VE3MIS Packet BBS

 

The VE3MIS Packet BBS is a Full-Service Packet Radio BBS, AXIP Node and RMS Winlink Packet Gateway with both 2m RF and Internet/Telnet/AXIP connectivity

The BBS software is G8BPQ Mail and Chat Server (v1.0.4.4) and using the G8BPQ AX25 Packet Switch System (4.10n) for the packet NODE

The BBS operates under the call Mississauga Amateur Radio Club call of VE3MIS and has been in service since 2008. It is online 24/7 and currently operates as a standalone BBS and has email connectivity to SMTP email via the RMS Winlink Packet gateway. We are actively looking to interconnect with other local Packet BBS by means of our association with SOPRA (Southern Ontario Packet Radio Association).

The FIRST time that you access the BBS you will need to register your callsign. This MUST be done interactively so connect by means of a simple terminal emulation program such as hyperterminal, WinPack, or the interactive feature in Outpost.

If using Outpost (HIGHLY recommended) please make sure you are using version v2.4 c082 or later as any earlier version will not work.

When sending to SMTP email recipient the email address MUST be prefixed with "rms:" for the message to be routed to the RMS gateway, for example - rms:jolly@greengiant.com

Connect to the VE3MIS BBS using the SSID VE3MIS-4 on a frequency of 144.970 simplex.
