[Dxspider-support] CCCLuster PC92 C (was "the results are in ...")

[Dirk Koopman]

I think CCCluster is can be configured to use PC92 C (maybe A & D as 
well) - meaning either read/process/write PC92 C or not at all. My 
failure to remember his buffering problems caused a knee jerk reaction 
to enable ip addresses in PC92 C. Needless to say, I suspect, he has 
moved to protect himself. And can (or should) blame him.

So in the spirit of trying to be cooperative would all DXSpider nodes 
that have

set/var $DXProt::pc92c_ipaddr_enable 1


in their /spider/scripts/startup - PLEASE comment it out.

And then, in the local console type:

set/var $DXProt::pc92c_ipaddr_enable 0


to disable it in the current node instance.

Thank you in advance

This is why, I think, the $DXProt::pc92c_ipaddr_enable parameter was set to 0 by default (it was 1 originally). These records (with [especially IPV6] addresses get very large. Not a problem for perl programs but for compiled languages like Visual Basic it is.
