- ARES/Data Conference Bridge Help CONFBRGE.HLP
-
- With the conference bridge feature, you can send messages to other
- connected stations or to the sysop. There are just 2 commands:
- "users" and "tell"
-
- Users command:
-
- The users command, in the form "users<cr>" or "u<cr>", returns a
- list of the callsigns of currently logged-on packet stations.
- Example: u<cr>
- Response:
- Users at WN6I-1 (AX0): N6KL W6BB-3 W6XYZ WB6MRQ-7
- Users at WN6I-4 (DR0): 0:N6KL-3 1:N5BZK 3:AA4RE-12
-
- Note that there is one line for each port defined in the ARES/Data
- system, so that you can see who is using which port. After the
- database callsign, the port name defined by the sysop during startup
- is shown in parentheses. If you see a callsign prefixed by "n:", this
- refers to a DRSI subport number. See the USERMAN.DOC file for more
- detail.
-
- Tell command:
-
- The Tell command sends a "one-liner" message to other connected
- user or users.
- Syntax: tell callsign message<cr> or:
- or:
- t callsign message<cr>
-
- Example: t w6bb-3 The food truck just arrived at SJ12<cr>
-
- The message "The food truck just arrived at SJ12" is sent to the
- connected station W6BB-3. If your call is W6XYZ, then W6BB-3
- sees:
-
- 1230 W6XYZ> The food truck just arrived at SJ12
-
- It is not necessary to enter the entire callsign - just the suffix or
- some other substring will do. If several connected callsigns contain the
- substring, each station will get the message. The special callsign
- "*" or "all" is used to send a message to all connected stations. The
- special callsign "sysop" sends the message to the sysop at the ARES/Data
- database station.
