP/IP, and through
user support I hope to keep the latest and greatest ham software on-line.
Below is the information that is needed in order to access the BBS via
Telephone -or- TCP/IP, please pass it around to as many ham's as possible.

Meg of on-line storage. Most transfer protocols are available!!
I attempt to keep the latest and greatest HAM software on-line, and encourage
all to upload anything new that they come up with, as it is of benefit to all.
Here is a sample of a couple pieces of software that is available for DOWNLOAD:
KA9Q TCP/IP Software for the PC (Latest OFFICIAL release + TEST Versions)
KA9Q TCP/IP for the Atari-ST, MAC, & Amiga
KA9Q TCP/IP for UNIX based systems

Modifications for many HAM Rigs and Scanners
Digital Signal Processing software (DSP)

There is much more available on the BBS, and I don't want to waste a lot of
PACKET BBS space trying to list it all, so if you are interested give it a
call and see for yourself !!!
If you are interested in using UUCP to connect to the BBS, this can also be
done as I support Anon-uucp. The login to the system is 'uucpanon', and there
is NO password. The listing of avalible archives are stored in a file called
'FILES', and it is located in the /usr/spool/uucppublic. To retrieve the files
listing just use the following command:
uucp wb3ffv!~/FILES /usr/spool/uucppublic
This will move a copy of my files listing into your uucppublic directory. If
you have any questions or problems, feel free to contact me at one of the
numbers/adresses below. Good Luck...
