[Dxspider-support] maxconnect_user

[Bill Shell - N6WS]

Dirk,

I agree that three is adequate, and the only reason I wanted to move to 
four is just because the DXLab SpotCollector gives users the option of 
using four nodes.  And, of course, since there are those options, many 
users check all four boxes.

TU es 73,
Bill
N6WS
