[Dxspider-support] Hamclock connections

[David Spoelstra]

I believe he says, "and cranking up the timeout to 5 minutes". So wouldn't
that mean he calls it every 5 minutes and not every 15 seconds?

Regardless, he's obviously willing to change his code to minimize
the impact to our systems. He's obviously also not a DX Spider expert. So,
he asked a question of the people that are supposed to know our systems the
best - us - and all we do is ridicule his guesses of what he should do? How
about instead someone who really understands the DX Spider code works with
him to modify his code for least impact?

Obviously even we're not sure of the answers. I saw a comment from our own
group about timeouts and I saw Mike mention that "firewall/routers running
NAT will sometimes expire or otherwise lose NAT connection" so I'm not even
sure we know how to help him.

So again, how about we approach this from the positive side and work with
him to minimize the impact of HamClock on our systems instead of walling
them off?
