LinFBB in parallel with LinBPQ?
Hi all,
I wonder if it is possible to run LinFBB together with LinBPQ+Mail on the same machine, and to make them both available to users of the node and surrounding network (incl. possible forwarding in between the two mail servers). So, I tried to adopt the procedure John had mentioned in his document 'Notes on installing and running LINBPQ', the part 'Running Spider DX Cluster with LinBPQ'. Some details follow bellow. Until now, I have only managed to get LinFBB to be listed in LinBPQ nodes list, but it is still not accessible. (The response is "Busy from <LinFBB_alias:call>" although LinFBB is running and accessible through the telnet port.) Probably I missed something in configuration of addresses, callsigns, or so ... Suggestions welcomed.

Steps performed:
modprobe netrom
ifconfig nr0 down
killall kissattach
killall socat
socat -d -d -ly pty,raw,echo=0,link=com10 pty,raw,echo=0,link=com11& sleep 1
chmod a+rw com11
kissattach com10 bpq 10.1.1.1
nrattach netrom
ifconfig nr0 10.0.0.2 up
ax25d
netromd -i -t 15/usr/local/sbin/fbb
cd /usr/local/linbpq
./linbpq mail
(Related to the above steps: Sometimes it seems that the new port 'ASYNC com11 Chan A' is not initialized properly, so to fix that it is needed to killall the processes above and to down the ports, and repeat it all once again, as follows:)

Ok, now the ax25 kernel stuff:
-- axports --

-- nrports --

(all lines start with # because LinBPQ does not use it, and I understood that FBB is controlled from outside of it)
-- bpq32.cfg --
(note two applications: B3:YT7MPB-4 is BPQMail, F3:YT7MPB-8 is FBB)

Ok. The situation at the local node R3:YT7MPB-3 includes the following:
R3:YT7MPB-3} Nodes
B1:YT7M B3:YT7MPB-4 B5:YT7MPB-6 F3:YT7MPB-8
R1:YT7MPB-1 R5:YT7MPB-5
So, as you can see, both B3:YT7MPB-4 (BPQMail) and F3:YT7MPB-8 (FBB) are in the list. Available commands and respective outputs are here:

Ok. Let's see the output of ifconfig: (There are two NIC's in that Debian comp, both are linked to the other two comps in the LAN, running WinXP/BPQ32. The first NIC runs subnet 192.168.3.x and the second runs 192.168.4.x - however I have no clue if ax0 and nr0 should use their respective addresses John had put in the manual, or something else ...)
