[Dxspider-support] An explanation (Dirk any hint ?)

[Dirk Koopman]

Firstly the date shown on the prompt or in console.pl must be the
correct GMT time. Eg:

Hello Dirk, this is GB7DJK in Graffham, West Sussex
running DXSpider V1.51 build 59.331

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we are back again on here as the super server has gone down
again. If someone can advise me on a hosting supplier that works
for reasonable cost. I would like to hear from them.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cluster: 101 nodes, 9 local / 428 total users  Max users 712  Uptime 3

Second, you must make sure that your link partner is declared as a node.
So if I were your link partner then *you* need to say: set/spider gb7djk
and *I* (on gb7djk and if your node is called sm6hoc-6) need to say:
set/spider sm6hoc-6.

Third, when you connect to your link partner, your connect script needs
to say *your* correct node callsign, so again if your node is called
sm6hoc-6 then the connect script will say something like:-

connect telnet gb7djk.dxcluster.net 7300
'login:' 'sm6hoc-6'

It is *important* that this is the same callsign as the one you set up
in DXVars.pm for $mycall and, in DXVars.pm it must be in CAPITAL LETTERS
ie: $mycall = 'SM6HOC-6';
