+ http://www.dxcluster.org/download/CVSlatest.tgz

If you went down the CVS route, then everything will be nicely set out
on your local disk. If you got the ZIP file, unpack it to somewhere
convenient. The following examples assume that you put it on drive
o $mycall - Should hold the callsign of your DX Cluster
+
o $myname - The SysOp's first name
o $myalias - the SysOp's callsign. Cannot be the same as $mycall!
-
You really also ought to update the $mylatitude, $mylongitude, $myqth
and $myemail variables. And unless you are absolutely certain you know
what you're doing, you should change nothing else in this file.
- perl cluster.pl
+
+ perl cluster.pl
If you want to enable inbound "TELNET" connections, you've got a
little more work to do. From a handy "DOS box" that's not doing
anything else, do the following:-
+
+
+
copy \spider\perl\listeners.pm \spider\local
cd \spider\local
notepad listeners.pm
- ["localhost", 7300],
- ["foo.dxcluster.net", 7300],
+ ["0.0.0.0", 7300],
- On my machine, I've simply uncommented the "localhost" entry by
- removing the '#' from the front of the line. I've also uncommented the
- second line, and changed the hostname to point at "spud.ath.cx".
+ On my machine, I've simply uncommented the "0.0.0.0" entry by removing
+ the '#' from the front of the line.
If you don't have a static hostname for your machine, and you intend
to allow folk to connect to your machine across the internet, then I'd
connected to anything particularly useful at any given moment. Contact
me by Email if you want me to set up a connection for you.
