[Dxspider-support] Some examples. Very personal

[Kin]

I have received several direct enquiries about an ‘ideal’ configuration.
I get quite a few emails asking the same question, what better place for
all of us to find out, than our support list. 

First, there is no magic or ideal configuration, every sysop can customise
their spider to suit their needs, but I understand that it can be
overwhelming with so many variables, so many messages.
What I can do is to share what I think should be in all nodes at least.

Let everyone modify it according to their needs:

*** local_cmd/crontab

*** Example of a connection file:

connect/<partner_1>

timeout 15
connect telnet <name_ip_partner_1> <port_partner_1>
'login:' '<your_callsign_node>'
'assword:' '<password>'

*** From console spider (partner type spider):

set/spider <partner_1>
set/register <partner_1>
set/password <partner_1> <password>

Note: I recommend the same password on both nodes of the pair.

The rest I leave to the imagination of each one 😉
