[Dxspider-support] SSID -6 problems (again?)

[Clas-Olof Bergman]

Hello All !

I just discovered a problem with our Spider nodes using SSID -6. In Sweden
all cluster nodes use -6 as SSID.
We have a Spider DXC with call SK3BG-6 running without any problem. If a
neighbour node (also using SSID -6)
connects it appears as a regular user because SSID -6 get manipulated in
some way. By coincident I discovered 
that if the neighbour node use SSID -9, it get recognized as -6 on our node
and initizing starts....
Right now we must do outgoing connects to all our neighbour nodes.

I have looked in the archive and found a couple of messages about the same
problem from Ermino I2EOW
and he did some changes to AGWmsg.pm to fix this. Is this a bug with SSID -6
or ....???

I also found some answers in the achive directed to Ermino but to me it
looks like that the Erminos question
was not understood and no one relly realized what he was trying to get help
with.

We run on a WIN98 PC with AGW PE on a single serialport with a Tiny-2 TNC.
Dont remember right now what build we are currently using, but upgraded to
latest CVS in the
beginnig of november. (Node is on remote hilltop site without internet etc.)
All the neighbour node are defined in SK3BG-6 so thats not the problem.

Below is from Erminos mail just as a reminder of his problem:

Ok this was the situation
set/node i2vxj-6
then a script to connect i2vxj-6
conne i2vxj-6   and all is ok.
But if i2vxj-6 connects me is seen without ssid and so becomes an user
Looking ik AGWMsg.pm I have found the follwing instructions
$s = 15 - $s;
 if ($s <= 8 && $s > 0) {
      $call = "${c}-${s}";
     } else {
    $call = $c;
Of course 15-8 = 7 and the -6 is lost!
I have changed in this way
  if ($s <= 8 && $s > 4) {
      $call = "${c}-${s}";
     } else {
      if ($s >=9){
        $s = 15-$s;
        $call="$(c)-$(s)";}
      else{
      $call = $c;}
and it works
I wonder if my correction is ok
