The DPBOX Download Page

Last update: 27.04.2000

Current release of DPBOX is v6.00.00. All packages have around 900 kB of size. You can download the following packages at this site:

DPBOX v6.00.00 as tar.gz source archive

(tested with Linux kernel 2.0.35 ... 2.2.13, NetBSD, glibc2 and libc5)

DPBOX v6.00.00 as RPM binary package

(compiled for linux and glibc2, SuSE 6.3 (should also run with other distributions))
Installs DPBOX with user "dpbox", group "localham". Please add this user and group to your local users before installing the package.

DPBOX v6.00.00 as RPM source package

(for compilation with rpm)

DF6LN, Nils, patched the boxstart program to conform with DPBOX v6.00. Boxstart is a watchdog and program starter for DPBOX and TNT (or other programs). The PID file of DPBOX now contains a LINEFEED, as usual for PID files. Boxstart did not recognize that format. Additionally, I patched the maximum line length for boxstart.ini from 80 chars to 256 chars. If you want to use boxstart with DPBOX v6.00, download this version (about 3 kB).

As you need the terminal program TNT (and probably the firmware emulator TFKISS) for DPBOX, please check the following pages:

Original TNT site of its author Mark Wahl, DL4YBG: www.snafu.de/~wahlm/

Mark ceased support for TNT with version 1.1a3. This version does not compile with glibc.

Patched and extended versions of TNT are available at: excelsior.kullen.rwth-aachen.de . Believe this site is unfortunately only available in German language.

These versions compile with current versions of glibc and other systems.
