<DIV>I have to say it doesn't cause a problem here. My Spider links to an AR-Cluster node 4.4.23 and has not suffered a single disconnect. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I presume the default setting of obscount is 2. How do I check that and how is it changed if required?</DIV>

<DIV>In other words, the attempted AR Cluster bug fix causes problems for</DIV>
<DIV>links between AR Cluster and Dx Spider. Perhaps the AR Cluster author</DIV>
<DIV>should have spent a bit more time on his fix. After all, it was only</DIV>
<DIV>reported by K1TTT to the AR Cluster reflector on Sep 25, 2001.</DIV>
