MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE ADVANCED OPERATION
Your MFJ-1278B will respond with:
|K[MFJ-2.1a-IH$]
Mailbox ready
n free Mailbox (B, E, H(elp), J, K, L, M, R, S, T)>
First of all lets find out what the n free is for. The n free is a "Bytes Free" indicator. This
applies only to the Mailbox. This is a great feature, because all users will always know how
much space is left in your Mailbox. The Mailbox will update the "Bytes Free" indicator
whenever messages are forwarded, added or deleted.
Now you are ready to operate your mailbox. However, lets take first things first. You very
well cannot operate the Mailbox without knowing the functions of the commands. So, lets
take a look at the functions of the Mailbox commands. The functions are as follows:
B Logout: This initiates a disconnect sequence from the Mailbox.
E Edit Message Header: This allows editing of the message header. This is necessary
for the Forward and Reverse Forward functions of the Mailbox. The current is first
displayed, then the Mailbox gets the new values, according to what is entered at the
prompts it gives the user. The local and remote SYSOPs may edit any messages in
the Mailbox. Remote users may only messages TO and FROM himself, and any
message of 'T'raffic. Below are the edit prompts and an explanation as to what their
functions are:
To: The callsign of the person the message is going to goes here. It must be
different than MYcall or MYMcall.
@: The callsign of the BBS you wish to Forward the message to is placed here.
This BBS should be the one where the person whom you are sending the message to
gets his mail.
From: The callsign of the person who originated the message is placed here.
Type: The Type of message you are sending is placed here. This will turn on a
flag in the first flag box. There are a few message types, and here are a couple listed
below:
1.**"T" messages**These are NTS (National Traffic System) type messages.
This message system was developed by the ARRL. These messages must be
formatted in a certain way. Please refer to the ARRL Net Directory for more
detailed view and information on
this message system.
