RELEASE NOTES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!WARNING: There are some changes in axgetlist - the command line arguments
have changed and the configuration file format is a bit different!

Since version 0.10 the SSID handling was changed a bit - the callsign of the
BBS is always written without the SSID (or the SSID is ignored) unless it
specifies the path for connecting the BBS.

Since version 0.07 axgetmail DOESN'T SUPPORT the AX.25 callsign associations
configured using axparms utility because of their side effects. Instead of
this feature a file /etc/ax25/logins was added for specifying users'
callsigns.


Package requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ax25-tools and applications installed
- perl 5 installed


Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
First run

    ./configure

to create the Makefile.

For compile type:

     make

and for install then type

     make install

You can also install the example configuration files using

     make installconf

(this will replace existing configuration files, if any)


Quick Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Edit the file /etc/ax25/ulistd.conf to specify the BBS to communicate
   with.

2. If you want to read the message lists by connecting to the BBS, edit the
   file /etc/ax25/axgetlist.conf.

3. Edit the file /etc/ax25/axgetmail.conf to specify the bulletins for
   download for each BBS.

4. Edit the file /etc/ax25/logins and add the callsigns of users you want
   to download messages for.

5. [Optional]
   For each BBS create the file /etc/ax25/bulletins.<BBS_callsign> to
   specify the message lifetimes - see the example file 
   /etc/ax25/bulletins.OK0PAB

6. If you want to use ulistd add the command

     ulistd -c <your_callsign> -lg

   to your startup script.

Remember: for ulistd usage you must have the unproto listing enabled on your
BBS. Consult this with the BBS sysop.
