Hi Ian,

I am running the Linux version and am trying to set up a connection to
another cluster (per section 3.5).  In DXVars.pm there are two places
to enter a callsign, $mycall and $myalias.  Neither refers to sysop.


I set $mycall to N7XY (this is the callsign of the node), and if I try
to log in under that call, I get a message "Sorry N7XY you are
connected to me on another port." I can log in under the $myalias call
(which I set to N7XY-3), but if I try to issue a command such as
set/node, I get the response "Not Allowed".

Thank you for taking a look at this.

Bob
