: PZT bbs software?

Hi all,

At the moment I work on a book chapter related to software that can simulate real things. To reference works of others, I am interested in written reports (web pages, online newspaper articles, e-book chapters, e-books, or else) related to the experience with using a ham radio software that can simulate a hardware node talking to another node, or something similar. In that way, the sources I reference to will become more visible after my book is published, so do not hesitate to suggest me reading anything that is available - including your own reports :-))

Also, I need information where to get an updated version of Paula G8PZT's PZTBBS (Xserv) software for DOS machines. Seems that she does not respond to emails anymore. I recently made a telnet to her GB7PZT bbs and noticed it runs XServ AX25/IP/PSTN Mail/File/Web Server/Gateway v410h (13/8/06). But I did not find a way to get a copy of that version to install it here.

Finally, here you can see my test equipment:

            _____________                ____________________

YT7M (PZTBBS) YT7MPB-4 (FBB)

My plan is to replace Windows setup on the right with Linux - or to have an alternative testbed for Windows-based computer. At the moment I have here Ubuntu 9.10 as a dual-boot with Windows, and wonder what suggestions do you have about the opportunities for Ubuntu. Earlier I played with Mandrake 9.1 and LinFBB but did not try it on Ubuntu.

Best regards,

Miroslav 'Misko' Skoric, YT7MPB
