Hi George and HNY,
For a start the list of PC protocol frames is available on the Spider
website.  However, the problem here is not the understanding of the
protocol.  The problem is that some sysops (a substantial number
actually) set up a cluster, connect to the world and NEVER monitor it or
update it.  This has been the case for some time and is one of the
reasons that some old info has been floating around the network for
about 12 months!
I am interested in the last phrase above also.  Where are you reading
where this is assumed?  I need to make the manuals as simple as I can to
allow people to get Spider running, however, some effort has to be put
in by the person who wishes to run the cluster.  This is the same for
anything.  There is plenty of information about for those who want to
read it.  As for understanding, there are forums such as the spider
mailing list that are there to help should anybody wish it.
