[Dxspider-support] Some examples. Very personal

Hi Tony,

If you upgrade to the latest build (I see you are very outdated 524), the $DXProt::senderverify variable will be automatically enabled and working exactly as described in this list.

About the update script for DXSpider, I can tell you that it works fine. But if you want a 100% guarantee, I'm sorry I can't give you that, but I'm sure there are sysops who can give you their experience with this tool.
The advantage is that before you do anything, a backup of your spider is made, which can be restored and continue working.

Hi Kin,

Just looking over your file, did you mean to comment out "set/var $DXProt::senderverify 2"? I thought we were supposed to include this?

Also, does the "Download updates tools" section automatically update DXSpider to the latest version? If so, does it ever break and require a manual fix?

73,

Tony K1AX

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:

*** Example of a connection file:

timeout 15
connect telnet <name_ip_partner_1> <port_partner_1>

*** 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 😉
