XRouter v187d - Changes since v186b
===================================
- Removed the automatic ports list which used to be sent to user when he
attempted to connect to a target which was not found in the nodes list.
It now sends "Use P to list ports" instead. The automatic list was OK in
the days of BPQ, but we now have nodes with large numbers of ports.
- To prevent disk being driven out of space, with consequent loss of nodes
file and inability to read password files, logging now ceases when free
space drops below 100kb.
- Upon request from a sysop, chat peer sessions are no longer shown on user
list unless an argument is used with the "U" command (e.g. "U *"). Chat
users ARE shown.
- Now supports single chip USCC card.
- MAJOR rewrite of most systems, to support new RHP - Remote Host Protocol.
This allows applications to interface with XRouter via a TCP/IP link,
in a similar manner to the AGWTCP host protocol. But whilst AGWTCP only
supports AX25 layer 2 connections, RHP uses a socket paradigm, supports
all current XRouter protocols, is bandwidth-efficient, and future-proof.
The RHP interface has been tested, but is disabled pending completeion
of the the documentation. As a result of this work, some new bugs are
expected.
- Fixed two memory leaks in RIP.
- If memory was *very* low, transparent interlinks could drop characters.
This has now been fixed.
- If memory was *very* low, AGWTCP interface could lose sync - fixed.
- Added flow control, to choke off AX25 L2 connections if AGW app wasn't
pulling up the data quickly enough.
- Since 2001 there had been a bug in AX25 L2 connections. Upon connection
to chat call, for example, the welcome text from XRouter was not sent
until the next frame had been received from the user, or the T3 timer
expired. - fixed.
- NAT DROP would crash XRouter if the dropped entry was dynamic - fixed.
- NAT was allowing dynamic entries to use the same global TCP/UDP port
numbers as existing static entries, which could cause misrouting - fixed.
- Added a NAT PORTMUX command, to allow more than one Echolink client to
share an IP address (and they still say it can't be done :-). Also added
port range to NAT. No documentation as yet.
- If a node was already in the table, its alias was not being updated by
newer data, unless the original entry had a blank alias - fixed.
- As a result of the changes to support RHP, XRouter v187 is no longer
compatible with PZTHOST version 1.x. You must now use PZTHOST v2.1.
- Temporary node entries, created as a result of routing a NetRom L3
packet, are now stored with a NetRom quality of 1 instead of Minqual.
This should make no practical difference, as these entries are never
broadcasted.
- Previously, all ports would respond to connections to Chat and PMS
callsigns. However, the sysop may wish to prevent L2 connections to
these callsigns on some ports. Therefore, these calls must now be
specified for each port, using CHATCALL, CHATALIAS, PMSCALL, PMSALIAS
in each port definition block. If not specifed, that service will not
be available on that port.
- Like BPQ, XRouter originally used PORTCALL and PORTALIAS to specify
*additional* callsigns for a port, so XRouter would respond to the core
NODECALL and NODEALIAS, *plus* PORTCALL and PORTALIAS if specified. But
there may be situations where the nodecall is not licensed for use on
a particular radio port, so PORTCALL now *overrides* NODECALL on a port.
If PORTCALL/ALIAS are *not* specified, the port defaults to the core
NODECALL and alias as before.
- PORTCALL and PORTALIAS may now be used repeatedly on a single port, to
set up as many additional callsigns as you like. The first PORTCALL and
PORTALIAS set the *primary* callsign and alias, which override the core
nodecall and alias as mentioned above. Subsequent use of these keywords
set the secondary or additional calls and aliases.
Caveat: If these keywords are used, the *primary* portcall MUST be the
same as nodecall, otherwise NetRom will not be allowed on the port.
- Added new global keyword "SortByCall". If the argument is non-zero, e.g.
"SORTBYCALL=1", the nodes table is stored in callsign order, otherwise
it is sorted by alias in traditional way.
- XRouter would crash if more than 16 "command aliases" were specified.
This is now fixed, and there is no longer a limit on the number of such
aliases.
- Command aliases may now be added and removed without rebooting, using the
"cmd" command as follows:
"CMD <add drop="drop"> <command alias="alias"> <command string="string">" e.g.
"CMD ADD KIDDER C 1 KIDDER-1"
"CMD DROP KIDDER"
Changes made in this way are not retained when XRouter is rebooted.
- PC clocks can sometimes run fast or slow, so added rudimentary time sync,
using a standard internet time server. Obviously this only works if
XRouter is able to access the internet! The PC clock may be synchronised
when required, using "TSYNC <ipaddr>", or on a regular basis by using that
entry in CRON.SYS. In order to save space, the server's IP address rather
than hostname must be specified. Name resolution may be added later if
there is a real need.
- Added Netrom/Ax25->serial proxy. This is specified using a modified PROXY
statement of the form:
PROXY=<call> <alias> <qual> 0 <ifacenum> [password] [-a]
The zero in the <hostaddr> field is what distinguishes this type of proxy
from the ones which use ax25 or tcp/ip downlink. <ifacenum> is the number
of a suitable interface with TYPE=ASCII and PROTOCOL=TTY. This sort of
proxy MUST be defined AFTER the interface to which it refers, otherwise
it will not be accepted. The [password] and [-a] field have the same
meaning as for the other types of proxy. A typical use for this proxy
would be to allow users to connect directly to a sysop's terminal or any
other ASCII device connected to one of the computer's COM ports. The
proxy supports only one user at a time.
- In order to try and reduce the spread of #TMP node aliases, they are
allowed to *enter* the nodes table, but not to *overwrite* an existing
alias for the same callsign. This is not an XRouter problem, but an
attempt to use XRouter to clean up a problem of someone else's making.</ifacenum></hostaddr></ifacenum></qual></alias></call></ipaddr></command></command></add>
