The following are the steps necessary to create a general purpose gateway to AMPRNet using an Ubuntu Linux Server.

Design

The basic design consists of three network connections:

  1. The first connection is to your ISP so you can reach the Internet.
  2. The second connection is used to connect your normal "non-ham" devices.
  3. The third connection is used to connect your "ham" devices so they can see and be seen by other AMPRNet devices.

The following diagram shows the layout of the connections.
