Hi, Bob:
I do public help and not private help, so the 'linux-hams' mail list is returned to the To: field.
I prefer bottom posting, but perhaps you do not, so my response will be top posted this time.

thanks,chuck i have been playing with linpac for some time, looking for some way to set up a mailbox.
does tnos do that ?
Probably, but I have never used 'tnos'. S.T.F.W. (google)
as long as i am in the learning mode, i will try anything. tnos may be overkill, but will allow me to let people access the ampr.org if that is still in widespread use. (i just got a highspeed internet connection as opposed to the dialup i had used in the past, and the area i live in may appreciate some access to the rest of the world).
do you know of any other programs that will run in console mode that will fit my needs as a paket program?
I am not sure what your 'needs' are, however you mentioned 'mailbox', and 'mail'. 'tnos' and 'f6fbb' are 'mailbox' programs and offer message/mail sending, receiving, and forwarding (automagically).
'linpac' is a terminal program. It can connect your keyboard and monitor to your TNC so you can communicate with 'tnos' or 'f6fbb'.
i want people to be able to connect to me, chat, leave mail, whatever, and do it in some kind of colorized format as opposed to plain and simple black and white text.
I am not sure about the 'whatever', but why do you want people to do it in 'colorized format'. Whether to use color or not should be their preference, not yours ?!

my
system running linpac version 0.16pre3 to leave me mail.
the instructions mention ax25.mail utilities. if this is the answer, i cannot find a place to download these files, are they already in ax25 utilities?
since this program is dated july 2001, are these instructions obsolete?
how do i get linpac mail configured?
thanks, bk
http://linpac.sourceforge.net/doc/manual.txt contains: "... 8.3 Utilities for mail exchange
LinPac contains some utilities for exchanging mail with the F6FBB BBS. ..." IMHO this infers no ability to of 'linpac' to 'receive and store' messages/mail.
"... 8.4 Mail client
This application allows full screen message editing and browsing. It provides the frontend to mail exchange utilities. Mail client is started by the :MAIL command. After the program is started the H key shows the operating instructions. ..."
IMHO, this works with '8.3' to send/receive mail/messages with a F6FBB packet BBS.
'linpac' seems to be a 'terminal' emulation program and does not contain inherent mail/message store/receive capability.
3s, Chuck
