-<P>In /spider/data you will find a file called hop_table.pl. This is the file that controls your hop count settings.
-It has a set of default hops on the various PC frames and also a set for each node you want to alter the hops for.
-You may be happy with the default settings of course, but this powerful tool can help to protect and improve the
-network. The file will look something like this ...

-<P>Each set of hops is contained within a pair of curly braces and contains a series of PC frame types. PC11 for example
-is a DX spot. The figures here are not exhaustive but should give you a good idea of how the file works.
