DER NET/ROM --CONNECT-- COMMAND :
---------------------------------

THE CONNECT COMMAND IS USED TO REQUEST A CIRCUIT TO ANOTHER NODE,
A DOWNLINK TO ANOTHER USER, OR AN CONNECTION TO THE NODE'S HOST
TERMINAL.

TO REQUEST A CIRCUIT TO ANOTHER NODE, USE :

> CONNECT (NODE)

WHERE (NODE) MUST BE THE CALLSIGN OR MNEMONIC IDENTIFIER OF
ANOTHER NODE THAT IST "KNOWN" TO THIS NODE. (USE THE NODES-
COMMAND TO OBTAIN A LIST OF ALL KNOWN NODE CALLSIGNS AND
IDENTIFIERS). FOR EXAMPLE :

> CONNECT PF7
< PF2:OE9XPI-2} FAILURE WITH PF7:OE9XPI-7

> CONNECT HARRY2
< PF2:OE9XPI-2} CONNECTED TO HARRY2:OE9HLH-2

TO REQUEST A DOWNLINK TO ANOTHER USER, USE :

> CONNECT (USERCALL) VIA (DIGICALL), (......), (DIGICALL)

WHERE (USERCALL) IS THE CALLSIGN OF THE USER STATION AND DIGICALL
IS THE CALLSIGN (OR ALIAS) OF A DIGIPEATER. IF DIGIPEATERS ARE
USED, THE USE OF "VIA" IS OPTIONAL ("VI" OR "V" ARE ALSO
ACCEPTABLE). DIGIPEATERS MAY BE SEPARATED BY EITHER SPACES OR
COMMAS. FOR EXAMPLE :

> CONNECT DJ7KA-7 VIA DB0YT
< PF7:OE9XPI-7} BUSY FROM DJ7KA-7

> CONNECT BOX
< PF2:OE9XPI-2} CONNECTED TO BOX

TO REQUEST A CONNECTION TO THE NODE'S HOST TERMINAL THE COMMAND
IS :

> CONNECT

WITH NO PARAMETERS. FOR EXAMPLE :

> CONNECT
< PF2:OE9XPI-2} CONNECTED TO BOX> CONNECT
< PF2:OE9XPI-2} CONNECTED TO BOX:OE9XPI

IN ALL CASES, A SUCCESSFUL CONNECTION IS ANNOUNCED BY THE MESSAGE
"CONNECTED TO (CALLSIGN)". "FAILE
"CONNECTED TO (CALLSIGN)". "FAILURE WITH (CALLSIGN)" INDICATES
THAT THE SPECIFIED NODE OR USER DID NOT RESPOND AFTER A NUMBER OF
ATTEMPTS. "BUSY FROM (CALLSIGN)" INDICATES THAT THE NODE OR USER
RESPONDED BUT REFUSED THE CONNECTION REQUEST.

OTHER POSSIBLE ERROR MESSAGES ARE "NODE BUSY", "CIRCUIT TABLE
FULL", "LINK TABLE FULL" AND "HOST TABLE FULL". THESE MESSAGE
INDICATE A LACK OF RESOURCES IN THE NODE THE USER SHOULD
DISCONNECT AN TRY AGAIN LATER.

AN IN-PROCESS CONNECT COMMAND IS IMMEDIATELY ABORTED IF ANOTHER
COMMAND OR A BLANK LINE IS ENTERED BEFORE THE REQUESTED
CONNECTION IS ESTABLISHED.
