BENCA (Benicia)
This node, also accessible via telnet (benicia.ampr.org), is a NET/ROM Internet Gateway linking the Valley to many nodes across the US and some overseas. IT's also a PBBS (packet BBS) which holds a lot of interesting messages.
Here is the info returned from BENCA using the info command:
JNOS version 1.11f (80386)
Welcome to the BBS for the East Bay area, operated by
Bob, WH6IO. This system runs a version of the WG7J/N5KNX
JNOS Tcp/Ip program. It provides both 'regular'
BBS/mbox services and fullblown tcp/ip services. This
BBS is sanctioned as a part of the East Bay LAN by the
Northern California Packet Association (NCPA) and the
Packet Sysops of Northern California (PSNC). This station
forwards ax.25 traffic to N4ZKF, N0ARY, N7NEI, KJ6EO, W6RDF,
KE6LW, WB7AWL, N0WJP, and N6EEG. Internet traffic is forwarded
into the net direct.
To get help, type 'H' , or 'A help' and read the messages.
Equipment:
