You can find it as a part of the "D-Star Monitor (DSM)" and its located on /opt/dstarmon directory. Essentially, it is where you can send some commands (queries) using low speed data and access information from a repeater. I found the following website that describes it also briefly and shows how it operates. That website is the following: http://ladstar.org/ls.htm.</SPAN></DIV>

I've written a little "contrib" for D-RATS, a plugin who allow you to
perform a DStarQuery server for D-RATS networks!!!
The small server listen on 9100 port and every prefixed by ?* chat
message is analized to match with commands in the .ini file. You can
define commands as you need. See the examples.
Python source code and infos are in
<A href="http://www.d-rats.com/download/contrib/d-rats_query.tar.gz." rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.d-rats.com/download/contrib/d-rats_query.tar.gz.</A>
I've tested it on a linux box only, windows users please report errors
or defects.
Comments, requests and suggests are welcome!
If you modify the source, please give a feedback to me.
