6pack multi-drop

Has the multi-drop function in 6-pack been done yet for Linux? I have been playing with a single TNC and really like how it handles the channel. Would like to be able to use the multi-drop function, but all documentation says it has not been implemented yet.

Hello all,

Is there any way to get node to run an external program interactively? It does a great job executing a command like "echo" from the ExtCmd section, and then sending the results out over packet, but if you try to launch an interactive program like mail or irssi, you get the following error:

stdin: is not a tty

Is there a way to get node to spawn an interactive linux command with the callsign as the username?

thanks in advance for the help,

You might look into wrapping the desired command in something like the pty-redir or ptybuffer utilities. There are links to these at freshmeat.

Alternately, you could use ax25d instead of a node program to start the programs, or wrap the program in something like the Socket Window tool and have it listen on a tcp/ip port.

Further to my previous, look also at the netscript package.
