-</H2>
-
-<P>Because DXSpider operates under Linux, connections can be made using just about
-any protocol; AX25, NETRom, tcp/ip, ROSE etc are all possible examples.
-Connect scripts live in the /spider/connect directory and are simple ascii files.
-Writing a script for connections is therefore relatively simple.
-<P>
-<P>The connect scripts consist of lines which start with the following keywords
-or symbols:-
-<P>
-<DL>
-<P>
-<DT><B>#</B><DD><P>All lines starting with a <CODE>#</CODE> are ignored, as are completely
-blank lines.
-<P>
-<DT><B>timeout</B><DD><P><CODE>timeout</CODE> followed by a number is the number of seconds to wait for a
-command to complete. If there is no timeout specified in the script
-then the default is 60 seconds.
-<P>
-<DT><B>abort</B><DD><P><CODE>abort</CODE> is a regular expression containing one or more strings to look
-for to abort a connection. This is a perl regular expression and is
-executed ignoring case.
-<P>
-<DT><B>connect</B><DD><P><CODE>connect</CODE> followed by ax25, agw (for Windows users) or telnet and some type dependent
-information. In the case of a telnet connection, there can be up to
-two parameters.
-The first is the ip address or hostname of the computer you wish to
-connect to and the second is the port number you want to use (this
-can be left out if it is a normal telnet session).
-In the case of an ax25 session then this would normally be a call to
-ax25_call or netrom_call as in the example above. It is your
-responsibility to get your node and other ax25 parameters to work
-before going down this route!
-<P>
-<DT><B>'</B><DD><P><CODE>'</CODE> is the delimiting character for a word or phrase of an expect/send
-line in a chat type script. The words/phrases normally come in pairs,
-either can be empty. Each line reads input from the connection until
-it sees the string (or perl regular expression) contained in the
-left hand string. If the left hand string is empty then it doesn't
-read or wait for anything. The comparison is done ignoring case.
-When the left hand string has found what it is looking for (if it is)
-then the right hand string is sent to the connection.
-This process is repeated for every line of chat script.
-<P>
-<DT><B>client</B><DD><P><CODE>client</CODE> starts the connection, put the arguments you would want here
-if you were starting the client program manually. You only need this
-if the script has a different name to the callsign you are trying to
-connect to (i.e. you have a script called other which actually
-connects to GB7DJK-1 [instead of a script called gb7djk-1]).
-</DL>
-<P>
-<P>There are many possible ways to configure the script but here are three examples,
-one for a NETRom/AX25 connect, one for AGW engines and one for tcp/ip.
