Hi Rodders

         CDN and #DRAY are intermediate (non cluster) nodes. The connect
ax25 line shows the intention to connect gb7orh to gb7wdx
The rest *should* be the process connecting first to node CDN then to node
#DRAY and finally to gb7wdx (the cluster node). In this case though,
the connect requests to CDN and then to #DRAY are ignored and only the
request to gb7wdx is actioned. Therefore (if I have it right) I cannot use
Spider scripts in this way and subsequently cannot connect to gb7wdx my next
nearest cluster node. For "special" reasons to protect that cluster link the
node #DRAY is an X1-J node which has control over who is allowed to use it
and this dictates that a L2 connection be made to it from node CDN.
Therefore cluster node gb7wdx is NOT available anywhere but at node #DRAY.
L4 connect can be used to CDN but a L2 connect needs to be used from CDN to
#dray so there will always be at least 2 connect operations before the final
cluster connect
                   I hope this explains it fuller, both for yourself and for
anyone who can provide the answer.
