about the changes from AWZNode to URONode and what I've
done with it... along with current version info! - Brian N1URO

Hi linuxers!

First all, I thanks PE1RJA and OH2BNS for their very great job!

*****************************************************************************
The v0.5.x release is a temporary version of URONode running and compiling
under linux 2.4.x, with glibc 6 and new ax25 and ax25io libraries. v0.0.11
*****************************************************************************

UROnode is based on AWZ|LinuxNode by Tomi Manninen OH2BNS and FlexNode 
by Roy PE1RJA. It was born initially for the aripisa.ampr.org system 
by Stefano Noferi IZ5AWZ of ARI Ham Radio Association of Pisa (ITALY).
Users in URONode can connect all ham packet world: all AX25, NETROM, ROSE, 
FLEXNET, ITANET, TCP/IP nodes in the world are now near.

Comment from Stefano:
I have a "packet" dream: all the packet networks can interchange connections.
My version of node software for Linux is an attempt to realize this idea
and I hope it can help the ham radio digital world to come back one. ;)

I thanks ARI association of Pisa and Alex Del Chicca IK5PWJ,
for their trust and supports.

This README file, the documentation etc. are very incomplete! 
Sorry, but my free time is very very very... very little.. :)

Routing features include: (in order preferance)
- netrom routing
- fixed routes
	Create and/or modify /usr/local/etc/ax25/uronode.routes, the format of 
	this file is in the example file uronode.route.ex.
	Now fixed link nodes in this file have an alias and 3 connection 
	modes, can be queried using the Links command and can be 
	connected directly using: Connect <call>|<alias> (ie. without 
	specifying the downlink port)
- flexnet destination lists
	A separate daemon (flexd) queries a neighbouring flexnet node for its
        reachable destinations, these destinations are stored on the local
        disk and can be queried using the Dest command and can be connected
        directly using: Connect <destination>
	Config file: flexd.conf:
	MyCall <call>            # the callsign used during the connection
	PollInterval <interval>  # how often the destinations are downloaded
	FlexGate <call>          # the neighbouring flexnet node
	The pollinterval is specified in seconds and the callsign after
        flexgate must be defined in uronode.routes !!
- mheard based routing
        When users are using your node the mheard tables are filled with
        callsigns, callsigns heard on ports can be connected directly with
        the Connect <call> command, without specifying the downlink port.

Other features:
- local users of the linux machine can be granted access to the mailreader
  and optionally to the shell. Config file: /etc/ax25/node.users
  <call>:<password>:<username>:[mail][,shell]
  call : the callsign of the user that is allowed to access special features
  password : a string pasword
  username : the (real)-username on the linux side
  options : mail  - the user has permission to access his or her mailbox
            shell - the user has permission to access the shell
  Users with the mail option enabled will receive messages like "New mail
  has arrived", mostly when the stated condition is met ;-)
- all users can send messages to a callsign associated in the kernel table
  with a linux username ("send" command).
- now the sysop can modified the node prompt and password prompt 
- "!" command show system statistics
- old "SEssions" command is now "MSessions"
- now "MHeard" command can be used without port specification
- changed the output of several query programs (like ports/routes etc.) also
  included more netrom specific output in these commands
- included a lastlog, which shows the time, date and port of your previous
  session, if this is your first connect, you are requested to read the
  info text
