Now, type "S [callsign]" to SEND a message to the MailDrop's SYSOP. If
you omit the call sign, the MailDrop will address the message to the
MYMAIL or MYCALL call sign. Messages sent with the S command are
considered Private unless they are sent to "ALL" or to "QST".
S WX2BBB {The "SEND callsign" command}
Subject: {MailDrop's Subject prompt}
I WILL BE GOING {Your subject entry}
Enter message, ^Z (CTRL-Z) or /EX to end {MailDrop answers you}
YEAH, I GOT THE MAILING AND WILL {Type your message to WX2BBB}
BE GLAD TO PICK YOU UP. WHAT TIME
DO YOU WANT ME THERE? IS MARY
GOING? CUL. WX1AAA
/EX {End the message with /EX}
[AEA PK-232M] 16508 free (A,B,H,J,K,L,R,S,V,?) > {MailDrop's prompt}
NOTE: If the message was ended with the "/EX", the last line will
contain a "/E" when the message is read. To avoid this, use
the <CTRL-Z> to end messages.
5.5.6 Log Off and Disconnect
You're finished with this session. Time to log off the MailDrop.
[AEA PK-232M] 16508 free (A,B,H,J,K,L,R,S,V,?) > {MailDrop's prompt}
Now, type "B" (for Bye) to LOG OFF the MailDrop.
B {The Bye command}
The MailDrop issues an immediate disconnect command to your PK-232 and
the connection is over.
*** DISCONNECTED {PK-232's status line}
5.6 Sample MailDrop Session - MailDrop SYSOP's Point of View
Here is a transcription of the entire session described in the
previous section, exactly as it would appear to the MailDrop's
operator (SYSOP). We're assuming that the MDMON command is set to ON.
When MDMON is ON, you have the ability to supervise the activities of
any station logged on to your MailDrop and - if needed - take any
corrective action.

You have mail
