Welcome to PI1NOS/PI8NOS, the Hilversum node of the dutch packet radio network.

This node mainly serves the interlink between NET/ROM nodes, but it also
functions as an IP router and an SMTP message switch.  The software in use
is the KA9Q TCP/IP networking package, plus extensions built in by PE1CHL.

The hardware is an Atari Mega-ST2, a 68000 computer with 2MB RAM, 192KB ROM
and an 800KB floppy disk drive.  About 1MB of the RAM is used as a RAM-DISK,
it holds the public files and is used to store mail being forwarded.

The packet radio interface consist of a home-brew board containing 4 Z8530
SCC chips, providing 8 AX.25 links without using TNCs.  The current
configuration is as follows:

name    speed   link
----    -----   ----
lap      1200   local access, 430.750 MHz
lap48    4800   local access, 430.750 MHz
ln.w     1200   interlink west,  1240.7/1299.7 MHz (to PI1ESA)
ln.w48   4800   interlink west,  1240.7/1299.7 MHz (to PI1ESA)
ln.e48   4800   interlink east,  1240.4/1299.4 MHz (to PI1VRZ)
ln.s48   4800   interlink south, 1240.9/1299.9 MHz (to PI1EHV and PI1RNI)
ln.n     1200   interlink north, 1240.8/1299.8 MHz (to PI1JYL)
ln.n48   4800   interlink north, 1240.8/1299.8 MHz (to PI1JYL)

Mail "alias", TCP/IP hostname, routing and this information file can be
downloaded from the public file area using TCP/IP (these are copies of the
actual configuration files).  Users are also invited to upload small files
like up-to-date hostname files and documents.  Please remember that all the
public files are in a RAM-DISK, and are therefore lost when a powerfailure
or a cold-reset of the system occurs.

AX.25 services are:
  PI8NOS    NET/ROM node (call on interlink is PI1NOS)
  PI8NOS-1  mailbox
  PI8NOS-6  conference bridge

The AX.25 Mailbox is a mini-mailbox that can forward mail to TCP/IP users. It
cannot deliver mail to AX.25 users or BBS systems.

sysops of this node are:
  PA0NEK (RF equipment and antennas),
  PE1CHL (Computer equipment and software),
  PE1CRC (Organization, license and site)

Mail with questions or routing requests should be sent to "sysop@pi8nos",
from where it will be forwarded to the sysop in charge.
General information requests can be directed to PE1CRC at NOS Scoop,
Postbox 1200, 1200 BE  Hilversum.
There is no operator at the site, so AX.25 connects or TELNETs are not useful.

Het bouwen en instandhouden van deze node kost veel geld, dat uit eigen zak
betaald wordt door enkele van uw mede-amateurs.  Wilt U ook een bijdrage
