I have just recently finished and released the second edition of the
TNOS FAQ. Here is a brief description of what TNOS is, from the FAQ.
---
TNOS is a multi-threaded application that contains a complete implimentation
of industry standard TCP/IP with drivers, applications, and support for
use in an RF environment, primarily the Amateur Packet Radio environment.
There are two versions, one that runs under MS-DOS/PC-DOS/DR-DOS and any
multi-taskers that support virtual DOS boxes, and the other which runs as
an application under Linux/FreeBSD, and maybe other unix systems.
TNOS serves as a good dedicated router, firewall, email exchanger, gateway,
etc.
TNOS is derived from KA9Q NOS, and has many of the same roots as JNOS, another
KA9Q derivitive.
Some of the TNOS differences from JNOS:
More stable
More effective memory management and usage
More fully featured BBS
Some degree of user interface
Enhanced Conferencing application
Information servers
TScript scripting language
High degree of configuration flexibility
TCPGATE for support of remote services
Pseudo-White Pages support
Local rlogin server for remote administration
Separate AX25 and IP callsigns
Fully configurable for security concerns
Full on-line help system
Mailing list groups
Remote request server
User selectable email delegation
Email address translation, for email gatewaying
TNOS is supported by it's author,
Brian A. Lantz/KO4KS, and several Internet mailing lists.

You may find the files named *without* the FAQ prefixes
e.g; 0.1dBETA.html.gz rather than the correct FAQ-0.1dBETA.html.gz
, I uploaded them incorrectly, but have asked for them to be renamed.
As of 30th July they are in the 'Incoming' directory of sunsite.unc.edu, but
should end up in apps/ham directory.
