cannot connect to Winlink via telnet

[John Dorociak]

I have PAT installed on a Linux Mint machine that has a wireless connection to my home network (router)

have a PAT jason config file that has my call, correct Winlink password, and grid square

I can see that the machine has an internet connection and the command line shows the available networks.

When a telnet "Connect to remote node ..." is attempted from within PAT HTTP, with these parameters:

transport: telnet target: wl2k

address: K7HB:CMST...@cms.winlink.org:8772

the bottom of the connection screen displays:

telnet://K7HB:CMST...@cms.winlink.org:8772/wl2k

that attempt produces this result:

[date time] Connecting to WL2K (telnet)

[date time] Unable to establish connection to the remote: dial tcp: i/o timeout

I have looked through the PAT threads and searched the Internet and have not found a workable solution.

Not sure:

whether the problem results because "dial" is not what the connection should do or if the connection should use a different function?

whether CMST...@cms.winlink.org attempts to reach a workable address?

whether something else is mis-configured?

I appreciate help.

Thank you.

Well this isn't a PAT issue, it is an old interface that shouldn't been active on your box unless you had a DIAL up modem for for Internet connection.  Most folks have an Ethernet wire interface or WIFI interfacej these days.

Nope. That’s what golang calls establishing a tcp connection: https://golang.org/pkg/net/#Dial
