Subject: Ftpmotd in jnos v108d
To: TCP-Group@ucsd.edu
Hello, for those of you who are interested I have changed the
ftpmotd in jnos ftpserv to conform to internet standards. I
have put the motd in my version of net and also in a version
of pa0gri. It works with most of the original ka9q ftpcli
including net and most nos except the jnos client with has
a verbose default problem that somebody changed. I sent my
changes to Johan and explained the problem. Its due to the
client remaining quiet till a remote command is ordered
giving it a V_NORMAL verbose. Then the ftpmotd gets shown
when a data port is able to be read verbose. It works normal
with net and other versions of nos clients showing the motd
at 230 AFTER the login as it should be. I mainly changed the
motd routine and added it also to my server because of the
way it was sent out at 220 breaking my ka9q net client. Since
I don't have a dos box to compile jnos I can't fix the jnos
client myself without some debugging since the initial test
with wa3dsp Doug has proven to be ok with my client by a
slight difference in the jnos client because of its verbose.
Since I can't debug and compile jnos because I don't have
a dos box I had wa3dsp compile it for me. It worked ok for
me but the jnos client was coded differently then the vanilla
client code. It looks easy enough to debug if I had a dos
machine an compiler. Here are the diffs to the change from
220 to 230 for the motd.

Subject: KA9Q NOS questions...
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
I recently shipped this to the group, but I've seen neither the question, nor
any responses, so I guess it went to a bit bucket in the sky... Let's try
again.
I recently downloaded Phil's latest from ucsd.edu. I tried to bring it up
initially with an autoexec.nos configured for jnos 107b. With the exception of
the attach asy statement, I have changed nothing, but I'm seeing some
interesting anomolies and NEED some help.
1. Hardware config:
'386DX/'387, 4 Mb memory, 130 Mb hard disk, 3 Mb free on NOS logical drive, 6
Mb free on a separate logical drive for /temp.
2. Software Config:
QEMM/386, ansi.sys, the world loaded high, 633k available.
3. TNC config:
PacComm Tiny-2 with "node" (higher speed) parts, port speed 9600 baud, radio
speed 1200 baud, ROM rev. 1.1.6b (PacComm)
4. Recent history:
Works "fine" with jnos, older karncode (tm) and g1emmCode (tm). Worked fine at
higher radio rates with DataEngine testing last year.
5. Symptoms:
A. When I issue *ANY* sort of transmission, with trace turned on, I see an
ax.25 "bad header" message in trace.
B. Occassionally, say, <10% of the time, I see what looks to the code
(appparently) like a good ax.25 packet but is gibberish.
C. Other systems see the packets I'm pumping out, and they look normal to
them. A connect request using either native ax.25 or tcp/ip results in the
other system thinking it can really talk to me, but I cannot make sense of the
replys.
I have used both the ax25ui and ax25i constructs in the attaach asy command
line, with similar results. Since I haven't pulled down the source yet, I have
no "documentation" to work with... I need more disk space, and I'm working oin
that issue.
Anyone got thoughts? I was wondering if KISS wasn't compiled into the code,
possibly... If that's the case, I guess I need to learn something about RCS
and grab a copy of Borland C++ 3.x...
Thanks,
Gerry n5jxs

Subject: KA9Q NOS questions...
To: gerry@cs.tamu.edu (Gerald J Creager)
Try using "kissui" or "kissi" instead of "ax25ui"/"ax25i".
If you use ax25 encapsulation, it just sends raw ax25 packets to the
serial port, assuming that whatever hears them will transmit them
literally (like an 8530 card). If you use kiss encapsulation, it
prepends a kiss "data follows" byte to the ax25 packet; this is
what the TNC expects, to distinguish data from parameter-setting commands,
for instance. At least, that's what I've been able to glean from
looking at the source, and playing with it for a few minutes.
I haven't seen any documentation either.

I put the file eprobe.zip in the ucsd.edu incoming. It is a PUBLIC
DOMAIN ethernet monitor program from 3COM for any of there ethernet
board products. It is a nifty way to monitor ethernet traffic on a
PC. It has filtering modes and detailed viewing.
I thought this might be of interest to the ampr group. If it is not

Subject: Anyone seen this problem before ?
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu (TCP Group)
Has anyone seen NOS behave in the following way ?
An interface is set up to work in datagram mode, but sometimes
NOS decides to start talking in VC mode (to just one or two
stations, not everyone on that interface). If the remote
station in question has jumpstart on, there's a timewasting
round of "Huh?", "Huh?", "Huh?".... until one or other gets bored
and drops the ax25 connection.
Things I know as facts :-
1. I'm running a very recent version of KA9Q (not JNOS, PA0GRI etc),
with some local mods, they might be the culprit, but I thought
I'd ask.
2. This has been going on for a while now, so the problem existed
with earlier NOS versions I used (PA0GRI based, I believe).
3. It is definately my station that initiates the VC mode, (I send
the SABM).
Observations that may or may not be true :-
1. I run a name server on my ethernet, and accesses by other stations
to the nameserver seem to cause the problem to occur most readily.
From the traces I have noticed that sometimes I will get an "ICMP
code port unreachable" when I issue a DNS reply, could this be that
NOS got bored waiting for my answer, and closed the port ?
2. I've never seen this happen to a TCP connection, only to UDP traffic.
If this sounds familiar to anyone, or if you've got any ideas, send
mail & I'll summarise. I hope to dive into the code this weekend...

Andy,
One thing that would cause this is for someone to send a datagram
with the "reliability" flag set (0x04) in the IP TOS field. JNOS will
send such datagrams in VC mode, regardless of the default "ax25 mode"
setting.

Subject: AX25 and Linux
To: "Brian K. Teravskis" <brian@smedley.telex.mn.org>
Right now, you must run a KA9Q variant such as WAMPES under Linux,
because the various people who have been hacking in AX.25 drivers
aren't ready to release them. We're waiting for the SLIP modifications
to the kernel (mostly STREAMS support) to stabilize, as we want to use
some of that to support AX.25. Also, the Linux TCP/IP implementation is
still being debugged - the original developer has left the effort in a
huff due to too much criticism, and others are now posting about one
bug-fix a day.
I find that running KA9Q under Linux is much more comfortable than
running KA9Q on DOS, simply because of the multi-tasking - I can do
something else with the computer while KA9Q is running, and if KA9Q
dies it doesn't crash the system.
It is going to be nice when we can abandon the monolithic structure of
NOS, and break the system into separate processes. I find it much easier
to modify and debug that way.

Subject: New nos version PA0GRI
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Hello All,
Just before going i loaded my latest work on NOS onto ucsd.edu
Main work lately was on tcp and ip access code.
The c command help display now correctly displays the possible commands
for the various compile options of mailbox.c
Now i am all set to get "lost" in the big lands and have a good time.
>>For all who wrote me a message: I took all notes with me and use them
as time and place comes by. Freq for simplex is 145.520 (i forgot the
30kc channel space.) Thanks all those responded , to nummerous to get back
to individualy (sorry).
Please have funn, i will.
Regards, Gerard.

Start
File Line Function Description
lapb.c 168 lapb_input The following code fragment is part of
the processing for
the LAPB_CONNECTED state. 'control'
contains
the complete control field from an
incoming frame, which,
in the case of an RNR, has an N(R)
field. Therefore, the
control == RNR test fails when the N(R)
field of the RNR
contains nonzero. Change 'control' to
'type' to fix this.
case RR:
case RNR:
axp->flags.remotebusy = (control == RNR) ?
YES : NO;
if(poll)
enq_resp(axp);
ackours(axp,nr);
break;
lapb.c 371 ackours The ackours() function returns a -1
value to cause a
FRMR if an acknowledgement is received
for an unsent frame.
None of the routines calling ackours
pays any attention to
the return value. Suggest modifying
ackours to send the FRMR
itself:
static int
ackours(axp,n)
struct ax25_cb *axp;
int16 n;
{
struct mbuf *bp;
int acked = 0; /* Count of frames
acked by this ACK */
int16 oldest; /* Seq number of
oldest unacked I-frame */
int32 rtt,abserr;
/* Free up acknowledged frames by
purging frames from the I-frame
* transmit queue. Start at the
remote end's last reported V(r)
* and keep going until we reach the
new sequence number.
* If we try to free a null pointer,
* then we have a frame reject
condition.
*/
oldest = (axp->vs - axp->unack) &
MMASK;
while(axp->unack != 0 && oldest !=
n){
>> if((bp = dequeue(&axp->txq)) ==
NULLBUF){
>> /* Acking unsent frame */
>> sendfrmr(axp, axp->control,
LAPB_RESPONSE, axp->pf, Z);
>> return -1;
}
Remainder of routine is same. The
arguments to sendfrmr are
the offending packet's control and
pf fields, an indication
that this is a response, and the
reason for the FRMR.
Note: have to add 'control' and
'pf' fields to struct ax25_cb and
fill them with the control
and pf fields of the offending
incoming frame. Also, the X.25
standard specifies that after
sending an FRMR, the DCE enters into
a frame rejection condition and
waits for a SABM, DISC, or DM
from the DTE (this is an
abbreviated description of what the
standard really says). Suggest
adding the LAPB_REJECT state
and the processing for it in the
lapb_input function, and have
the sendfrmr function invoke the
LAPB_REJECT state. Also
suggest adding
sendfrmr(axp, axp->control,
LAPB_RESPONSE, axp->pf, W);
for the cases where an incoming
frame has a control field
containing an unknown type.
lapb.c various lapb_input The code decides whether the local
station is busy by the
enq_resp following means:
if(len_p(axp->rxq) >= axp->window){
/* Too bad he didn't
listen to us; he'll
* have to resend the
frame later. This
* drastic action is
necessary to avoid
* memory deadlock.
*/
sendctl(axp,LAPB_RESPONSE,RNR | pf);
_or_
tmp = len_p(axp->rxq) >=
axp->window ? RNR : RR;
The len_p routine only determines
the length of the
packet at the front of the receive
queue. If multiple
receive packets are queued, they
aren't taken into
account in calculating whether the
window has been
exceeded.
lapbtime.c 95 tx_enq The following code fragment is
from the tx_enq routine:
if(axp->txq != NULLBUF
&& (len_p(axp->txq) <
axp->pthresh || axp->proto == V1)){
/* Retransmit oldest unacked
I-frame */
dup_p(&bp,axp->txq,0,len_p(axp->txq));
ctl = PF | I | (((axp->vs -
axp->unack) & MMASK) << 1)
| (axp->vr << 5);
sendframe(axp,LAPB_COMMAND,ctl,bp);
} else {
ctl = len_p(axp->rxq) >=
axp->window ? RNR|PF : RR|PF;
sendctl(axp,LAPB_COMMAND,ctl);
}
A condition can arise wherein a
transmit packet has been put on
axp->txq, but transmission not
initiated because lapb_output()
found that axp->flags.remotebusy
indicated that the remote station
is busy. In this case, if
tx_enq() is called by recover() or
pollthem(), txq will be non-null,
and the I frame could be transmitted.
This is incorrect behavior when
the remote is busy. If by chance
the remote has become unbusy
between the time of the lapb_output()
failure and the call to tx_enq(),
the tx_enq() transmission of the
I frame doesn't increment
axp->vs, and axp->unack is zero, so an
acknowledgement by the remote
will not be processed properly by
ackours();
