I'm not sure, but I don't think my other messages regarding telnet
connections (in respose to Dirk) made it onto the list. I guess I broke
that too. ;-)
To answer Dirk's question why my choice of ports, it's a long story but the
bottom line is that I don't want to shake up the troops. I tried closing
6904 a year ago and found that was not accepted well. It's going to be
tough enough getting people to change from a hardcoded IP address to
cluster.dx-central.com, let alone get them to configure a different port
(which some software is not able to do).
I was just made aware today that DX4Win is not able to "negotiate" a valid
callsign on port 23 either.
Dirk, I'll be happy to work with you on this if needed. Sorry, I'm not a C
coder, but can help with testing if need be. My vote is not to worry about
23 starting a shell connection, but to make it compatible with Spider. But
that's just one man's opinion...
