Manos ....

That is correct.  The SysOp at the other node must make you a node.  If it 
is another DX Spider node, he should do a SET/SPIDER  SV1DAY    On other 
nodes he would do a SET/NODE SV1DAY

That is correct.  In many respects the manuals were written for people who 
know what they are doing and that is wrong - IMHO!!

I cannot map a drive to my Linux box at the moment, but I will try to get a 
copy of my telnet and RF connect scripts to you today.
