Specifications

For example, your MailDrop accepts the following additional
information in a Send command:
S N7ML @ K6RFK < N6IA
The above means you want to send a message to N7ML who uses the K6RFK
Bulletin-Board and the message is from N6IA.
The PK-900 MailDrop accepts hierarchical forwarding information that
is helpful in reverse forwarding to full service BBS stations. An
example of this is shown below:
SP N7ML @ K6RFK.WA.NA
The above means that you want to send a message to N7ML who uses the
K6RFK Bulletin-Board which is located WAshington which is located in
North America.
The PK-900 MailDrop also supports BIDs (Bulletin IDs). This support
is required for Reverse Forwarding (see below). The BID begins with a
"$" character and is sent and received in the Send command line:
S N7ML @ K6RFK < N6IA $345_KB7B
With the PK-900 MailDrop you may also use just the "$" all by itself
as shown in the two examples below:
S N7ML @ K6RFK < N6IA $
or S ALL $
In this case, the PK-900 MailDrop will assign its own BID to these
messages.
5.4.10 V (VERSION) (Remote only command)
The "V" command causes the PK-900 to send the sign-on message and
firmware date to the remote user only.
5.4.11 ? (HELP) (Remote only command)
The "?" command sends the distant station a HELP list of all available
MailDrop commands shown above under the "H" command. Both the "?" and
the "H" cause this same file to be sent to the remote user.
5.5 Sample MailDrop Session - The Remote User's Point of View
Let's see what the MailDrop looks like to a calling station. Let's
assume that your call is "WX1AAA", and that you wish to connect and
log on to "WX2BBB's" MailDrop system. During your session on his
MailDrop, you wish to list the messages to see if there is a message
for you, read it if it exists, kill it after you're done reading it,
send a return message to WX2BBB and finally log off or disconnect from
his MailDrop.
