Away note¶
Away note tells a station that connects to your packet terminal that you are away, and lets it leave a short note. It is for operators who keep a session open while they step away. It is not a mailbox.
What it does¶
While you are away, a station that connects to your packet terminal reads your away message and Leave a note with: NOTE <text>. The
tool keeps at most 20 notes of 120 characters each, in this page only; they end when the page closes.
