+1. Change the processing of trailing callsigns slightly so that /1 /2 etc are
+   retained, but the /P /M /A /MM etc are removed.
+20Mar24======================================================================
+1. Has it really been so long since the last update?
+2. Since forever, mainly because filtering was done very early on in
+   DXSpider's development, clearing a filter needed a disconnect/reconnect
+   cycle from the user/node to activate. Now clearing or changing a filter is
+   immediately effective in the current session. 
+
+   Also things like: 'rej/spot user_default on vhf' will immediately apply 
+   to all users that do not already have some other filter in place. Users
+   can override this by setting a filter. 
+   
+   The Filter system will now show the actual token that a faulty command
+   dislikes.  
+3. Disable the "is there a route to callsign X3XXX" test in talk. This is a 
+   legacy test that should not apply at the user level. The resulting PC93 is
+   flood routed unless there is a genuine direct route to that callsign.  
+25Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Changed the default of X and Y (in item 2 below) to 27 and 20 respectively.
+24Mar23=======================================================================
+1. Restore perl regex version of is_ipaddr. This *should* allow windows 
+   updates to work again.
+2. Added cmd entry rate limiting. If a user sends X commmands in Y secs then
+   they are disconnected without notice. The defaults are X 
+   ($DXCommandmode::maxcmdcount) = 16 and Y ($DXCommandmode::cmdinterval) = 9.
+   
+   These can be changed by the startup script. 
+
+   These default values are set generously deliberately to allow certain user 
+   programs to get with the program and reduce the number of cmds that they
+   issue on connection down to something reasonable. For instance, I cannot
+   see why things like name, qth, lat/long/QRA (amongst several other sticky
+   user attributes that only need to be entered once) are sent on every login.
+
+   These default values WILL reduce over time.

 1. Fix DXCIDR brokenness introduced recently, speeded up DXCIDR::sort, allow
